We study convex risk measures describing the upper and lower bounds of a good deal bound, which is a subinterval of a no-arbitrage pricing bound. We call such a convex risk measure a good deal valuation and give a set of equivalent conditions for its existence in terms of market. A good deal valuation is characterized …

We study a notion of good-deal hedging, that corresponds to good-deal valuation for generalized good-deal constraints. Under model uncertainty about the market prices of risk of hedging assets, a robust approach leads to a reduction or even elimination of a speculative component in good-deal hedging, which is shown to …

We shall provide in this paper good deal pricing bounds for contingent claims induced by the shortfall risk with some loss function. Assumptions we impose on loss functions and contingent claims are very mild. We prove that the upper and lower bounds of good deal pricing bounds are expressed by convex risk measures on …

We investigate the structure of good deal bounds, which are subintervals of a no-arbitrage pricing bound, for financial market models with convex constraints as an extension of Arai and Fukasawa (2014). The upper and lower bounds of a good deal bound are naturally described by a convex risk measure. We call such a risk…

Proposes a new framework to manage venture capital portfolio risk by focusing on deal-level correlations.

problem Managing venture capital portfolio risk, especially extreme outcomes.
method Gaussian-copula-based framework that learns deal-level dependence from observed joint success frequencies.
result Correlation amplifies extreme upside outcomes, shifting portfolio distribution toward heavier right tails.

We consider option pricing in a regime-switching diffusion market. As the market is incomplete, there is no unique price for a derivative. We apply the good-deal pricing bounds idea to obtain ranges for the price of a derivative. As an illustration, we calculate the good-deal pricing bounds for a European call option a…

Study financial contracts pricing in markets with nonproportional costs and constraints.

problem Financial contract pricing in markets with nonproportional transaction costs and portfolio constraints.
method Direct and dual characterization of market-consistent prices with acceptable risk thresholds.
result Extension of the Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing to include good deals and scalable good deals.

This paper deals with applications of coherent risk measures to pricing in incomplete markets. Namely, we study the No Good Deals pricing technique based on coherent risk. Two forms of this technique are presented: one defines a good deal as a trade with negative risk; the other one defines a good deal as a trade with …

Optimal execution strategy for merger & acquisition contracts with price impact.

problem Optimal execution and pricing of financial derivatives in M&A deals.
method Indifference utility arguments, considering linear and nonlinear contracts.
result Linear contracts are more expensive and vulnerable to manipulation.

A simple strategy optimizes broker-client trading, reducing price discounts for informed traders.

problem Optimizing broker-client trading to balance client flow and informed trader losses.
method Modelled as a stochastic control problem, derived optimal strategy in closed form, introduced algorithm.
result Optimal strategy reduces price discounts for informed traders, balancing client flow and informed trader losses.

AI platforms disrupt investment by personalizing deal sourcing and insights.

problem Lack of scalable, personalized, and privacy-compliant deal sourcing and insights solutions.
method Development of in-house AI platforms that interact directly with funds and learn from interactions.
result AI platforms provide smarter, personalized use cases for funds, offering a competitive advantage.

We propose a top-down model for cash CLO. This model can consistently price cash CLO tranches both within the same deal and across different deals. Meaningful risk measures for cash CLO tranches can also be defined and computed. This method is self-consistent, easy to implement and computationally efficient. It has the…

Interest prohibition theory concerns theoretical aspects of interest prohibition. We attempt to lay down some aspects of interest prohibition theory wrapped in a larger framework of informal logic. The reason for this is that interest prohibition theory has to deal with a variety of arguments which is so wide that a li…

Tree-based ensemble methods, as Random Forests and Gradient Boosted Trees, have been successfully used for regression in many applications and research studies. Furthermore, these methods have been extended in order to deal with uncertainty in the output variable, using for example a quantile loss in Random Forests (Me…

method Introduced a time-aware and stationary extension of recurrent neural networks.
result Demonstrated improved performance on industrial input/output processes.

In this note, we introduce a new algorithm to deal with finite dimensional clustering with errors in variables. The design of this algorithm is based on recent theoretical advances (see Loustau (2013a,b)) in statistical learning with errors in variables. As the previous mentioned papers, the algorithm mixes different t…

Large size models are implemented in recently ASR system to deal with complex speech recognition problems. The num- ber of parameters in these models makes them hard to deploy, especially on some resource-short devices such as car tablet. Besides this, at most of time, ASR system is used to deal with real-time problem …

The causes underlying unfair decision making are complex, being internalised in different ways by decision makers, other actors dealing with data and models, and ultimately by the individuals being affected by these decisions. One frequent manifestation of all these latent causes arises in the form of missing values: p…

In this paper the author studies the isoperimetric problem in $\re^n$ with perimeter density xp|x|^p and volume density 1.1. We settle completely the case n=2,n=2, completing a previous work by the author: we characterize the case of equality if 0p10\leq p\leq 1 and deal with the case <p<1-\infty<p<-1 (with the additional a…

Historically, Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and its variants such as LSTM and GRU and more recently Transformers have been the standard go-to components when processing sequential data with neural networks. One notable issue is the relative difficulty to deal with long sequences (i.e. more than 20,000 steps). We int…

We use a replica approach to deal with portfolio optimization problems. A given risk measure is minimized using empirical estimates of asset values correlations. We study the phase transition which happens when the time series is too short with respect to the size of the portfolio. We also study the noise sensitivity o…

In quantum physics, the operators associated with the position and the momentum of a particle are unbounded operators and CC^*-algebraic quantisation does therefore not deal with such operators.
