Hence we obtain a generalisation of F. Delbaen's m-stability condition [{\it The structure of m-stable sets and in particular of the set of risk neutral measures}, in: In Memoriam Paul-Andr{\'e} Meyer, Springer, Berlin et al. (2006) 215--258] for the problem of reserving in a collection of num\'eraires {\bf V}, called {\bf V}-m-stability, provided these cones arise from acceptance sets of a dynamic coherent measure of risk [see P. Artzner, F. Delbaen, J.-M. Eber, and D. Heath: {\it Thinking coherently}, Risk 10 (1997) 68--71; {\it Coherent measures of risk}, Math. Finance 9(3) (1999) 203--228]. We also prove that {\bf V}-m-stability is equivalent to time-consistency when reserving in portfolios of {\bf V}, which is of particular interest to insurers.
