Replicating portfolios have been widely adopted by insurers as part of their regular modelling and risk measurement. Can banks benefit from the use of the replicating portfolios technique as well? What are the business cases? In this presentation we will explain the motivation for using replicating portfolios to measure option risk in the banking book and the main benefits. Moreover, we will do a deep-dive in the construction of replicating portfolios in the context of Pipeline risk. Through examples we will aim to demonstrate the main challenges and the conceptual choices that can be made.
