Over the last decade, it has been shown that the concept of comonotonicity is a helpful tool for solving several research and practical problems in the domain of nance and insurance. In this paper, we give an extensive bibliographic overview - without claiming to be complete - of the developments of the theory of comonotonicity and its applications, with an emphasis on the achievements over the last ve years. These applications range from pricing and hedging of derivatives over risk management to life insurance.
