Optimal portfolios when stock prices follow an exponential Lévy process
We investigate some portfolio problems that consist of maximizing expected terminal wealth under the constraint of an upper bound for the risk, where we measure risk by the variance, but also by the Capital-at-Risk (CaR). The solution of the mean-variance problem has the same structure for any price process which follows an exponential Lévy process. The mean-CaR involves a quantile of the corre...
متن کاملLeveraged Speculators and Asset Prices
I test the hypothesis that the use of leverage by market speculators can increase the likelihood and magnitude of a crash in asset prices. Using a novel leverage measure derived from public filings, I find that stocks held by highly levered hedge funds subsequently have more negatively skewed returns than stocks held by less levered funds. This finding extends to the aggregate U.S. market index...
متن کاملIntegro-differential equations for option prices in exponential Lévy models
We explore the precise link between option prices in exponential Lévy models and the related partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) in the case of European options and options with single or double barriers. We first discuss the conditions under which options prices are classical solutions of the PIDEs. We show that these conditions may fail in pure jump models and give examples of lack...
متن کاملLong-run models of oil stock prices
The identification of the forces that drive oil stock prices is extremely important given the size of the Oil&Gas industry and its links with the energy sector and the environment. In the next decade oil companies will have to deal with international policies to contrast climate change. This issue is likely to affect companies' shareholder values. In this paper we focus on the long-run financia...
متن کاملEstimation of Value at Risk (VaR) Based On Lévy-GARCH Models: Evidence from Tehran Stock Exchange
This paper aims to estimate the Value-at-Risk (VaR) using GARCH type models with improved return distribution. Value at Risk (VaR) is an essential benchmark for measuring the risk of financial markets quantitatively. The parametric method, historical simulation, and Monte Carlo simulation have been proposed in several financial mathematics and engineering studies to calculate VaR, that each of ...
