投资组合保险CPPI策略研究

随着期权理论应用的发展,投资组合保险在国外已成为一种盛行的资产配置策略, 常数比例投资组合保险策略(CPPI)以其模型简单、参数的设置又能充分反映投资人不同的风险偏好、而且易于实施,成为大型安全型基金的基金经理首选的投资策略.本文研究并推广了CPPI策略,找出CPPI与期权的关系,讨论了借贷限制对(CPPI策略的影响,最后对CPPI策略在中国市场的可投资性进行了评测.     

CPPI的优化策略及实证分析

CPPI策略作为一种重要的投资组合保险策略,在保本基金,保险等领域得到广泛应用,许多关于CPPI策略的研究都是假设市场在连续时间条件下.通过研究基于离散时间条件下的CPPI策略,并引入股指期货作为风险资产,对传统CPPI策略进行修正;同时讨论修正CPPI策略模型和传统CPPI策略模型在不同市场状况下的差异.采用Monte Carlo模拟方法对不同CPPI策略进行仿真,结果表明:在离散时间条件下,当放大乘数m较小时,不同CPPI策略都能实现保本,但不同CPPI策略期末价值差别明显.     

基于随机模糊投资乘数的离散CPPI资产配置研究

以传统CPPI投资策略的分析框架为基础,在风险资产为连续价格波动的条件下,构建离散投资决策时点的CPPI投资策略。引入模糊决策的分析方法度量投资决策者的心理预期,将传统CPPI投资策略中的投资乘数修正为随机模糊投资乘数,采用马尔科夫链蒙特卡洛模拟风险资产未来市场价格,利用模糊隶属函数描述投资决策者对未来市场运行状况预期的不确定性,保证即使投资决策者预期不精确的条件下,也能保证离散CPPI投资策略获得相对稳定的投资效果。利用中国证券市场上的真实数据进行实证检验,认为:随机模糊投资乘数最大限度地涵盖了投资决策者主观预测的不确定性;基于随机模糊投资乘数的离散CPPI投资策略在不同的市场运行状况中,较传统的CPPI投资策略更具投资的灵活性,可以在保证投资保险的前提下,追求较高的投资收益。

Options on constant proportion portfolio insurance with guaranteed minimum equity exposure

In the present paper we study a new exotic option offering participation in a dynamic asset allocation strategy, which is an extension of the well‐known Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) strategy. Our novel approach consists in assuming that the percentage of wealth invested in stocks cannot go under a fixed level, called guaranteed minimum equity exposure (GMEE). In particular, our proposal ensures to overcome the so‐called cash‐in risk, typically related to a standard CPPI technique, simultaneously guaranteeing the equity market participation. We look deeper into the valuation of call and put options linked to this new CPPI‐GMEE strategy. A particular attention is devoted to the analysis of key parameters' value as to gain a better understanding of the sensitivities of the option prices, when changing, for example, the embedded guarantee level. To show the effectiveness of our proposal we provide a detailed computational analysis within the Heston‐Vasicek framework, numerically comparing the evaluation of the price of European plain vanilla options when the underlying is either a purely risky asset, a standard CPPI portfolio and a CPPI with GMEE.     

Stochastic dominance of portfolio insurance strategies

The purpose of this article is to analyze and compare two standard portfolio insurance methods: Option-based Portfolio Insurance (OBPI) and Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI). Various stochastic dominance criteria up to third order are considered. We derive parameter conditions implying the second- and third-order stochastic dominance of the CPPI strategy. In particular, restrictions on the CPPI multiplier resulting from the spread between the implied volatility and the empirical volatility are analyzed.     

For what trading strategies is the tax payment stream of infinite variation?

For an Itô asset price process and under quite mild structural assumptions, we show that the accumulated payments of a linear tax on trading gains are of infinite variation if the quadratic covariation of the trading strategy and the asset price is negative. By contrast, if the strategy is a smooth function of the asset price and some finite variation processes with positive partial derivative with respect to the price variable, then accumulated tax payments are of finite variation. An interesting example are constant proportion portfolio insurance (CPPI) strategies which we extend to models with capital gains taxes. The associated tax payment stream is of finite variation if the tax-adjusted constant multiple of the cushion which is invested in the risky asset is bigger or equal to one. Otherwise, it is of infinite variation.     

On the optimal design of insurance contracts with guarantees

The paper analyzes insurance contracts where the benefits of the insured depend on the performance of an investment strategy and which guarantee a certain interest rate on the contributions made by the insured. The insured has to decide simultaneously on the investment strategy and the guarantee scheme. For a CRRA insured and in a BS economy, the optimal combination is given by a constant mix strategy and the contribution guarantee scheme. In case the insured has a subsistence level, the CPPI strategy turns out to be optimal for arbitrary schemes. We illustrate our results by numerical examples and analyze the utility losses of a CRRA insured due to the use of a suboptimal combination of investment strategy and guarantee scheme.     

常数比例投资组合保险(CPPI)策略 --捐赠型基金投资策略的最优选择

本文采用Merton提出的处理捐赠型基金的连续时间模型的一般框架，分析了在风险资产为几何布朗运动，效用函数为CRRA效用函数，且捐赠型基金有动态最低支出时的最优支出策略和最优投资策略，结果表明存在一条策略基准线，当基金的总资产在策略基准线之上时，基金管理人关于基金支出与投资策略的选择与不存在最低支出的要求时所作出的决策是一样的，但是一旦基金的总资产低于这条策略基准线时，基金管理人便需要考虑到基金将来必要的支出，并实际影响到他对投资策略的选择，此时基金管理人可作的最优选择是：最低的支出和一种为复制幂收益函数期权的CPPI投资策略。     

The maximum surplus before ruin and related problems in a jump-diffusion renewal risk process

In this paper, we investigate a Sparre Andersen risk model perturbed by diffusion with phase-type inter-claim times. We mainly study the distribution of maximum surplus prior to ruin. A matrix form of integro-differential equation for this quantity is derived, and its solution can be expressed as a linear combination of particular solutions of the corresponding homogeneous integro-differential equations. By using the divided differences technique and nonnegative real part roots of Lundberg’s equation, the explicit Laplace transforms of particular solutions are obtained. Specially, we can deduce closed-form results as long as the individual claim size is rationally distributed. We also give a concise matrix expression for the expected discounted dividend payments under a barrier dividend strategy. Finally, we give some examples to present our main results.     

The expectation of aggregate discounted dividends for a Sparre Anderson risk process perturbed by diffusion

In this paper, we study the expectation of aggregate dividends until ruin for a Sparre Andersen risk process perturbed by diffusion under a threshold strategy, in which claim waiting times have a common generalized Erlang(n) distribution. For this strategy, we assume that if the surplus is above certain threshold level before ruin, dividends are continuously paid at a constant rate that does not exceed the premium rate, and if not, no dividends are paid. We obtain some integro-differential equations satisfied by the expected discounted dividends, and further its renewal equations. Finally, applying these results to the Erlang(2) risk model perturbed by diffusion, where claims have a common exponential distributions, we give some explicit expressions and numerical analysis.

Zinsgarantien und Modellrisiko in Lebensversicherungen

German life insurance policies provide minimum interest rate guarantees. Usually, this guarantee is given in every single year. This type of contract poses a high risk on the insurer and restricts also the flexibility of the investment strategies. Therefore, new types of guarantees were developed, assuring for instance a certain minimum interest rate only at maturity of a contract. This considerably reduces the shortfall probability for insurance companies. In this paper, the interaction of different type of guarantees and the corresponding shortfall probabilities is investigated. We also study different types of investment strategies. In the investigation of shortfall probabilities, we develop a cutting-edge dynamic trading strategy with three variants: Type I, Type II, and Type III. Especially the matured trading strategy Type III yields low shortfall probabilities, and at the same time an exemplary distribution of maturity capital. Compared with the results of the well known CPPI strategy the new strategy of Type III shows a remarkable good performance. Contrary to the existing literature, jump diffusion processes are also used for the asset price models. Compared to classical models with geometric Brownian motion, this gives a considerable increase of shortfall probabilities. The results again demonstrate that in the literature dealing with this subject, the model risk is usually underestimated.
