This paper describes a methodology to approximate a bivariateMarkov process by means of a proper Markov chain and presents possible financialapplications in portfolio theory, option pricing and risk management.In particular, we first show how to model the joint distribution between marketstochastic bounds and future wealth and propose an application to large-scaleportfolio problems. Secondly, we examine an application to VaR estimation. Finally,we propose a methodology to price Asian options using a bivariate Markovprocess
