Our technique finds option strategies which are fundamentally divergent from those that the classical portfolio techniques calculate. Our strategies can dominate the classical mean-variance portfolios, both in normal situations and in an unexpected downturn.TOPICS: Portfolio construction, options, VAR and use of alternative risk measures of trading risk
