We consider stochastic liabilities in a portfolio optimization framework and include aspects from behavioral finance, in particular cumulative prospect theory (CPT). We study LDI strategies with extended preference structures and probability distortion and derive analytical solutions for a CPT portfolio optimization problem in an LDI context. Within a case study, we compare the optimal investment strategies to existing LDI approaches within traditional frameworks such as the partial surplus optimization presented in [1] and the funding ratio optimization in an expected utility framework as introduced in [2].","PeriodicalId":128926,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Insurance, Risk- and Asset Management","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124451807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the former is the classical approach pioneered by Black and Scholes [9], the latter approach separates the modeling of exogenous random price fluctuations from the cost-of-carry modeling of the stock, probably the first and most prominent example of this technique being the paper by Black [8]. While the Black—Scholes spot price approach and Black’s forward approach are equivalent, the present note demonstrates that the introduction of local volatility and/ or level-dependent default intensity into the stochastic driving process destroys this equivalence, if applied carelessly. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are discussed.","PeriodicalId":128926,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Insurance, Risk- and Asset Management","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114832765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such behavior is particularly relevant for mortgage valuation, since mortgage prepayments are clearly influenced by exogenous and individual factors besides financial reasons. In this paper we apply the general framework, proposed by Bissiri and Cogo, for modeling behavioral risk to the particular case of the valuation of a fixed-rate mortgage portfolio. We also extend the formulas by considering a pool of heterogeneous mortgagors, leading to the introduction of specific behavioral risk adjustments (βVA) in the pricing formulas.","PeriodicalId":128926,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Insurance, Risk- and Asset Management","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121566068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A natural question to ask is whether these could have been predicted, given information freely available in the financial markets beforehand.

Brigo, Jan-Frederik Mai, M.

The underlying assumption is that the behavior of the resulting iterated default distribution is similar to the one-shot distribution. It is shown that in most cases this assumption is not fulfilled and furthermore numerical analysis is presented that shows sizeable differences in probabilities assigned \u0000to both \"survival of all\" and \"mixed default/survival\" events. Moreover, the classes of distributions for which probabilities from the \"terminal one-shot\" and \u0000\"terminal iterated\" distribution coincide are derived for problems considering \"survival-of-all\" events as well as \"mixed default/survival\" events. For the former problem, distributions must fulfill a lack-of-memory type property, which is, e.g., fulfilled by min-stable-multivariate exponential distributions. These correspond in a copula-framework to exponential margins coupled via extreme \u0000value copulas. For the latter problem, while looping default inspired Freund distributions and more generally-phase type distributions could be a solution, under practically relevant and reasonable additional assumptions on portfolio rebalancing and nested distributions, the unique solution is the Marshall-Olkin class.","PeriodicalId":128926,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Insurance, Risk- and Asset Management","volume":"520 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123076858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
