Portfolio insurance strategies are designed to protect investors against adverse market movements by providing an initially specified guarantee during the investment period. This kind of a protection mechanism is especially important for systems with long investment horizons such as pension plans. In this paper, we consider various versions of the Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) method under discrete-time trading for a defined-contribution pension plan that includes regular contributions of random size dependent on a stochastic income process. We compare different floor processes for the CPPI with regard to gap-risk and cash-lock probability by computing respective risk measures.

Constant proportion portfolio insurance in defined contribution pension plan management TEMOÇİN, BÜŞRA ZEYNEP; Korn, Ralf; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2018-07-01) We consider the optimal portfolio problem with minimum guarantee protection in a defined contribution pension scheme. We compare various versions of guarantee concepts in a labor income coupled CPPI-framework with random future labor income. Besides classical deterministic guarantees we also introduce path-dependent guarantees. To ensure that there is no bias in the comparison, we obtain the optimal CPPI-multiplier for each guarantee framework via using a classical stochastic control approach.
Constant proportion portfolio insurance in defined-contribution pension plan management Temoçin, Büşra Zeynep; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Korn, Ralf; Department of Financial Mathematics (2015) In this thesis, various portfolio insurance strategies are designed and proposed for portfolio management of defined-contribution type pension plans. These type of plans consist of consecutive and defined premium payments which are invested in financial markets and lead to a benefit that will be collected at the retirement. Since the beneficiary faces all of the financial risk throughout the plan, a capital protection mechanism is needed in such retirement systems. The main contribution of the present resea...
Empirical comparison of portfolio risk diversification algorithms Yerli, Çiğdem; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Schindler, Nilüfer; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018) The enhanced correlations during global ﬁnancial crisis has revealed that simple asset allocation portfolios prove to be not well-diversiﬁed across different risk factors, which makes the risk based asset allocation strategies popular. However, the strategies still construct the risk concentrated portfolios due to the correlation among the asset classes. As a result, risk allocation among uncorrelated risk factors instead of risk allocation among asset classes have become widely used. This thesis aims to di...
Uncertainty assessment for the evaluation of net present value: a mining industry perspective Erdem, Özge; Demirel, Nuray (2012-05-01) The investment decisionmaking process in the insurance and finance industries is affected by new advances such as simulation techniques. These advances have improved the discounted cash flow method (DCF). In DCF, a dynamic and flexible model construction is not possible because it does not consider uncertain conditions. Each project should be evaluated taking into account the related uncertainties because the related uncertainties determine the characterization of the project. Related uncertainties can be p...
Financial CDS, stock market and interest rates: Which drives which? Hammoudeh, Shawkat; Sarı, Ramazan (2011-12-01) The objective is to examine the short- and long-run dynamics of US financial CDS index spreads at the sector level and explore their relationships with the stock market and the short- and long-run government securities, paying particular attention to the subperiod that begins with the 2007 Great Recession. We use daily time series for the three US five-year CDS index spreads for banking, financial services and insurance sectors, the S&P 500 index, the short- and long-term Treasury securities rates. Employin...
