Historical-based approach란 어디서 사용되나? 그 안에서 크게 두가지로 나눈다면?

"Conditional distribution is estimated based on historical time series data." (1) Parametric approach - Requires specific assumptions regarding the asset return distribution (normal/log-normal, time-varying volatility) - 장점: data is more efficiently used. (샘플 가지고 모집단 추정하는거니까) (2) Non-parametric approach - Less restrictive (no assumptions of the asset returns distribution) -> 따라서 fat tails, skewness, other deviations 걱정할 필요 없음. - 예시: HS, MDE - 공통된 단점: large sample sizes required to precisely estimate.

Coherent risk measures란? 종류 4가지 대기

"범용성/일관성" 위한 위험척도 (1) Monotonicity - A PF with greater future returns will always have less risk. - R1 > R2, then ρ(R1) > ρ(R2) (2) Subadditivity (제일 중요) - The risk of a PF is at most equal to the risk of the assets within the RF. (분산효과) - ρ(R1+R2) ≤ ρ(R1) + ρ(R2) (3) Positive Homogeneity - 유동적 시장에 있다면 성립해야 하는 조건 - The size of a PF, β, will impact the size of its risk for all β>0. - ρ(βR) = βρ(R) (4) Translation invariance - PF risks relies on assets within the PF. - For all constants c(cash; 안전자산), ρ(c+R)=ρ(R)-c

GARCH model이란?

"장기평균이 있다고 가정하는 것" (EWMA는 이러지 않음) - 장점: it implicitly assume that variance tends to revert back to a 장기평균수준. - 특징: [w+α+β=1, α+β<1] for stability so that γ is not negative. *EWMA is nothing other than a special case of GARCH(1,1) with [w=0, α=(1-λ), β=λ].

Operational risk의 규제자본이 얼마나 필요한지 determine하는 4가지 방식은?

(1) Basic indicator approach (기초접근법) - 15% of the bank's 3년 평균 annual gross income (interest earned + non-interest income - interest paid) (2) Standardised approach (기초접근법보다 더 세분화) - 회사 내 business unit 고려 (총 8개; 캡처본 참고) - 어떤 BU인지에 따라 가중평균 시 weight이 다름. (3) Advanced measurement approach (AMA) *(1)&(2)과 다르게 개별 은행의 독자적인 운영위험 역사나 내부적 관리능력 감안 - Banks want to take advantage of the possible lower capital requirements. - Internal criteria (qualitative, quantitative) 활용 - 단, 특정 조건들을 만족시키는 은행들만 이 방식 활용 가능! (UL 추정할 수 있어야 함) - Loss distribution approach: [Regulatory capital = loss at 99.9% CL - expected operational loss] (4) Standardised measurement approach (SMA) *AMA의 문제: large variability among banks in calculating risk capital -> 그래서 바젤이 16년도에 SMA발표. - Business indicator (BI): 은행의 영업사이즈 (이자손익 말고도 trading losses & operational expenses 고려한다는 점에서 다른 접근들과 차별화.) - Loss component (LC; operational loss exposure): 이거로 은행의 "internal loss multiplier (ILM)" 계산 - [Regulatory capital = BI*ILM] *BI>LC : ILM<1 (통제 잘했다는 의미) *BI<LC : ILM>1 *BI=LC : ILM=1

(1) Assume the stock price is currently $80, the stock price annual up-move factor is 1.15, and the risk-free rate is 3.9%.

Operational risk의 data limitation 2가지는?

(1) Estimation procedures - Operational risk의 historical loss data는 현재 부적절해서, 기업들은 database 열심히 쌓는 중! - Operational risk 특성상 "Objective data + subjective decision"의 조합이 필요함 - Frequency는 internal data만, severity는 internal+external 둘 다 사용하는게 좋음! (2) Potential bias - Vendor data is less reliable (inherent reporting bias; severity 측정에는 유리) - 보통 loss data는 내부통제가 약한 기업의 것이기 때문에 자연적으로 빈도가 높음. 그래서 frequency 관련해서는 우리 회사 데이터 사용하는게 유리!

Total country risk를 evaluate 하는 행위의 한계점 3가지는?

(1) Not every component is relevant to all investors. (2) No standardisation across the information providers. (비교하기 어려움) (3) Scores are better used as rankings than as true scores.

(1) An investor owns 60,000 shares of ABC stock that is currently selling for $50. A call option on ABC with a strike price of $50 is selling at $4 and has a delta of 0.60. Determine the number of call options necessary to create a delta-neutral hedge. (2) Calculate the effect on PF value of a $1 increase in the price of ABC stock. (3) The price of the underlying stock has moved to $51, and the delta of the call option with a strike price of $50 has increased from 0.60 to 0.62. How would the investor's PF of stock and options have to be adjusted to maintain the delta-neutral position? (4) Again, a call option on ABC with a strike price of $50 is selling at $4 and has a delta of 0.60. Determine the number of put options necessary to create a delta-neutral hedge.

(1) Number of options needed to delta hedge = 60,000/0.60 = 100,000 options = 1,000 call option contracts ∴ Because he has longed the stock, he needs to short the options. (2) Value of the call option would decrease by $0.60 (delta 때문) ∴ The net impact of the price change would be 0 (캡처본 참고) (3) Number of options needed to delta hedge = 60,000/0.62 = 96,744 options = 968 call option contracts ∴ 32 option contracts would need to be purchased (long) to maintain the delta-neutral position. *캡처본의 "decrease in option position"이 [96,774*(-0.62)] = -60,000 으로 바뀔 것 (다른 값들 대입해도 같은 결과) (4) (Put delta = call delta - 1 = 0.60 - 1 = -0.40) Number of options needed to delta hedge = -60,000/-0.40 = 150,000 options = 1,500 put option contracts ∴ Because he has longed the stock, he needs to long the options.

What are the 5 challenges in quantifying credit risk?

(1) Regulators require that banks calculate "through-the-cyle" PD for the regulatory capital. - 이유: it removes the volatility of business cycles (while banks may prefer "point-in-time" PD for their internal purposes). (2) Economic downturn은 은행에게 "dual negative effect"를 미침. - Downturn 중에는 PD도 높아지는데 LGD 역시 높아짐. (3) Wrong-way risk - 장외파생의 기초자산은 내 exposure(가치)에도 영향을 주지만, 거래상대방의 부도율에도 영향. (4) 측정한 것과 실제 correlation은 다를 수 있음. (5) Credit risk 말고도 market/operation/liquidity/strategic risk 역시 규제자본에 영향 미침.

Sovereign credit risk) Foreign currency default과 local currency default는 ____ 발생한다. 4가지 이유는? (1) 따로 (2) 동시에

(2) 동시에 ===== 이유 ===== 1. Gold Reserves: 1971년 이전에 어떤 나라들은 "gold standard"를 따라서, 돈을 찍어내려면 금이 필요; low flexibility of printing currency to repay debt. 2. Currency union (e.g. EU): 공통된 currency를 활용하면 당연히 돈 찍어내는게 제한적일 수 밖에 없음... 특히 EU 같은 경우는 중앙은행들이 아니라 ECB가 화폐 발행! 3. Currency debasement: 돈 찍어내는 행위 may debase a local currency & incur inflation; 비용 발생

A (풀이: Because the coupon rate is less than the market interest rate, the bond is a discount bond and trades less than par.)

Which of the following reasons least likely explains local currency defaults? A. Countries may decide that the costs of higher inflation are less than the costs of default. B. Countries may decide that the costs of currency debasement are higher than the costs of default. C. Shared currencies like the euro make it difficult for countries to control their own monetary policy. D. Prior to 1971, the use of the gold standard prior made it more difficult for some countries to print money.

A (풀이: Countries may decide that the costs of higher inflation are higher than the costs of default.)

Fat-tailed asset return distributions are most likely the result of time-varying: A. volatility for the unconditional distribution. B. means for the unconditional distribution. C. volatility for the conditional distribution. D. means for the conditional distribution.

A 1-year American put option with an exercise price of $50 will be worth either $8 at maturity with a probability of 0.45 or $0 with a probability of 0.55. The current stock price is $45. The risk-free rate is 3%. The optimal strategy is to: A. exercise the option because the payoff from exercise exceeds the PV of the expected future payoff. B. not exercise the option because the payoff from exercise is less than the discounted present value of the future payoff. C. exercise the option because it is currently in the money. D. not exercise the option because it is currently out of money.

A The payoff from exercising the option = exercise price - current stock price = 50 - 45 = $5 vs. The discounted value of the expected future payoff = (캡처본) ∴ It is optimal to exercise the option early because it is worth more exercised ($5.00) than if not exercised ($3.49).

B. Identifying market regimes and conditional volatility increases the amount of usable data as well as the estimation error for historical simulations C. The full sample of data is not split into subgroups used to estimate conditional volatility. D. MDE requires a large amount of data that is directly related to the number of conditioning variables used in the model.

B 풀이: - The use of market regimes and identifying conditional means and volatility actually reduces - not increases - the amount of data from the full sample. - The full sample of data is split into subgroups used to estimate conditional volatility. - Therefore, the amount of data available for estimating future volatility is significantly reduced.

Which of the following statements regarding challenges in calculating credit risk capital for derivatives is least accurate? A. It is easier to calculate EAD for loans than derivatives. B. Netting arrangements simplify calculating credit risk capital for derivatives. C. Basel rules set EAD for derivatives as current exposure plus an add-on amount. D. For derivatives with netting arrangements, calculating required capital must be done on a counterparty basis.

B (풀이: Netting arrangements make calculating risk capital for derivatives more challenging because all derivatives with a single counterparty are considered a single derivative if the counterparty defaulted, and therefore calculating required capital must be done on a counterparty basis rather than on a transaction basis.)

Assume we have a non-dividend-paying stock with a current price of $100 and volatility of 20%. If the risk-free rate is 7%, the price of a 6-month at-the-money call option, according to the BSM model, will be $7.43. The corresponding put option price will be $3.99. Now, assume that the same stock instead pays a $1 dividend in two months and a $1 dividend in five months. Compute the value of a 6-month call option on the dividend-paying stock.

PV of the first dividend: 1*e^(-0.07*0.1667) = 0.9884 PV of the second dividend: 1*e^(-0.07*0.4167) = 0.9713 Stock price = 100 - 0.9884 - 0.9713 = $98.04 이 주가 정보 가지고 캡처본 참고! *Since the dividend reduces the value of the stock, the call value decreased, and the put value increased compared to the non-dividend-paying stock.

(2) Short-sell한 주식은 100 받고 팔았는데 200 주고 갚아야 하니 100 손해, 따라서 총 이익은 [150-100=50]. - 주가가 50으로 내리면 (1) Long한 콜옵션은 총 [50-125=음수], 행사하지 않아 무가치. (2) Short-sell한 주식은 100 받고 팔았는데 50만 줘도 사서 갚을 수 있으니 50만큼 이익. ∴ Net asset position: $50 (no matter which way the stock price moves, the hedged PF will be worth $50.) ∴ PV of the strategy: 50*e^(-0.08*1) = $46.16

Using the duration/convexity approach, estimate the effect of a 150 basis point increase and decrease on a 15-year, 7%, option-free bond currently trading at par. The bond has a duration of 9.115 and a convexity of 114.8. (+Duration만 사용했다면 일어났을 일은?)

ΔP = -9.115*100*0.015+(1/2)*114.8*100*(0.15^2)=-12.381 Using duration alone would have implied a price change of -9.115*100*0.015=-13.675. (A bond price decline of $13.675) *Duration would have overestimated the decline.

Duration으로 채권가 변동 구하기) ΔP = ___ * ___ * ___

ΔP = -D * P * ΔY

Suppose a 15-year bond with an annual coupon of 7% is currently trading at $98,550. The bond has a duration of 3.28. Compute and interpret the bond's duration for a 25 basis point decrease in all rates.

ΔP = -D*P*Δy = -3.28 * $98,550 * -0.0025 = $808.11 Therefore, for a given 25 basis point decrease in rates, the bond's price is expected to increase by $808.11.

Bankruptcy-free PF란? - 현재주가 = $100 - 최대 주가 = $200 - 최소 주가 = $50 - 콜옵션 행사가격 = $125 - Δ = 0.5 ...일 때의 hedging 방식과 연관지어 생각해보기!

남의 돈도 조금 빌려서 옵션을 사고싶을 때, 아무리 주가가 떨어져도 절대 부도 나지 않을만큼을 차입하는 것. (1기간 후 갚아야 함) - Binomial model에서 알 수 있는 down factor를 곱한 주가가 곧 예상 가능한 최소 주가인데, 그만큼의 PV를 차입하는 것! - 따라서 long 옵션에 들어가는 내 돈은 [주가 - PV(최소주가)] ===== - 주식 PF니까, Δ와 콜옵션 가치에 따라 이 PF를 얼마나 들고있어야 perfect hedging 가능한건지 알 수 있음. Δ = 0.5니까 주식(울타리) 0.5개 long 해야 콜옵션(양) 1개 short 한거 hedge 가능하다는 의미! - 이때, PF는 주가 오르면 [200-50(차입금)=150] 이익, 내리면 [50-50(차입금)=0 이익! - 콜옵션은 주가 오르면 [200-125(행사가격)=75] 이익, 내리면 [50-125(행사가격)=음수] 굳이 행사하지 않아 가치 없음. - 따라서 이 주식 PF의 정확히 절반 (오르면 150/2=75 이익, 내리면 0/0=0 이익) 가지면 콜옵션의 가치와 일치!

Gaussian Copula model이란?

두개의 확률변수가 각자 가진 분포(ND 아닐 수도 있음; 물론 표준 ND면 correlation 결합이 쉬움)를 유지하면서 결합되어 새로운 joint 확률분포를 생성할 경우 두개의 독립된 확률분포를 결합하는 "함수" - e.g. Mapping non-normal distributions into the standard ND. *결합하는 이유: PF처럼 합쳐진 위험을 알고 싶어서!

둘 다 "higher"

Delta neutral & gamma neutral hedging의 차이는? 둘 간의 관계는?

둘 다 hedging strategy로 가지고 있는게 제일 확실하고 좋음. (Gamma & delta 둘 다 0으로 만들어야 기초자산으로부터 완전히 자유로움) Delta neutral은 주가의 비교적 작은 변화를 hedge할 때 유리하고, 큰 변화는 gamma neutral 활용하는게 좋음.

Modifying the binomial model) Valuing a stock that pays a continuous dividend yield - 공식은? - 그 이유는?

이유: 배당수익률 q를 미리 받으면 가격상승으로 보게 될 이득이 그만큼 (rf-q)로 줄어들기 때문.

Modifying the binomial model) Valuing options on futures - 공식은? - 그 이유는?

이유: 현물자산(stock, IR, bond, commodities, etc.)은 가지고 가는데 비용이 발생해서 rf라는 수익률이 필요하지만, 파생상품(futures, swap, option, forward, etc)은 costless 하기 때문에 수익률이 0이라 e^0=1.
