  1. 1. An Attempt at Pricing Zero-Coupon Bonds under the Vasicek Model with a Mean Reverting Stochastic Volatility Factor

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Benjamin Neander; Victor Mattson; [2023]
    Keywords : Zero-coupon bond; Vasicek model; Two-factor interest rate model; Stochastic volatility.; Nollkupongobligation; Vasicek model; Räntemodell med två faktorer; Stokastisk volatilitet.;

    Abstract : Empirical evidence indicates that the volatility in asset prices is not constant, but varies over time. However, many simple models for asset pricing rest on an assumption of constancy. READ MORE

  3. 2. Credit Index Forecasting: Stability of an Autoregressive Model

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Melker Wallén; Erik Grimlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Credit spreads; Time Series; Credit Risk; Index Modeling; Forecasting; Kreditspreadar; Tidsserier; Kreditrisk; Indexmodellering; Prognoser;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the robustness and stability of total return series for credit bond index investments. Dueto the challenges which arise for financial institutes and investors in achieving these objectives, we aim to createa forecasting model which matches the statistical properties of historical data, while remaining robust, stable andeasy to calibrate.

  4. 3. Modelling Non-Maturing Deposits: Examining the Impact of Repo Rates and Volume Dynamics on Valuation Using Regression, Time Series Analysis, and Vasicek Methods

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Alexandra Benckert; My Loft; [2023]
    Keywords : Non-maturing deposits; ARIMAX model; Regression analysis; Deposit volume modelling; Vasicek model for short rate; Interest rate sensitivity; Valuation of non-maturing deposits.; Icke tidsbunden inlåning; ARIMAX-modellen; Regressionsanalys; Modellering av inlåningsvolym; Vasicek-modellen för kort ränta; Räntekänslighet; Värdering av icke tidsbunden inlåning.;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on modelling non-maturing deposits (NMD) and has been written in collaboration with Svenska Handelsbanken. The methodology includes regression analysis and time series analysis, with the Repo rate serving as an exogenous variable in both models. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optimal Capital Structures under the Vasicek Stochastic Interest Rate Model

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Oscar Danielson; Tom Hagéus; [2023]
    Keywords : Vasicek model; stochastic interest rate model; optimal capital structures; tax benefits; bankruptcy costs; transaction costs; optimal leverage ratio; optimal debt maturity; Vasicekmodell; stokastisk räntemodell; optimala kapitalstrukturer; skattefördelar; konkurskostnader; transaktionskostnader; optimal belåningsgrad; optimal löptid;

    Abstract : This study applies the Vasicek stochastic interest rate model in order to determine optimal capital structures for listed firms. A Swedish interest rate data set is used to estimate Vasicek model parameter that are reliable and independent of initial start values. READ MORE

  6. 5. Financial Modelling Using Fractional Processes And The Wiener Chaos Expansion

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Olof Hummelgren; [2022]
    Keywords : fractional Brownian motion; fBM; applied mathematics; Wiener chaos expansion; Wick product; Hurst parameter; fraktionell Brownsk rörelse; tillämpad matematik; Wiener kaosexpansion; Wickprodukt; Hurstparameter;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to simulate stochastic models that are driven by a fractional Brownian motion process and to apply these methods to financial applications related to yield rate and asset price modelling. Several rough volatility processes are used to model the asset price and yield dynamics. READ MORE
