This paper aims to distribute the risk among equity risk, interest rate risk and inflation risk, in a portfolio to prevent a risk concentrated portfolio by employing diversified risk parity (DRP) strategy. Principal component analysis and minimum linear torsion models are used to obtain DRP strategies which are compared with other risk based models and tested on five different asset classes whose prices are collected between January 1988 and December 2017. For attaining a thorough analysis, we include mean- variance optimization whose results are compared with both risk-based and DRP strategies in the out-of- sample testing using Sharpe ratio and uncorrelated risk factors. The results demonstrate that DRP strategies have better performance than other models. Specifically, DRP based on the minimum linear torsion model yields the highest Sharpe and risk diversification ratios. Thus, this strategy may guide the investors to construct risk diversified portfolios, especially, during financial crises.

Risk measurement, management and option pricing via a new log-normal sum approximation method
Zeytun, Serkan; Uğur, Ömür; Korn, Ralf; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012)
In this thesis we mainly focused on the usage of the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) in risk management and on the pricing of the arithmetic average basket and Asian options in the Black-Scholes framework via a new log-normal sum approximation method. Firstly, we worked on the linearization procedure of the CVaR proposed by Rockafellar and Uryasev. We constructed an optimization problem with the objective of maximizing the expected return under a CVaR constraint. Due to possible intermediate payments we as...
Incorporating sustainability in risk assessment of construction projects
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2017-11-27)
There are standard procedures proposed for risk management (RM) such as “ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management Principles and Guidelines” that provides principles, framework and a process for managing risk. However, RM is still among the most popular research topics in project management domain as there is a lack of consensus on the definition of risk as well as the contextual factors affecting its level. Many authors argue that although complexity, vulnerability, uncertai...
Optimal portfolio strategies under various risk measures
Meral, Alev; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2013)
In this thesis, we search for optimal portfolio strategies in the presence of various risk measure that are common in financial applications. Particularly, we deal with the static optimization problem with respect to Value at Risk, Expected Loss and Expected Utility Loss measures. To do so, under the Black-Scholes model for the financial market, Martingale method is applied to give closed-form solutions for the optimal terminal wealths, then via representation problem the optimal portfolio strategies are ac...
ASSESSMENT OF SUPPLIER RISK FOR COPPER PROCUREMENT
Buzdogan-Lindenmayr, Ezgi; Kara, Guray; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2019-01-01)
Procurement risk management (PRM) requires a good understanding and assessment of all potential risks. As the procurement industry mostly functions globally and the supply-demand chain forms a dependency structure among all interested parties, the quantification of risks related to the suppliers gain importance. This study presents a systematic PRM to evaluate and quantify the risks of a commodity associated to its suppliers. The probabilistic set up using total probability theorem on the information collec...
Stability advances in robust portfolio optimization under parallelepiped uncertainty
Kara, Guray; Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2019-03-01)
In financial markets with high uncertainties, the trade-off between maximizing expected return and minimizing the risk is one of the main challenges in modeling and decision making. Since investors mostly shape their invested amounts towards certain assets and their risk aversion level according to their returns, scientists and practitioners have done studies on that subject since the beginning of the stock markets' establishment. In this study, we model a Robust Optimization problem based on data. We found...
