Published / Preprint: Currency Derivatives Pricing for Markov-modulated Merton Jump-diffusion Spot Forex Rate. (arXiv:1402.2273v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 05:37 PM PST

We derived similar to Bo et al. (2010) results but in the case when the dynamics of the FX rate is driven by a general Merton jump-diffusion process. The main results of our paper are as follows: 1) formulas for the Esscher transform parameters which ensure that the martingale condition for the discounted foreign exchange rate is a martingale for a general Merton jump--diffusion process are...

Published / Preprint: Risk Margin Quantile Function Via Parametric and Non-Parametric Bayesian Quantile Regression. (arXiv:1402.2492v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 05:37 PM PST

We develop quantile regression models in order to derive risk margin and to evaluate capital in non-life insurance applications. By utilizing the entire range of conditional quantile functions, especially higher quantile levels, we detail how quantile regression is capable of providing an accurate estimation of risk margin and an overview of implied capital based on the historical volatility of a...

Published / Preprint: Model-independent Superhedging under Portfolio Constraints. (arXiv:1402.2599v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 05:37 PM PST

In a discrete-time market, we study the problem of model-independent superhedging of exotic options under portfolio constraints. The superhedging portfolio consists of static positions in liquidly traded vanilla options, and a dynamic trading strategy, subject to certain constraints, on the risky asset. By the theory of Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport, we establish a superhedging duality,...

Several drivers will impact the evolution of the post trade industry. Different drivers act in different directions, however, if there is one common theme that is the concentration of players in the post trade ecosystem is likely to go up over the next 5-7 years and post-trade processing will increasingly become a scale business.
