  1. 11. Risk Measurement and Performance Attribution for IRS Portfolios Using a Generalized Optimization Method for Term Structure Estimation

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktionsekonomi

    Author : Fredrik Gerdin Börjesson; Christoffer Eduards; [2021]
    Keywords : Interest rate measurement; term structures; multiple yield curves; principal component analysis; systematic risk; risk factors; term structure simulation; Latin hypercube sampling with dependence; risk measurement; value-at-risk; expected shortfall; interest rate swap; performance attribution;

    Abstract : With the substantial size of the interest rate markets, the importance of accurate pricing, risk measurement and performance attribution can not be understated. However, the models used on the markets often have underlying issues with capturing the market's fundamental behavior. READ MORE

  2. 12. Hierarchical Clustering in Risk-Based Portfolio Construction

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Natasha Nanakorn; Elin Palmgren; [2021]
    Keywords : Portfolio construction; asset allocation; risk-based asset allocation; hierarchical clustering; agglomerative clustering; hierarchical risk parity; risk; volatility; Portföljallokering; portföljhantering; portföljmetoder; riskbaserad portföljallokering; hierarkisk klustring; agglomerativ klustring; risk; volatilitet;

    Abstract : Following the global financial crisis, both risk-based and heuristic portfolio construction methods have received much attention from both academics and practitioners since these methods do not rely on the estimation of expected returns and as such are assumed to be more stable than Markowitz's traditional mean-variance portfolio. In 2016, Lopéz de Prado presented the Hierarchical Risk Parity (HRP), a new approach to portfolio construction which combines hierarchical clustering of assets with a heuristic risk-based allocation strategy in order to increase stability and improve out-of-sample performance.
