Speaker: Prof Eduardo César Garrido Merchán, Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences, Comillas Universidad Pontificia Abstract: Financial experts and analysts seek to predict the variability of financial markets. In particular, the correct prediction of this variability ensures investors successful investments. However, there has been a big trend in finance in the last years, which are […]
Speaker: Prof. Dominykas Norgilas, Department of Mathematics, North Carolina State University Abstract: We explicitly construct the supermartingale version of the Fréchet-Hoeffding coupling in the setting with infinitely many marginal constraints. This extends the results of Henry-Labordere et al. obtained in the martingale setting. Our construction is based on the Markovian iteration of one-period optimal supermartingale […]
Speaker: Prof. Andrey Itkin, Department of Risk and Financial Engineering, Tandon School of Engineering, NYU Abstract: In this paper we propose a semi-analytic approach to pricing American options for some time-dependent jump-diffusions models. The idea of the method is to further generalize our approach developed for pricing barrier, , and American, , options in various […]
Speaker: Prof. Abderrahim Taamouti, Management School, University of Liverpool Abstract: The Sharpe-ratio-maximizing portfolio becomes questionable under non-Gaussian returns, and it rules out, by construction, systemic risk, which can negatively affect its out-of-sample performance. In the present work, we develop a new performance ratio that simultaneously addresses these two problems when building optimal portfolios. To robustify […]
Speaker: Prof. Peter Bank, Department of Mathematics, Technical University of Berlin Abstract: We consider the problem of hedging a European contingent claim in a Bachelier model with temporary price impact as proposed by Almgren and Chriss (J Risk 3:5–39, 2001). Following the approach of Rogers and Singh (Math Financ 20:597–615, 2010) and Naujokat and Westray […]
Speaker: Prof. Md. Rayfayet Alam, Dept. of Finance and Economics, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Abstract: This study evaluates the potential of gold-backed cryptocurrencies, such as Tether Gold and PAX Gold, as a hedge and safe haven against global, regional, and categorical financial stresses. Hedge and safe haven properties of gold-backed cryptocurrencies are also compared […]
Speaker: Dr. Evangelos Melas, Department of Mathematics, University of Thessaly Abstract: Under the recent negative interest rate situation, the Bachelier model has been attracting attention and adopted for evaluating the price of interest rate options. In this paper we find the Lie point symmetries of the Bachelier partial differential equation (PDE) and use them in […]
Speaker: Prof. Aaron YS Kim, College of Business, Stony Brook University Abstract: In this study, we discuss a machine learning technique to price exotic options with two underlying assets based on a non-Gaussian Levy process model. We introduce a new multivariate Levy process model named the generalized normal tempered stable (gNTS) process, which is defined […]

Rayfayet Alam, Dept. of Finance and Economics, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Abstract: This study evaluates the potential of gold-backed cryptocurrencies, such as Tether Gold and PAX Gold, as a hedge and safe haven against global, regional, and categorical financial stresses. Hedge and safe haven properties of gold-backed cryptocurrencies are also compared […]
Speaker: Prof. Ralf Korn, Dept. of Mathematics, RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau Abstract: Since August 2022 customers have to be asked if they are interested in sustainable investment when entering a pension contract. Hence, the provider has to be prepared to offer suitable investment opportunities. Further, the provider has to manage the new risks and chances of those […]
