Deutsche Börse AG Closes Financial Year 2015 With Significant Increases In Net Revenue And Profit

0
0

Deutsche Börse AG published its preliminary results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2015 on Wednesday. The company generated net revenue of €2,367.4 million for the full year, a year-on-year increase of 16 per cent (2014: €2,047.8 million). Deutsche Börse thus posted the highest net revenue figure since the financial crisis, and has overcome the impact of the crisis. At €1,248.8 million, adjusted operating costs were higher than in the previous year (2014: €1,068.8 million), primarily due to consolidation and exchange rate effects, as well as higher remuneration expenses reflecting the positive share price performance. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to €1,124.0 million (2014: €987.6 million). Basic earnings per share, adjusted for non-recurring effects, were €4.14, up 14 per cent year-on-year (2014: €3.63).

Alpha-CIR Model with Branching Processes in Sovereign Interest Rate Modelling. (arXiv:1602.05541v1 [q-fin.CP])

0
0

We introduce a class of interest rate models, called the $\alpha$-CIR model, which gives a natural extension of the standard CIR model by adopting the $\alpha$-stable L{\'e}vy process and preserving the branching property. This model allows to describe in a unified and parsimonious way several recent observations on the sovereign bond market such as the persistency of low interest rate together with the presence of large jumps at local extent. We emphasize on a general integral representation of the model by using random fields, with which we establish the link to the CBI processes and the affine models. Finally we analyze the jump behaviors and in particular the large jumps, and we provide numerical illustrations.

Do co-jumps impact correlations in currency markets?. (arXiv:1602.05489v1 [q-fin.ST])

0
0

We study how co-jumps influence covariance and correlation in currency markets. We propose a new wavelet-based estimator of quadratic covariation that is able to disentangle the continuous part of quadratic covariation from co-jumps. The proposed estimator is able to identify the statistically significant co-jumps that impact covariance structures by using bootstrapped test statistics. Empirical findings reveal the behavior of co-jumps during Asian, European and U.S. trading sessions. Our results show that the impact of co-jumps on correlations increased during the years 2012 - 2015. Hence appropriately estimating co-jumps is becoming a crucial step in understanding dependence in currency markets.

Robust Mean-Variance Hedging via G-Expectation. (arXiv:1602.05484v1 [q-fin.MF])

0
0

In this paper we study mean-variance hedging under the G-expectation framework. Our analysis is carried out by exploiting the G-martingale representation theorem and the related probabilistic tools, in a contin- uous financial market with two assets, where the discounted risky one is modeled as a symmetric G-martingale. By tackling progressively larger classes of contingent claims, we are able to explicitly compute the optimal strategy under general assumptions on the form of the contingent claim.

Is comonotonicity a good property for risk measures?. (arXiv:1602.05477v1 [q-fin.RM])

0
0

We study comonotonicity of regulatory risk measures in terms of the primitives of the theory of risk measures: acceptance sets and eligible assets. We show that comonotonicity cannot be characterized by the properties of the acceptance set alone and heavily depends on the choice of the eligible asset. In fact, in many important cases, comonotonicity is only compatible with risk-free eligible assets. These findings seem to call for a renewed discussion about the meaning and the role of comonotonicity within the theory of regulatory risk measures.

Robust Financial Bubbles. (arXiv:1602.05471v1 [q-fin.MF])

0
0

We study the concept of financial bubble in a market model endowed with a set of probability measures, typically mutually singular to each other. In this setting we introduce the notions of robust bubble and robust fundamental value in a consistent way with the existing literature in the case a unique prior exists. The notion of no dominance is also investigated under the uncertainty framework. Finally, we provide concrete examples illustrating our results.
