Abstract
Based on a novel extension of classical Hoeffding-Fréchet bounds, we provide an upper VaR bound
for joint risk portfolios with fixed marginal distributions and positive dependence information. The positive
dependence information can be assumed to hold in the tails, in some central part, or on a general subset of
the domain of the distribution function of a risk portfolio. The newly provided VaR bound can be interpreted
as a comonotonic VaR computed at a distorted confidence level and its quality is illustrated in a series of
examples of practical interest.
