The main idea of a replicating portfolio is to find a portfolio of assets whose value is equal to the value of a liability portfolio under today's market conditions and future market conditions. Because simulating a replicating portfolio consisting of a few hundred assets is more computationally efficient than simulating the entire liability portfolio, the replicating portfolio is used in place of the liability portfolio when performing any number of risk analyses. Replicating portfolios are often used to calculate risk measures such as value-at-risk or cash-flow-at-risk, as well as for economic capital and regulatory capital calculations. In addition, replicating portfolios can be used in the construction of dynamic hedge programs or as performance targets for asset managers.
