This paper categorizes investors into five groups. They are: efficient markets, risk premium, genius superior traders, rejectors of efficient market theory and those who use research to make superior risk adjusted returns. Successful investment involves estimation and optimization and these are...

In this article, the author presents a model of distributional properties of returns on financial instruments tied to ETFs via high-frequency statistical arbitrage. As the author's model shows, the securities subject to an ETF arbitrage exhibit a well-defined behavior, largely dependent on the...

We consider a large trader liquidating a portfolio using a transparent trading venue with price impact and a dark pool with execution uncertainty. The optimal execution strategy uses both venues continuously, with dark pool orders over-/underrepresenting the portfolio size depending on adverse...

In this paper, we derive optimal hedging strategies for options in electricity futures markets. Optimality is measured in terms of minimal variance and the associated minimal variance hedging portfolios are obtained by a stochastic maximum principle. Our explicit results are particularly useful...

In this paper, we investigate the following problem: How can a financial institution, which has sold an option to a client, optimally hedge the payoff of this option by investing into a stock and into the option itself? Optimality is measured in terms of minimal variance and the associated...

This paper addresses the following question: How can a financial institution, which has issued a European option, optimally hedge the payoff of this option by investing into the underlying stock and into the option itself? Here, optimality is measured in terms of minimal variance and the...

This study provides an overview of the model evolution and research trends in the field of financial and risk modelling by applying a bibliometric approach from 2008–2019 and an overall citation network analysis. We present a content analysis of contributing authors, countries, journals, main...

In this paper, we apply stochastic maximum principles to derive representations for exponential utility indifference prices. We also obtain the related optimal portfolio processes and utility indifference hedging strategies. To illustrate our theoretical results, we present several concrete...

This paper presents a tractable model of non-linear dynamics of market returns using a Langevin approach.Due to non-linearity of an interaction potential, the model admits regimes of both small and large return fluctuations. Langevin dynamics are mapped onto an equivalent quantum mechanical (QM)...
