Published / Preprint: Multivariate Stop loss Mixed Erlang Reinsurance risk: Aggregation, Capital allocation and Default risk. (arXiv:1501.07297v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 29 Jan 2015 05:37 PM PST

In this paper, we address the aggregation of dependent stop loss reinsurance risks where the dependence among the ceding insurer(s) risks is governed by the Sarmanov distribution and each individual risk belongs to the class of Erlang mixtures. We investigate the e?ects of the ceding insurer(s) risk dependencies on the reinsurer risk profile by deriving a closed formula for the...

Published / Preprint: Valuation Algorithms for Structural Models of Financial Interconnectedness. (arXiv:1501.07402v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 29 Jan 2015 05:37 PM PST

Much research in systemic risk is focused on default contagion. While this demands an understanding of valuation, fewer articles specifically deal with the existence, the uniqueness, and the computation of equilibrium prices in structural models of interconnected financial systems. However, beyond contagion research, these topics are also essential for risk-neutral pricing. In this article, we...

Published / Preprint: Information in stock prices and some consequences. (arXiv:1501.07473v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 29 Jan 2015 05:37 PM PST

Stock prices will rarely follow the assumed model but, when stock's transaction times are dense in the interval $[t_0,T),$ they determine risk neutral probability (-ies) ${\cal P}^*$ for the stock price at time $T.$ The remaining available risk neutral probabilities at $T$ correspond to stock prices with different jumps-variability. The findings indicate that ${\cal P}^*$ may be a...

Published / Preprint: Portfolio Optimization under Shortfall Risk Constraint. (arXiv:1501.07480v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 29 Jan 2015 05:37 PM PST

This paper solves a utility maximization problem under utility-based shortfall risk constraint, by proposing an approach using Lagrange multiplier and convex duality. Under mild conditions on the asymptotic elasticity of the utility function and the loss function, we find an optimal wealth process for the constrained problem and characterize the bi-dual relation between the respective value...

Published / Preprint: Adaptive Filter Design for Stock Market Prediction Using a Correlation-based Criterion. (arXiv:1501.07504v1 [stat.AP])

Posted: 29 Jan 2015 05:37 PM PST

This paper presents a novel adaptive-filter approach for predicting assets on the stock markets. Concepts are introduced here, which allow understanding this method and computing of the corresponding forecast. This approach is applied, as an example, through the prediction over the actual valuation of the PETR3 shares (Petrobras ON) traded in the Brazilian Stock Market. The first-rate choices of...

Published / Preprint: Short-time at-the-money skew and rough fractional volatility. (arXiv:1501.06980v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 05:36 PM PST

The Black-Scholes implied volatility skew at the money of SPX options is known to obey a power law with respect to the time-to-maturity. We construct a model of the underlying asset price process which is dynamically consistent to the power law. The volatility process of the model is driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter less than half. The fractional Brownian motion is...

We study the continuous time portfolio optimization model on the market where the mean returns of individual securities or asset categories are linearly dependent on underlying economic factors. We introduce the functional $Q_\gamma$ featuring the expected earnings yield of portfolio minus a penalty term proportional with a coefficient $\gamma$ to the variance when we keep the value of...
