Published / Preprint: Factorising equity returns in an emerging market through exogenous shocks and capital flows. (arXiv:1306.5302v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 05:38 PM PDT

A technique from stochastic portfolio theory [Fernholz, 1998] is applied to analyse equity returns of Small, Mid and Large cap portfolios in an emerging market through periods of growth and regional crises, up to the onset of the global financial crisis. In particular, we factorize portfolios in the South African market in terms of distribution of capital, change of stock ranks in portfolios, and...

Published / Preprint: Compound Wishart Matrices and Noisy Covariance Matrices: Risk Underestimation. (arXiv:1306.5510v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 05:38 PM PDT

In this paper, we obtain a property of the expectation of the inverse of compound Wishart matrices which results from their orthogonal invariance. Using this property as well as results from random matrix theory (RMT), we derive the asymptotic effect of the noise induced by estimating the covariance matrix on computing the risk of the optimal portfolio. This in turn enables us to get...

Published / Preprint: Computational Dynamic Market Risk Measures in Discrete Time Setting. (arXiv:1306.5705v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 05:38 PM PDT

Different approaches to defining dynamic market risk measures are available in the literature. Most are focused or derived from probability theory, economic behavior or dynamic programming. Here, we propose an approach to define and implement dynamic market risk measures based on recursion and state economy representation. The proposed approach is to be implementable and to inherit properties...

Blog Post: Falkenblog: A Premium for Negative Skew?

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 06:30 AM PDT

Xiong, Idzorek, and Ibbotson have a new paper coming out in the JPM showing that mutual funds with the highest tail risk (ie, highest probability of extreme downside returns) have higher returns. That is, there's a positive risk premium to negative skew. This is rather curious.The only thing I saw in this field related to this found the opposite. That is, in a 2006 JoF paper, Kosowski,...
