We develop a new analysis for portfolio optimisation with options, tackling the three fundamental issues with this problem: asymmetric options' distributions, high dimensionality and dependence structure. To do so, we propose a new dependency matrix, built upon conditional probabilities between options' payoffs, and show how it can be computed in closed form given a copula structure of the underlying asset prices. The empirical evidence we provide highlights that this approach is efficient, fast and easily scalable to large portfolios of (mixed) options.
