1. 11. Backtesting Expected Shortfall : A qualitative study for central counterparty clearing

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

   Author : Emil Berglund; Albin Markgren; [2022]
   Keywords : Expected Shortfall; Value-at-Risk; Initial Margin; Backtesting; Central Counterparty Clearing;

   Abstract : Within Central Counterparty Clearing, the Clearing House collects Initial Margin from its Clearing Members. The Initial Margin can be calculated in many ways, one of which is by applying the commonly used risk measure Value-at-Risk. However, Value-at-Risk has one major flaw, namely its inability to encapsulate Tail Risk. READ MORE

3. 12. Modelling of Capital Requirements using LSTM and A-SA in CRR 3

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : William Gan; [2022]
   Keywords : Capital Requirements; machine learning; neural networks; financial mathematics; risk management; CRR 3; FRTB; Kapitalkrav; maskininlärning; neurala nätverk; finansiell matematik; riskhantering; CRR 3; FRTB;

   Abstract : In response to the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, a handful of measures were taken to increase the resilience toward a similar disaster in the future. Global financial regulatory entities implemented several new directives with the intention to enhance global capital markets, leading to regulatory frameworks where financial participants (FPs) are regulated with own fund's requirements for market risks.

4. 13. Risk measurement of cryptocurrencies using value at risk and expected shortfall

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Van Cao Thi Hong; [2022]
   Keywords : cryptocurrencies; value at risk; expected shortfall; risk measurement; parametric methods; non-parametric methods; EWMA; GARCH; EGARCH; GJRGARCH; backtesting; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and risky assets, therefore, it is of vital importance to find an appropriate model for risk measurement. This thesis compares three parametric and three non-parametric estimation methods to estimate the value at risk and the expected shortfall of five cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance coin (BNB), Ripple coin (XRP), and Cardano (ADA).

5. 14. Forecasting Exchange Rate Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall: A GARCH-EVT Approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Christoffer Titov; [2022]
   Keywords : GARCH; Extreme Value Theory; Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Exchange Rate Volatility; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the accuracy of Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall forecasts of various GARCH-type models based on five currency exchange rate pairs. The GARCH models are employed under different conditional distributional assumptions, and extended using the two-stage Extreme Value Theory (EVT) approach of McNeil and Frey (2000). READ MORE

6. 15. Applying Peaks-Over-Threshold for Increasing the Speed of Convergence of a Monte Carlo Simulation

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Eric Jakobsson; Thor Åhlgren; [2022]
   Keywords : Monte Carlo Simulation; Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Peaks- Over-Threshold; Life Insurances; Generalized Pareto Distribution; Extreme-Value-Theory; Monte Carlo Simulation; Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Peaks-Over-Threshold; Livförsäkringar; Generalized Pareto Fördelning; Extremvärdesteori;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates applying the semiparametric method Peaks-Over-Threshold on data generated from a Monte Carlo simulation when estimating the financial risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. The goal is to achieve a faster convergence than a Monte Carlo simulation when assessing extreme events that symbolise the worst outcomes of a financial portfolio. READ MORE
