The derivation of the bi-variate Payoff Distribution model by Kat and Palaro (2005) represents an interesting contribution to the performance evaluation and asset pricing literature. Nonetheless, their approach for evaluating the function is significantly flawed. Recently, Papageorgiou et al....

In this paper, we present a new alternative performance measure (APM) which evaluates not only for the marginal distribution of a given fund but also its' dependence (correlation) with a reference portfolio. This performance measure is of particular value in assessing hedge fund return as the...

This paper conducts an empirical analysis with regard to those methodologies proposed by the Basle Committee for the estimation of the operational capital charge. More specifically, we compare an advanced measurement approach, as the Loss Distribution Approach (LDA), versus the so called...

The goal of integrated risk management in a financial institution is to measure and manage risk and capital across a range of diverse business activities. This requires an approach for aggregating risk types (market, credit, and operational) whose distributional shapes vary considerably. In this...

In financial groups, enterprise risk management is becoming increasingly important in controlling and managing the different independent legal entities in the group. The aim of this paper is to assess and relate risk concentration and joint default probabilities of the group's legal entities in...

A flexible framework for the analysis of tail events is proposed. The framework contains tail moment measures that allow for Expected Shortfall (ES) estimation. Connecting the implied tail thickness of a family of distributions with the quantile and expectile estimation, a platform for risk...

Spanish Abstract: Esta investigación tiene como propósito implementar la metodología de regresión cuantil bayesiana en el cálculo del valor en riesgo (VaR, en inglés) en el mercado de valores colombiano. Para este objetivo se valoran algunos requerimientos regulatorios sobre riesgo de...

In this paper, we implement a multi-variate extension of Dybvig (1988) Payoff Distribution Model that can be used to replicate not only the marginal distribution of most hedge fund returns but also their dependence with other asset classes. In addition to proposing ways to overcome the hedging...

Distributions for returns are used to compute the capital charge for portfolios in investment banks. The mainstream definition of returns is based on closing prices and neglects the important effects of intraday trading activity on the losses. In this paper we introduce quot;minimal...
