Blog Post: Falkenblog: Volatility Risk Premium

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 06:24 PM PDT

One of the more alluring investor myths is that you can get paid a premium for having the patience to withstand risk. It's like getting paid more for working at a smelly job rather than a job surrounded by wonderful smells: in equilibrium, the bad thing no one likes (risk, smells) are compensated via an extra return. You can formalize this and it forms one of the pillars of finance under the...

Published / Preprint: Utility Maximization in a Binomial Model with transaction costs: a Duality Approach Based on the Shadow Price Process. (arXiv:1209.5175v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We consider the problem of optimizing the expected logarithmic utility of the value of a portfolio in a binomial model with proportional transaction costs with a long time horizon. By duality methods, we can find expressions for the boundaries of the no-trade-region and the asymptotic optimal growth rate, which can be made explicit for small transaction costs. Here we find that, contrary to the...

Published / Preprint: The Reactive Volatility Model. (arXiv:1209.5190v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We present a new volatility model, simple to implement, that combines various attractive features such as an exponential moving average of the price and a leverage effect. This model is able to capture the so-called "panic effect", which occurs whenever systematic risk becomes the dominant factor. consequently, in contrast to other models, this new model is as reactive as the implied volatility...

Whoâs it worth applying to?

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 07:58 AM PDT

As I’ve mentioned in previous blogs, the Autumn is the time of year that students are bombarded with employers beseeching them to apply for graduate programmes before the closing date.  These deadlines are great for the employer, but can instill panic in the student body, and panic tends to supplant reason, meaning a generation of headless chickens churning out endless non-specific and...

Research Library: Banking and Trading (pdf)

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 06:46 AM PDT

Arnoud Boot and Lev Ratnovski Abstract We study the interaction between banking and trading businesses within a universal bank. Traditional banking is relationship-based: not scalable, long-term oriented, with high implicit capital, and low risk (thanks to the law of large numbers). Trading is transactions-based: scalable, short-term, capital constrained, and with the ability to generate...

Research Library: Predatory Trading (pdf)

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 06:13 AM PDT

Markus K. Brunnermeier and Lasse Heje Pedersen Abstract This paper studies predatory trading, trading that induces and/or exploits the need of other investors to reduce their positions.We show that if one trader needs to sell, others also sell and subsequently buy back the asset. This leads to price overshooting and a reduced liquidation value for the distressed trader. Hence, the market is...
