Study examines Indian equity mutual funds' investment style and risk-shifting.

problem Understanding how Indian equity mutual funds' investment styles affect their returns.

result Funds can enhance returns by shifting to high-return styles like Small Value and Small Blend.

We find that when measured in terms of dollar-turnover, and once ββ-neutralised and Low-Vol neutralised, the Size Effect is alive and well. With a long term t-stat of 5.15.1, the "Cold-Minus-Hot" (CMH) anomaly is certainly not less significant than other well-known factors such as Value or Quality. As compared to marke…

The MAXFLAT low-pass filter improves factor adjustment for better portfolio performance in China's stock market.

problem Improving factor adjustment for better portfolio performance in China's stock market.
method Using MAXFLAT low-pass volatility model to adjust factors and construct portfolios.
result Adjusted factors by MAXFLAT volatility model show better performance in both large and small cap universes.

Study reveals how investor flows impact stock prices, especially during herding episodes.

problem Understanding how information transmits through prices and why it breaks down.
method Combining regularized deconvolution with Hawkes process analysis.
result Institutional price impact deteriorates sharply during herding episodes in small-cap stocks, while large-cap stocks maintain resilience.

A new method uses GATs to optimise portfolios of mid-cap firms, outperforming traditional methods.

problem Optimising portfolios of mid-cap firms considering interdependencies and firms at risk of default.
method Graph Attention Networks (GATs) applied to large-scale financial data.
result The GAT-based portfolio outperforms traditional benchmarks over a long period.

The study extends SPT to account for real-world transaction costs, improving portfolio performance.

problem Real-world transaction costs affect portfolio performance, especially during market stress.
method Developed a continuous-time model with stochastic transaction costs and derived lower bounds for cost-adjusted wealth.
result Functionally generated portfolios can still achieve relative arbitrage after accounting for transaction costs.

Study reveals opacity in insider sales, leading to inefficiencies in capital allocation.

problem Insider sales opacity due to reporting inversion of Form 144 and Form 4.
method Event study framework, machine learning audit, cross-sectional tests.
result Persistent opacity of insider sales signals, leading to inefficiencies in capital allocation.

Composite development indicators used in policy making often subjectively aggregate a restricted set of indicators. We show, using dimensionality reduction techniques, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and for the first time information filtering and hierarchical clustering, that these composite indicators m…

This study examined how the correlation and network structure of 30 global indices and 145 local Korean indices belonging to the KOSPI 200 have changed during the 13-year period, 2000-2012. The correlations among the indices were calculated. The results showed that although the average correlations of the global indice…

Financial market created for wellbeing indices to mitigate socioeconomic risks.

problem Risk mitigation in financial indices of socioeconomic wellbeing.
method Developed new quantitative measure, created financial market, and implemented insurance instruments.
result Optimal portfolio weights and efficient frontiers for wellbeing indices.

Investigates local indicability of groups with circle homology presentations.

problem Conditions for local indicability in groups with circle homology presentations.
method Generalizes results for two-relator presentations to circle homology presentations.
result Extends results on local indicability to LOT groups and non-cycle-free Adian presentations.

We define analytic indices which involve the eta form and the analytic torsion form. We show that these indices are independent of the geometric choices made in their definitions, and hence are topological in nature.

problem Inherent risks and sustainability concerns in environmental investments.
method Quantitative measures, econometric analysis, dynamic asset pricing tools, and financial options.
result Monetization and construction of country-specific environmental indices as dollar-denominated assets.

The study analyzes performance indices for class-imbalanced data and identifies conditions they must meet.

problem Distortions in performance indices under class imbalance.
method Identified two conditions for performance indices and analyzed four binary and five multi-class indices.
result Recommended appropriate indices for evaluating classifiers in class-imbalanced scenarios.

Study finds traditional technical indicators underperform in high-frequency trading, suggesting risk management over prediction.

problem Inadequately explored effectiveness of technical indicators in high-frequency trading, particularly at minute-level frequency.
method Evaluation of random forest models with traditional technical indicators on minute-level SPY data.
result In-sample performance is superior to out-of-sample, with risk-adjusted metrics not outperforming a simple buy-and-hold strategy.

This paper provides a unified framework, which allows, in particular, to study the structure of dynamic monetary risk measures and dynamic acceptability indices. The main mathematical tool, which we use here, and which allows us to significantly generalize existing results is the theory of L0L^0-modules. In the first p…
