It has turned out that, on a risk-adjusted basis, investing in DAXplus Covered Call Certificates was preferable to any direct investment in the DAX in the period under review. One of the reasons justifying this conclusion has been that the implied volatilities of DAX-based call options were too high compared with the historical volatilities and have resulted in excessive option premiums. We have also analysed the implications of several moneynesses and residual lifetimes of certificates for the risk-yield profile of covered call strategies and of the DAX. The DAXplus Covered Call can, as distinct from other covered call strategies, legitimately claim to have experienced the most favourable development in the period under review. In conclusion, we have compared the DAXplus Covered Call with three covered call strategies based on international stock indices. Measured by the Stutzer index, the DAXplus Covered Call shows that its risk-adjusted performance has been best.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134089881","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}

In line with the legal framework, our analysis of savings banks in four federal states confirms that profitability and portfolio risk are important determinants of the savings banks’ payout decision. Heavily indebted municipalities and districts, however, might have a strong interest in the savings banks’ payouts to mitigate their financial distress. In fact, we find that the payout decision is also influenced by the public owners’ interest.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121871633","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}

Cross-border retail activities of banks now account for a substantial share of total international activities. Despite its rising importance, we are just starting to understand the role of crossborder retail banking for globalization and stability. In this study, we assess this less known part of financial globalization by reviewing the development and structure of cross-border banking, identifying the factors that drive retail customers across borders and assessing the impact of financial crises on global retail banking.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129675672","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}

According to the German insolvency law, lessors are allowed to access the leased asset quickly and dispose of it autonomously if the lessee encounters a default. In order to benefit from this advantage over creditors of collateralized bank loans, a reliable estimation of the LGD is of special importance for leasing companies. Using an extensive and unique data set from two major German leasing companies, we analyse the LGD of mobile lease contracts. The contribution of our paper is threefold: First, we extend the empirical evidence about the level and distribution of the LGD according to different asset types. Second, we investigate the impact of macroeconomic conditions on the aggregated LGD and propose a method how leasing companies can determine a downturn LGD for their internal risk control. Third, we address the phenomenon that contracts can “‘resurrect’” from default after some time of financial distress, which has been neglected in academic research so far. Our results suggest that the level of the LGD varies considerably depending on the asset type and that the empirical LGD distribution can be characterized by a bimodal shape. Concerning the impact of the macro-economy on the LGD, we could identify a significant relationship for vehicle leases only. Regarding the resurrection rate, we found empirical evidence for a cyclical variability in all asset categories. On the whole, the findings of our study provide useful insights for the internal credit risk management of leasing companies.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127799869","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}

They also represented the most successful financing instrument of German tramp ship-owners in the past. In spite of their great importance for the economy overall, closed-end ship funds have attracted comparatively little attention in the academic literature. The primary reason is the lack of a representative performance index, which would allow to incorporate this asset class into the framework of modern portfolio theory. We construct a performance index using a database of more than 300 German closedend ship funds during the sample period from December 1996 to December 2007. Moreover, we examine the risk-return characteristics of closed-end ship funds and compare them with other major asset classes.","PeriodicalId":280048,"journal":{"name":"Kredit Und Kapital","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117036892","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}
