We consider d identically and continuously distributed dependent risks X 1,…, Xd . Our main result is a theorem on the asymptotic behaviour of expected shortfall for the aggregate risks: there is a constant cd such that for large u we have . Moreover we study diversification effects in two dimensions, similar to our Value-at-Risk studies in [2].
