Abstract:

MBA Professional Report<br>Navy leadership is searching for ways to finance urgent fleet recapitalization despite severely limited resources. This study exposes the enormity of the recapitalization challenge using budget forecasting and ratio analysis to frame potential trade-offs among major Navy appropriations that would achieve programmed procurement targets. We illustrate the organizational and operational challenges associated with even small tradeoffs and also examine the increasingly common practice of competitive sourcing using private-sector risk criteria popularized in business liter

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to provide evidence on the efficiency of the stock options market of the European Options Exchange. `Riskless' spreading and hedging strategies using the Black-Scholes call option pricing model with the Merton dividend adjustment, are used to test market efficiency. The results show that, although for the zero transactions costs case above-normal returns are possible, these returns become negative when the bid-ask spread cost is taken into account. These results persist over the two sample periods studied. Two variations of the trading rule that compute model pri

Analysis consists of investigating biasedness and heteroscedasticity properties by complementing the Black-Scholes model with GARCH(1,1) method based on maximum likelihood estimations.

Abstract:

This thesis is made up of three essays that explore the informational content of index and individual equity option prices. In the first essay, we investigate the pricing of systematic variance risk in the equity options market. Cross sectional tests on synthetic variance swap returns reveal no evidence of a negative market variance risk premium. Furthermore, we show that a class of linear factor models cannot simultaneously explain index and equity option prices. In particular, equity options appear to be underpriced relative to index options. To exploit the mispricing, we analyze an investme

Abstract:

It is often a goal of the risk management of a portfolio of interest rate sensitive instruments to minimize the impact of movements in market rates on the value of the portfolio. This can be done by considering the sensitivity of the portfolio to each of the market rates that are used to bootstrap a yield curve. However, this is likely to lead to an excessive amount of trading due to an investment in a large number of hedging securities. As an alternative, we consider using principal components analysis (PCA) to condense most of the variability in the market rates into a much smaller number of

Both models are calibrated to real market data and then used to price basket options, where the underlyings are the constituents of the KBW Bank Index. Two pricing methods

Abstract:

A method to price American options under a stochastic volatility framework is introduced which is based on Rambharat and Brockwell (2010). We price American options under the Heston and Bates stochastic volatility models where volatility is assumed to be a latent process. The pricing algorithm is based on the least-squares Monte Carlo approach made popular by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001). Information about the volatility of the underlying asset is used to assist in solving the pricing problem. Since volatility is assumed to be a latent, a particle filter is used to estimate the filtering dist

The object of this thesis is the study of some new financial models. The common feature is that they all involve optimal decisions. Some of the decisions take the form of a control and we enter the theory of stochastic optimal control and of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations. Other decisions are "binary" and we deal with the theory of optimal stopping and free boundary problems. Throughout the thesis we will prefer a heuristic and intuitive approach to a too technical one which could hide the underlying ideas.

One of the main factors in pricing barrier options is deciding whether to monitor the underlying asset price in continuous time or for a fixed set of time points. Most actively traded barrier options are monitored in discrete time due to reasons such as regulation and practical implementation.

Single-barrier knock-out options are evaluated under the Black-Scholes framework, the normal inverse Gaussian model and the Variance Gamma model. These models are widely imple

The aim of this thesis is to study multi-asset barrier options, where the volatilities of the stocks are assumed to define a matrix-valued bounded stochastic process.

As the volatilities are not known exactly, the value of the option can not be determined. Nevertheless, it is possible to calculate extreme values. We show that these values correspond to the best and the worst case scenarios of the future volatilities for short positions and long positions in the portfolio of the op

This dissertation analyses ex-ante asymmetric performance fee structures used by South African Mutual Funds and estimates performance fees some time before the fees are paid.

The data consist of monthly benchmark and fund gross returns from December 1999 to October 2014. The theoretical value of ex-ante performance fees is a function of spread volatility, therefore high spread volatilities give rise to high ex-ante performance fees. Ex-ante performance fe
