Abstract

Portfolio risk forecasting has been and continues to be an active research field for both academics and practitioners. Almost all institutional investment management firms use quantitative models for their portfolio forecasting, and researchers have explored models' econometric foundations, relative performance, and implications for capital market behavior and asset pricing equilibrium. Portfolio Risk Analysis provides an insightful and thorough overview of financial risk modeling, with an emphasis on practical applications, empirical reality, and historical perspective. Beginning with mean-variance analysis and the capital asset pricing model, the authors give a comprehensive and detailed account of factor models, which are the key to successful risk analysis in every economic climate. Topics range from the relative merits of fundamental, statistical, and macroeconomic models, to GARCH and other time series models, to the properties of the VIX volatility index. The book covers both mainstream and alternative asset classes, and includes in-depth treatments of model integration and evaluation. Credit and liquidity risk and the uncertainty of extreme events are examined in an intuitive and rigorous way. An extensive literature review accompanies each topic. The authors complement basic modeling techniques with references to applications, empirical studies, and advanced mathematical texts. This book is essential for financial practitioners, researchers, scholars, and students who want to understand the nature of financial markets or work toward improving them.

Abstract

"This text offers an accessible yet rigorous development of many of the fields of mathematics necessary for success in investment and quantitative finance, covering topics applicable to portfolio theory, investment banking, option pricing, investment, and insurance risk management. The approach emphasizes the mathematical framework provided by each mathematical discipline, and the application of each framework to the solution of finance problems. It emphasizes the thought process and mathematical approach taken to develop each result instead of the memorization of formulas to be applied (or misapplied) automatically. The objective is to provide a deep level of understanding of the relevant mathematical theory and tools that can then be effectively used in practice, to teach students how to "think in mathematics" rather than simply to do mathematics by rote." "Each chapter covers an area of mathematics such as mathematical logic, Euclidean and other spaces, set theory and topology, sequences and series, probability theory, and calculus, in each case presenting only material that is most important and relevant for quantitative finance. Each chapter includes finance applications that demonstrate the relevance of the material presented. Problem sets are offered on both the mathematical theory and the finance applications sections of each chapter. The logical organization of the book and the judicious selection of topics make the text customizable for a number of courses. The development is self-contained and carefully explained to support disciplined independent study as well. A solutions manual for students provides solutions to the book's Practice Exercises; an instructor's manual offers solutions to the Assignment Exercises as well as other materials."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

La convergence de la gestion alternative et de la gestion traditionnelle, d'une part, l'émergence de la gestion quantitative, d'autre part, reflètent la profonde mutation de la gestion d'actifs. Ce livre propose d'aborder ces différents thèmes, tous fondés sur le contrôle du risque et les modèles d'allocation d'actifs. Cet ouvrage offre un panorama des différentes modalités de la gestion quantitative, allant de la gestion indicielle à la gestion hedge funds en passant par les gestions structurée, diversifiée, profilée ou de performance absolue. L'ouvrage présente également les différentes stratégies quantitatives que sont les stratégies de réplication, d'allocation, d'options, de volatilité, d'arbitrage ou encore les stratégies trend following et mean reverting. Il montre en particulier comment l'optimisation de portefeuille, l'économétrie financière et les stratégies de gestion s'emboîtent pour former une stratégie quantitative. Il contient de nombreux exemples et illustrations portant sur les différentes classes d'actifs (actions, taux d'intérêt, change et matières premières). Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants de master, qui veulent devenir des "quants" et travailler dans la finance quantitative, et aux professionnels qui cherchent à mieux comprendre les modèles mathématiques et statistiques utilisés dans la gestion d'actifs.

Abstract

Ce livre traite tous les concepts de finance de marché en mettant l'accent sur les actions, les obligations et les options. La partie 1, sur les actions, présente la théorie classique de la rentabilité, la modélisation de la volatilité ainsi que les développements récents en matière de mesure de risque. La partie 2, sur les obligations, introduit les concepts nécessaires à la compréhension du rendement, du risque et de la déformation de la structure par terme des taux d'intérêt. La partie 3, sur les options, analyse la tarification, la gestion des risques et les dernières extensions en matière de modélisation. Tous les chapitres se concluent par de nombreux exercices, certains avec données réelles, pour que le lecteur s'approprie et mette en pratique les notions étudiées. La progression pédagogique, les nombreuses illustrations et les exercices riches et variés font de ce livre une synthèse de cours indispensable pour tout étudiant en finance de marché.

Abstract

The first decade of the 21st Century has been disastrous for financial institutions, derivatives and risk management. Counterparty credit risk has become the key element of financial risk management, highlighted by the bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers and failure of other high profile institutions such as Bear Sterns, AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The sudden realisation of extensive counterparty risks has severely compromised the health of global financial markets. Counterparty risk is now a key problem for all financial institutions. This book explains the emergence of c
