Contingent Claims Analysis

Contingent Claims Analysis is a financial method used to assess the value of financial assets that depend on uncertain future events, like stock options or insurance policies. It involves modeling various scenarios and outcomes to understand the potential risk and reward associated with these assets. By analyzing different conditions—such as market changes or economic factors—investors can make informed decisions. Essentially, it helps quantify how much these claims are worth today based on possible future events, enabling better investment strategies and risk management.
