Download or read book Option-Based Porfolio Insurance. Analysis of Protective Put and Synthetic Put Investment Strategies written by Felix Lütjen and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1.7, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: Risk aversion is a common trait among investors. While it is possible to reduce risk attributed to specific industries and regions by diversifying among different securities, market risk affects all securities on the market. Even a perfectly diversified portfolio is subject to systematic or market risk. It can be managed through diversification across asset classes, for example by shifting some of the funds invested into risk-free assets. For some investors, this yields unsatisfactory results as the expected return directly decreases linearly with an increase in the position in the risk-free asset. Portfolio insurance (PI) describes an alternative set of strategies that allows investors to reduce their exposure to market risk by guaranteeing the value of the portfolio to be above a certain value at the end of the investment period while allowing for participation in rising stock markets. Option-based portfolio insurance (OBPI) refers to a set of strategies in which either a conventional put option (protective put) or a replicated put option (synthetic put) is used to insure a portfolio against adverse price movements. In theory and assuming perfect market conditions, protective put (PP) and synthetic put (SP) yield identical payoffs and have the same cost. In practice, there are several important differences between the two strategies. On the one hand, PP seems to be an easy and uncomplicated strategy to implement, but the unavailability of listed options with desired maturities and strike prices are major issues. SP strategies, on the other hand, can suffer from obstacles like high transaction costs and jumps in stock prices.

Download or read book Replicating and Super Replicating Portfolios in the Boyle-Vorst Discrete-time Option Pricing Model with Transactions Costs written by Ken Palmer and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working in a binomial framework, Boyle and Vorst (1992) derive self-financing strategies perfectly replicating the final payoffs to long positions in European call and put options, assuming proportional transactions costs on trades in the stocks. The initial cost of such a strategy yields, by an arbitrage argument, an upper bound for the option price. A lower bound for the option price is obtained by replicating a short position. The authors' first aim in this paper is to clarify the conditions under which there is a unique replicating strategy for an arbitrary contingent claim. Following Stettner (1997) and Rutkowski (1998), the authors work in the framework of asymmetric proportional transactions costs, which includes not only the model of Boyle and Vorst but also that of Bensaid, Lesne, Pages and Scheinkman (1992). The authors first clarify the conditions in the case of a one-period model and then extend them to the multi-period case, yielding a result which extends slightly a result of Rutkowski. Even when a contingent claim has a unique replicating portfolio, there may exist super replicating portfolios of lower cost. However, Bensaid, Lesne, Pages and Scheinkman gave super replicating portfolio. These results were generalised by Stettner and Rutkowski to the case of asymmetric transactions costs. Here the authors provide a further slight generalisation and give what seems to be a simpler proof. There are two results here: one gives a class of contingent claims for which the cost of the replicating portfolio does not exceed the cost of any super replicating portfolio and the other gives conditions on the level of transactions costs such that for any contingent claim the cost of the replicating portfolio does not exceed the cost of any super replicating portfolio. Finally the authors conjecture a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of computable "terminal probabilities" for the latter to hold for a given contingent claim when the conditions on the transactions costs do not hold.

Download or read book Static Options Replication written by Emanuel Derman and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article presents a practical and useful method for replicating or hedging a target stock option with a portfolio of other options. It shows how to construct a replicating portfolio of standard options with varying strikes and maturities and fixed portfolio weights. Once constructed, this portfolio will replicate the value of the target option for a wide range of stock prices and times before expiration, without requiring further weight adjustments. We call this method static replication. It makes no assumptions beyond those of standard options theory. You can use the technique to construct static hedges for exotic options, thereby minimizing dynamic hedging risk and costs. You can use it to structure exotic payoffs from standard options. Finally, you can use it as an aid in valuing exotic options, since it lets you decompose the exotic option into a portfolio of standard options whose market prices and bid-ask spreads may be better known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry M Markowitz received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1990 for his pioneering work in portfolio theory. He also received the von Neumann Prize from the Institute of Management Science and the Operations Research Institute of America in 1989 for his work in portfolio theory, sparse matrices and the SIMSCRIPT computer language. While Dr Markowitz is well-known for his work on portfolio theory, his work on sparse matrices remains an essential part of linear optimization calculations. In addition, he designed and developed SIMSCRIPT — a computer programming language. SIMSCRIPT has been widely used for simulations of systems such as air transportation and communication networks.This book consists of a collection of Dr Markowitz's most important works in these and other fields.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores theoretical and practical implications of reflecting the fair value of liabilities for insurance companies. In addition, the contributions discuss the disclosure of these values to the financial and regulatory communities and auditing firms which are actually calculating this illusive but important variable. It combines contributions by distinguished practitioners from the insurance, accounting and finance fields, with those of prominent academics. One of the central themes of the collection is that adequate disclosure of the true economic value of insurance company liabilities is both possible and desirable. Wherever possible, the insurance valuation process is wedded with modern financial theory. For example, the use of option pricing theory is applied to insurance companies, where the true value of the firm's liabilities is a critical variable. Methods such as cash flow, earned profit and indirect discount are explored.

This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quantitative modeling of complex systems of interacting risks is a fairly recent development in the financial and insurance industries. Over the past decades, there has been tremendous innovation and development in the actuarial field. In addition to undertaking mortality and longevity risks in traditional life and annuity products, insurers face unprecedented financial risks since the introduction of equity-linking insurance in 1960s. As the industry moves into the new territory of managing many intertwined financial and insurance risks, non-traditional problems and challenges arise, presenting great opportunities for technology development. Today's computational power and technology make it possible for the life insurance industry to develop highly sophisticated models, which were impossible just a decade ago. Nonetheless, as more industrial practices and regulations move towards dependence on stochastic models, the demand for computational power continues to grow. While the industry continues to rely heavily on hardware innovations, trying to make brute force methods faster and more palatable, we are approaching a crossroads about how to proceed. An Introduction to Computational Risk Management of Equity-Linked Insurance provides a resource for students and entry-level professionals to understand the fundamentals of industrial modeling practice, but also to give a glimpse of software methodologies for modeling and computational efficiency. Features Provides a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to quantitative risk management of equity-linked insurance with exercises and programming samples Includes a collection of mathematical formulations of risk management problems presenting opportunities and challenges to applied mathematicians Summarizes state-of-arts computational techniques for risk management professionals Bridges the gap between the latest developments in finance and actuarial literature and the practice of risk management for investment-combined life insurance Gives a comprehensive review of both Monte Carlo simulation methods and non-simulation numerical methods Runhuan Feng is an Associate Professor of Mathematics and the Director of Actuarial Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and a Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst. He is a Helen Corley Petit Professorial Scholar and the State Farm Companies Foundation Scholar in Actuarial Science. Runhuan received a Ph.D. degree in Actuarial Science from the University of Waterloo, Canada. Prior to joining Illinois, he held a tenure-track position at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he was named a Research Fellow. Runhuan received numerous grants and research contracts from the Actuarial Foundation and the Society of Actuaries in the past. He has published a series of papers on top-tier actuarial and applied probability journals on stochastic analytic approaches in risk theory and quantitative risk management of equity-linked insurance. Over the recent years, he has dedicated his efforts to developing computational methods for managing market innovations in areas of investment combined insurance and retirement planning.
