48 results for Market-based returns

The paper explores how market-based returns depend on past trade values.

problem Improving accuracy in forecasting market-based average and volatility of returns.
method Derives the dependence of market-based volatility and higher statistical moments of returns on statistical moments and correlations of current and past trade values.
result Market-based statistical moments can be approximated by a finite number of moments, improving forecast reliability.

We describe how the market-based average and volatility of the "actual" return, which the investors gain within their market sales, depend on the statistical moments, volatilities, and correlations of the current and past market trade values. We describe three successive approximations. First, we derive the dependence …

Unified market-based description of returns and variances of trades.

problem Market-based variance of trades and market portfolio.
method Unified market-based approach to describe returns and variances of trades and market portfolio.
result Market-based variance accounts for random volumes of trades and differs from Markowitz's portfolio variance.

Markowitz simplified portfolio returns assuming constant trade volumes.

problem Measuring portfolio risks using traditional methods ignores trade volume randomness.
method Uses time series of trades with securities and portfolio to assess variance.
result Portfolio variance can be decomposed into securities' contributions, accounting for trade volume randomness.

We introduce a new Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) model for simulating price evolution in an artificial financial market, based on a multilayer network of traders. The model also implements, in a quite realistic way with respect to previous studies, the order book dy- namics, by considering two assets with variable f…

Study finds key investing characteristics for success in equity markets.

problem Understanding what traits lead to financial success in equity markets.
method Exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression on 403 respondents' data.

Closed-form optimal portfolios for exponential utility in small/large markets.

problem Optimal portfolios maximizing exponential utility in small/large financial markets.
method Closed-form expressions for optimal portfolios in small markets, convergence to large market optimal utility, numerical procedure for general utility functions.
result Optimal utility in large markets converges to optimal utility in small markets, requiring infinite diversification.

The paper explores how market trade values and volumes affect price and return statistics.

problem Understanding the statistical properties of market trade, price, and return.
method Introduces secondary averaging procedure to describe statistical moments of market trades, price, and return.
result Predictions of market-based probabilities of price and return are limited by Gaussian distributions.

The aim of this paper is to determine the Value at Risk (VaR) of the portfolio consisting of long positions in foreign currencies on an emerging market. Basing on empirical data we restrict ourselves to the case when the tail parts of distributions of logarithmic returns of these assets follow the power laws and the lo…

Price and return predictions are limited by economic complexity, not just volatility.

problem Limited accuracy of price and return probability forecasts by Gaussian distributions.
method Analyzes economic reasons behind limitations in predicting price and return statistical moments.
result Predictions of price and return probabilities by Gaussian distributions are inaccurate due to economic complexity.

Market-based asset price probability depends on trade volumes and values, improving forecasts and reliability.

problem Limited accuracy of frequency-based asset price statistical moments.
method Derive market-based variance and 3rd statistical moment from trade values and volumes, accounting for trade volume randomness.
result Market-based statistical moments improve price probability forecasts and reliability.

The paper examines how market trade values and volumes affect price autocorrelation.

problem Understanding the impact of market trade values and volumes on price autocorrelation.
method Derives the dependence of price statistical moments and volatility on trade values and volumes, and assesses statistical moments and correlations by conventional frequency-based probabilities.
result Highlights the impact of market trade randomness on price statistical moments and autocorrelation.

The paper classifies market states to predict trading strategies, outperforming traditional methods.

problem Directly predicting prices or returns is unreliable; classifying market states is a better approach.
method Classify market states using various labels and features, then combine probabilities from neural networks.
result Trading strategy ensembles outperform traditional methods in returns and risk-adjusted returns.

Recently the statistical characterizations of financial markets based on physics concepts and methods attract considerable attentions. We used two possible procedures of analyzing multifractal properties of a time series. The first one uses the continuous wavelet transform and extracts scaling exponents from the wavele…

This paper introduces a new market-based carbon risk measure for portfolio optimization.

problem The challenge of measuring and managing carbon risk in investment portfolios.
method Develops a market-based carbon risk measure and applies it to minimum variance portfolio construction.
result Market-based carbon risk measures can complement fundamental-based approaches in portfolio optimization.

DynMSA detects market clusters for better portfolio allocation.

problem Identifying stable market clusters for effective portfolio management.
method Combining Random Matrix Theory with modularity optimization and spectral clustering.
result DynMSA outperforms baseline models in intra- and inter-cluster correlation differences.

In this paper, we implement and test two types of market-based models for European-type options, based on the tangent Levy models proposed recently by R. Carmona and S. Nadtochiy. As a result, we obtain a method for generating Monte Carlo samples of future paths of implied volatility surfaces. These paths and the surfa…

Model predicts Chinese stock market liquidity and customer order behavior.

problem Understanding market liquidity and customer order behavior in the Chinese stock market.
method Dual state-space model using Fourier transform to connect volume-at-price buckets to correlations.

Much research has been conducted arguing that tipping points at which complex systems experience phase transitions are difficult to identify. To test the existence of tipping points in financial markets, based on the alternating offer strategic model we propose a network of bargaining agents who mutually either coopera…

A key issue in the estimation of energy hedges is the hedgers' attitude towards risk which is encapsulated in the form of the hedgers' utility function. However, the literature typically uses only one form of utility function such as the quadratic when estimating hedges. This paper addresses this issue by estimating an…
