We propose a new class of mappings, called Dynamic Limit Growth Indices, that are designed to measure the long-run performance of a financial portfolio in discrete time setup. We study various important properties for this new class of measures, and in particular, we provide necessary and...

It is shown that the the popular least squares method of option pricing converges even if the underlying is non-Markovian, the pay-offs are path dependent and with a very flexible setup for approximation of conditional expectations. The main benefit is the increase of freedom in creating...

In this paper we provide a mathematical illustration to an empirical fuzzy phenomena known as 20-60-20 rule. In particular we show that if a random vector follows multivariate normal distribution and we split the whole population into three groups, then this fixed ratio leads to a global...

In this paper we provide a unified and flexible framework for study of the time consistency of risk and performance measures. The proposed framework integrates existing forms of time consistency as well as various connections between them. In our approach the time consistency is studied for a...

We investigate default-free bond markets where the standard relationship between a possibly existing bank account process and the term structure of bond prices is broken, i.e. the bank account process is not a valid num\'eraire. We argue that this feature is not the exception but rather the rule...

The two main approaches in credit risk are the structural approach pioneered in Merton (1974) and the reduced-form framework proposed in Jarrow & Turnbull (1995) and in Artzner & Delbaen (1995). The goal of this article is to provide a unified view on both approaches. This is achieved by...

This paper considers general term structure models like the ones appearing in portfolio credit risk modelling or life insurance. We give a general model starting from families of forward rates driven by infinitely many Brownian motions and an integer-valued random measure, generalizing existing...

This paper considers the modelling of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). We propose a top-down model via forward rates generalizing Filipovi\'c, Overbeck and Schmidt (2009) to the case where the forward rates are driven by a finite dimensional L\'evy process. The contribution of this work...

The goal of this paper is to specify dynamic term structure models with discrete tenor structure for credit portfolios in a top-down setting driven by time-inhomogeneous L\'evy processes. We provide a new framework, conditions for absence of arbitrage, explicit examples, an affine setup which...
