  1. 1. Comply or Die: A Study of ESG Factor Returns and Volatility in the Nordic Countries from 2016 to 2022

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Jean-Philippe Chakbazof; Amitesh Raghav; [2023]
    Keywords : ESG Factor; Nordic Compass; Fama Macbeth; Volatility Management; ESG Portfolio;

    Abstract : Using corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting data from 611 publicly traded firms in the Swedish House of Finance's Nordic Compass database, we estimate stock return and volatility exposures to an ESG factor during the period 2016-2022 in the Nordics. Using a Fama-Macbeth methodology, we find that during this time in the Nordic Countries exposure to an ESG factor is compensated with a risk premium and a volatility reduction in a Fama French 4 Factor model.

  3. 2. Multi-factor approximation : An analysis and comparison ofMichael Pykhtin's paper “Multifactor adjustment”

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

    Author : Michael Zanetti; Philip Güzel; [2023]
    Keywords : Credit risk; Value at Risk; Expected Shortfall; Monte Carlo simulation; Advanced Internal Rantings-Based models; Kreditrisk; Value at Risk; Expected Shortfall; Monte Carlo simulation; Advanced Internal Rantings-Based-modeller;

    Abstract : The need to account for potential losses in rare events is of utmost importance for corporations operating in the financial sector. Common measurements for potential losses are Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall. These are measures of which the computation typically requires immense Monte Carlo simulations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Measurement of sectoral concentration with multiple factors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Victor Norrbin; [2022]
    Keywords : Concentration risk; Sector concentration; Credit risk; Time series analysis; Principal component analysis; Monte carlo simulation; Multi-factor model;

    Abstract : One of banks core businesses today is to, in various ways, lend capital to the market and in return receive interest rate. But giving out credit comes with great risk and, therefore, precautions need to be taken. It is impossible to forecast exactly which obligor (borrower) that will default on its exposure. READ MORE

  5. 4. Neural Networks for Credit Risk and xVA in a Front Office Pricing Environment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Isabelle Frodé; Viktor Sambergs; [2022]
    Keywords : xVA; CVA; OTC; Counterparty Credit Risk; Interest Rate Swaps; Hull-White Model; Machine Learning; Artificial Neural Networks; Gated Recurrent Units; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : We present a data-driven proof of concept model capable of reproducing expected counterparty credit exposures from market and trade data. The model has its greatest advantages in quick single-contract exposure evaluations that could be used in front office xVA solutions. The data was generated using short rates from the Hull-White One-Factor model. READ MORE

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Johanna Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The great pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis is considered a sensitive species to environmentalpollution and is used in ecotoxicology testing. The snail is naturally found in the environment inthe Holarctic realm in Europe, northern America and Asia but also in some parts of Australia. READ MORE
