The cornerstone of the Black-Scholes model is the possibility of hedging of any option by creating a portfolio of shares and zero coupon bonds. The Black-Scholes formula is supposed to show the weights of the components composing the portfolio.

This process is called dynamic hedging, and the underlying portfolio is referred to as a dynamic-replicating portfolio. The authors' goal is as follows: given a standard option with a particular strike and expiration, they would like to obtain the portfolio of other standard options with behavior similar to the original (target) option.

The decisions taken by the Basle Committee have encouraged the banks to develop more innovative methodologies in order to assess the financial risks. The Credit Risk can be measured with a homogeneous measuring unit called VaR. This measuring unit stands for various and complementary approaches: VaR Rating, VaR Spread, VaR contingent. This paper aims at presenting these various methodologies and suggests a contingent approach with an interest rate stochastic diffusion process (including jump functions distributed following a law of Poisson) and a Monte Carlo simulation. Empirical tests are also included in this paper.
