Insurers issuing segregated fund policies apply dynamic hedging to mitigate risks related to guarantees embedded in … the imperfect correlation between the underlying fund and its corresponding hedging instruments. The current work … discusses the implications of using fund mapping regressions when the joint dynamics of the underlying and hedging assets is a …

We develop a new tail risk measure for hedge funds to examine the impact of tail risk on fund performance and to identify the sources of tail risk. We find that tail risk affects the cross-sectional variation in fund returns, and investments in both, tailsensitive stocks as well as options,...
