Die folgende Arbeit leitet ein hierfur geeignetes und einfach zu handhabendes Portfoliomodell ab. Damit konnen die Auswirkungen fallender Kurse des Marktes in einem optimierten Portfoliomix eliminiert werden. Die These von der Nicht-Diversifizierbarkeit des systematischen Risikos scheint insoweit relativiert.English Abstract: The possibility to minimize volatility of the systematic risk while maximizing returns, is the use of an optimized buy long/sell short strategy that takes into account, that the market model is kinky. The equation of the market model – including a beta plus for increasing markets and a beta minus for descending markets – seems to be more qualified for this reason. The following approach shows the derivation of equations for an optimal configuration of a mix of stocks. These equations and some examples and figures of optimized portfolios – including some tests of significance – support strategies for investments in leveraged portfolios also. The approach seems to modify the meaning of \"nondiversifiable-risk\" of the market risk.","PeriodicalId":139826,"journal":{"name":"SWIFT Institute Research Paper Series","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127631307","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}

Banks are profit optimizing agents subject to random liquidity shocks and can engage in costly counterparty search to find suitable trading partners and peer monitoring to reduce counterparty risk uncertainty. The structural parameters are estimated by indirect inference using appropriate network statistics of the Dutch interbank market. The estimated model is shown to explain accurately important dynamic features of the interbank market network. In particular, monitoring of counterparty risk and directed search are shown to be key factors in the formation of interbank trading relationships that are associated with improved credit conditions. Finally, the model is used to filter the optimal search and monitoring expenditures in the network and to analyze optimal network responses to changes in the policy of the central bank.","PeriodicalId":139826,"journal":{"name":"SWIFT Institute Research Paper Series","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115072260","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}

With continued quantitative easing (QE) by some central banks, price signals from the repo market indicate a shortage of good collateral. This paper focuses on the collateral demand in the OTC derivatives market as they move to central counterparties (CCPs) and suggests alternatives on how to reduce risk in this market. The proposed route of removing OTC derivatives from banks books creates new SIFIs, destroys the economics of netting on the books of the banks, silo(s) collateral and decreases collateral velocity, and increases the interconnectedness of the financial system. Alternately, if every user of OTC derivatives contributed their share of margin(s) when using OTC derivatives (relative to the proposed bifurcated “clearing” and “non-cleared” worlds including legacy trades that will not clear), the risk from derivatives at SIFIs would be eliminated. There would be no need for CCPs.","PeriodicalId":139826,"journal":{"name":"SWIFT Institute Research Paper Series","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129055280","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}

The stock selection for investment portfolio which relies on the Fundamental Analysis have higher success rate than the models relying on Technical Analysis is the common view. Fundamental research focuses on identifying and analyzing the factors that influence security prices whereas technical analysis is concerned with analyzing market behavior. Given the sharp differences, it is often seen independent of each other and practitioners tend to favor one over the other but small group applies both. This research investigates the agreement in Stock selection following both styles on universe of Nifty Stocks. Fifty Investor participants took part in personal/group discussions, of their Stock selection style; for their portfolio in the cities of Vapi, Valsad, Vadodara and Ahmedabad.

This weakness was exploited in 26/11 attacks in Mumbai. Since then a number of changes has been implemented to make the coast line more secure. Major part of the improvement has been done by foreign contractors at exorbitant cost. Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have been used for this purpose but at inflated prices as they are imported as complete built-up units. Through this paper me and my colleague (Harsh Shah) have explained the technical considerations of building an ROV and the subsequent economic consideration. A detailed budget table has been listed to justify our claim. Thus we, propose the fabrication of underwater ROVs in India itself in cost effective manner.","PeriodicalId":139826,"journal":{"name":"SWIFT Institute Research Paper Series","volume":"301 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127013719","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}
