Abstract: We consider upper and lower bounds for the stop-loss premiums and Tail Values-at-Risk (TVaR’s) for the difference of random variables. We show that the upper and lower bounds are attained when the random variables involved are counter-monotonic and comonotonic, respectively. In both cases, we derive closed form expressions for the stop-loss premium and the TVaR.
