We develop a methodology to optimally design a financial issue to hedge
non-tradable risk on financial markets.The modeling involves a minimization
of the risk borne by issuer given the constraint imposed by a buyer who
enters the transaction if and only if her risk level remains below a given
threshold. Both agents have also the opportunity to invest all their residual
wealth on financial markets but they do not have the same access to financial
investments. The problem may be reduced to a unique inf-convolution problem
involving some transformation of the initial risk measures.
