Nonmyopic optimal portfolios in viable markets

We provide a representation for the nonmyopic optimal portfolio of an agent consuming only at the terminal horizon when the single state variable follows a general diffusion process and the market consists of one risky asset and a risk-free asset. The key term of our representation is a new object that we call the “rate of macroeconomic fluctuation” whose properties are fundamental for the portfolio dynamics. We show that, under natural cyclicality conditions, (i) the agent’s hedging demand is positive (negative) when the product of his prudence and risk tolerance is below (above) two and (ii) the portfolio weights decrease in risk aversion. We apply our results to study a general continuous-time capital asset pricing model and show that under the same cyclicality conditions, the market price of risk is countercyclical and the price of the risky asset exhibits excess volatility.     

Projection Pricing

A significant problem in modern finance theory is how to price assets whose payoffs are outside the span of marketed assets. In practice, prices of assets are often assigned by using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). If the market portfolio is efficient, the price obtained this way is equal to the price of an asset whose payoff, viewed as a vector in a Hilbert space of random variables, is projected orthogonally onto the space of marketed assets. This paper looks at the pricing problem from this projection viewpoint. It is shown that the results of the CAPM formula are duplicated by a formula based on the minimum-norm portfolio, and this pricing formula is valid even in cases when there is no efficient portfolio of risky assets. The relation of the pricing to other aspects of projection are also developed. In particular, a new pricing formula, called the correlation pricing formula, is developed that yields the same price as the CAPM, but is likely to be more accurate and more convenient than the CAPM in some cases.

Using distortions of copulas to price synthetic CDOs

This paper demonstrates how to use distorted Gaussian copula functions to produce a heavy tailed portfolio loss distribution in the context of synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs). Distortion functions have not previously been used in this area. Hence, we demonstrate that it is possible to simulate realistic tranche prices by incorporating distorted copula functions within a well established CDO pricing system, such as that of JP Morgan. Furthermore, we only require a single dependence parameter for the entire portfolio rather than one per tranche. Thus, we are providing practitioners with a simpler and more flexible alternative to current CDO pricing methods.     

Convex analysis in financial mathematics

Using the language of convex analysis, we describe key results in several important areas of finance: portfolio theory, financial derivative trading and pricing and consumption based asset pricing theory. We hope to emphasize the importance of convex analysis in financial mathematics and also draw the attention of researchers in convex analysis to interesting issues in financial applications.     

Pricing of long dated equity-linked life insurance contracts

This article adopts an approach to pricing of equity-linked life insurance contracts, which only requires the existence of the numéraire portfolio. An equity-linked life insurance contract is equivalent to a sum of the guaranteed amount and the value of an option on the equity index with some mortality risk attached. The numéraire portfolio equals the growth optimal portfolio and is used as numéraire or benchmark, where the real-world probability measure is taken as pricing measure. To obtain tractable solutions the short rate is modelled as a quadratic form of some Gaussian factor processes. Furthermore, the dynamics of the mortality rate is modelled as a threshold life table. The dynamics of the discounted equity market index or benchmark is modelled by a time transformed squared Bessel process. The equity-linked life insurance contracts are evaluated analytically.     

投资者情绪影响下资本资产定价的区制性研究——基于股票论坛发帖的情感分析

本文首先建立一个考虑投资者情绪的资本资产定价模型,研究发现,投资者情绪是资产定价的系统性因子且对其影响具有区制性(存在三个区制)。在此基础上通过仿真揭示投资者情绪对资产定价影响存在区制性的原因在于当投资者情绪增加时,最优组合超额收益受组合效应与情绪效应的综合影响。最后基于股票论坛发帖的情感分析构建投资者情绪指标,实证检验了本文的理论模型,并发现基于普通的线性回归模型得到的投资者情绪对股指超额收益影响,一方面会在投资者情绪处于第二区制内时将其对股指超额收益影响方向弄反,另一方面会在投资者情绪处于第三区制内时低估其增加导致的股指超额收益平均增加程度。     

Modeling credit portfolio derivatives,including both a default and a prepayment feature

Apart from heteronomy exit events such as, for example credit default or death, several financial agreements allow policy holders to voluntarily terminate the contract. Examples include callable mortgages or life insurance contracts. For the contractual counterpart, the result is a cash‐flow uncertainty called prepayment risk. Despite the high relevance of this implicit option, only few portfolio models consider both a default and a cancellability feature. On a portfolio level, this is especially critical because empirical observations of the mortgage market suggest that prepayment risk is an important determinant for the pricing of mortgage‐backed securities. Furthermore, defaults and prepayments tend to occur in clusters, and there is evidence for a negative association between the two risks. This paper presents a realistic and tractable portfolio model that takes into account these observations. Technically, we rely on an Archimedean dependence structure. A suitable parameterization allows to fit the likelihood of default and prepayment clusters separately and accounts for the postulated negative interdependence. Moreover, this structure turns out to be tractable enough for real‐time evaluation of portfolio derivatives. As an application, the pricing of loan credit default swaps, an example of a portfolio derivative that includes a cancellability feature, is discussed. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
