By considering some particular conditional risk distributions, we formalize, in several ways, the intuition that the i-th component of the portfolio is riskier when it is part of a positive dependent random vector than when it is considered alone. We also study, given two random vectors with a xed dependence structure, the circumstances under which the existence of some stochastic orderings among their marginals implies an ordering among the corresponding conditional risk distributions. %K dependence %K conditional distribution %K comonotonic vectors %K stochastic orders %K conditionally increasing %K distortion function %K distorted random variables %~ Universidad de Cádiz
