We consider a simple investment problem where besides stocks and bonds the investor can also include options (or structured products) into the investment portfolio. The aim of the investor is to maximize the expected return under a conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) constraint. Due to possible intermediate payments, we have to deal with a re-investment problem which turns the original one-period problem into a multi-period one. For solving this problem, an iterative scheme based on linear optimization is developed.

Calibration of stochastic models for interest rate derivatives Rainer, Martin (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) For the pricing of interest rate derivatives various stochastic interest rate models are used. The shape of such a model can take very different forms, such as direct modelling of the probability distribution (e.g. a generalized beta function of second kind), a short-rate model (e.g. a Hull-White model) or a forward rate model (e.g. a LIBOR market model). This article describes the general structure of optimization in the context of interest rate derivatives. Optimization in finance finds its particular app...
On dominance core and stable sets for cooperative ellipsoidal games ALPARSLAN GÖK, Sırma Zeynep; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2013-10-01) The allocation problem of rewards or costs is a central question for individuals and organizations contemplating cooperation under uncertainty. The involvement of uncertainty in cooperative games is motivated by the real world where noise in observation and experimental design, incomplete information and further vagueness in preference structures and decision-making play an important role. The theory of cooperative ellipsoidal games provides a new game theoretical angle and suitable tools for answering this...
Optimal pricing and ordering policy for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflation and customer returns Ghoreishi, M.; Mirzazadeh, A.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01) This paper deals with an economic production quantity inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflationary conditions considering customer returns. We adopt a price-and time-dependent demand function. Also, the customer returns are considered as a function of both price and demand. The effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The main objective is to determine the optimal selling price, the optimal replenishment cycles, and the optimal produ...
Analysis of volatility feedback and leverage effects on the ISE30 index using high frequency data Inkaya, A.; Okur, Y. Yolcu (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-15) In this study, we employ the techniques of Malliavin calculus to analyze the volatility feedback and leverage effects for a better understanding of financial market dynamics. We estimate both effects for a general semimartingale model applying Fourier analysis developed in Malliavin and Mancino (2002) [10]. We further investigate their joint behaviour using 5 min data of the ISE30 index. On the basis of these estimations, we look for the evidence that volatility feedback effect rate can be employed in the s...
On the correlation of the supremum and the infimum and of maximum gain and maximum loss of Brownian motion with drift Vardar Acar, Ceren; Szekely, Gabor J. (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-15) Investors are naturally interested in the supremum and the infimum of stock prices, also in the maximum gain and the maximum loss over a time period. To shed light on these relatively complicated aspects of sample paths, we consider Brownian motion with and without drift. We provide explicit calculations of the correlation between the supremum and the infimum of Brownian motion with drift. We establish a number of results concerning the distributions of maximum gain and maximum loss. We present simulation s...
