Benth, Fred Espen; Khedher, Asma; Vanmaele, Michèle - In: Risks : open access journal 8 (2020) 1/8, pp. 1-32

Spot option prices, forwards and options on forwards relevant for the commodity markets are computed when the underlying process S is modelled as an exponential of a process xi with memory as, e.g., a Volterra equation driven by a Levy process. Moreover, the interest rate and a risk premium rho...

Effect of variance swap in hedging volatility risk

Shen, Yang - In: Risks : open access journal 8 (2020) 3/70, pp. 1-34

This paper studies the effect of variance swap in hedging volatility risk under the mean-variance criterion. We consider two mean-variance portfolio selection problems under Heston's stochastic volatility model. In the first problem, the financial market is complete and contains three primitive...

A credit-risk valuation under the variance-gamma asset return

Ivanov, Roman V. - In: Risks : open access journal 6 (2018) 2, pp. 1-25

This paper considers risks of the investment portfolio, which consist of distributed mortgages and sold European call options. It is assumed that the stream of the credit payments could fall by a jump. The time of the jump is modeled by the exponential distribution. We suggest that the returns...

Good-deal bounds for option prices under value-at-risk and expected shortfall constraints

Desmettre, Sascha; Laudagé, Christian; Sass, Jörn - In: Risks : open access journal 8 (2020) 4/114, pp. 1-22

In this paper, we deal with the pricing of European options in an incomplete market. We use the common risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall to define good-deals on a financial market with log-normally distributed rate of returns. We show that the pricing bounds obtained from the...
