چکیده

In this paper, the financial engineering minimum risk-based portfolio hedging model is first analyzed. It is then followed by the investigation on various major estimation methods for the minimum risk hedge ratio. The results revealed in the current study show that the HR obtained by the ordinary least squares (OLS) model is maximal and the out-of-sample hedging performance is the best; however, the hedging effectiveness is not sufficiently stable for both the out-of-sample and in-sample estimation. © 2011.

Hedging and Value at Risk: A Semi-Parametric Approach

The non-normality of financial asset returns has important implications for hedging. In particular, in contrast with the unambiguous effect that minimum-variance hedging has on the standard deviation, it can actually increase the negative skewness and kurtosis of hedge portfolio returns. Thus the reduction in Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) that minimum-variance hedging...

Market Conditions and Stock Indices Hedging; A Markov Regime Switching Approach

This paper utilises a new approach for determining minimum variance hedge ratio in stock index futures markets. More specifically, the performance of time-varying hedge ratios generated from Markov Regime Switching (MRS) models is investigated. The rational behind the use of these models stems from the fact that the dynamic relationship between spot and futures returns may be characterised by r...

A clustering time series model for the optimal hedge ratio decision making

In this study, a novel procedure combining computational intelligence and statistical methodologies is proposed to improve the accuracy of minimum-variance optimal hedge ratio (OHR) estimation over various hedging horizons. The time series of financial asset returns are clustered hierarchically using a growing hierarchical self-organizing map (GHSOM) based on the dynamic behaviors of market flu...
