Replicating portfolio approach to capital calculation

Mathieu Jacques David Cambou, Damir Filipovic

The replicating portfolio (RP) approach to the calculation of capital for life insurance portfolios is an industry standard. The RP is obtained from projecting the terminal loss of discounted asset–liability cash flows on a set of factors generated by a fa ...

Exact Smooth Term Structure Estimation

Damir Filipovic, Sander Félix M Willems

We present a non-parametric method to estimate the discount curve from market quotes based on the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse. The discount curve reproduces the market quotes perfectly, has maximal smoothness, and is given in closed-form. The method is eas ...

Unspanned stochastic volatility in the multifactor CIR model

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson, Francesco Statti

Empirical evidence suggests that fixed-income markets exhibit unspanned stochastic volatility (USV), that is, that one cannot fully hedge volatility risk solely using a portfolio of bonds. While Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein (2002, Journal of Finance, 57, ...

Linear-Rational Term Structure Models

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson

We introduce the class of linear-rational term structure models in which the state price density is modeled such that bond prices become linear-rational functions of the factors. This class is highly tractable with several distinct advantages: (i) ensures ...

Model Uncertainty And Scenario Aggregation

Mathieu Jacques David Cambou, Damir Filipovic

This paper provides a coherent method for scenario aggregation addressing model uncertainty. It is based on divergence minimization from a reference probability measure subject to scenario constraints. An example from regulatory practice motivates the defi ...

Quadratic variance swap models

Loriano Mancini, Damir Filipovic

We introduce a novel class of term structure models for variance swaps. The multivariate state process is characterized by a quadratic diffusion function. The variance swap curve is quadratic in the state variable and available in closed form, greatly faci ...

Uniqueness of equilibrium in a payment system with liquidation costs

Léo Hamed Amini, Damir Filipovic

We study a financial network where forced liquidations of an illiquid asset have a negative impact on its price, thus reinforcing network contagion. We give conditions for uniqueness of the clearing asset price and liability payments. Our main result holds ...

Old-age provision: past, present, future

Joël Wagner, Paul Embrechts, Damir Filipovic

This is a summary of the main topics and findings from the Swiss Risk and Insurance Forum 2015. That event gathered experts from academia, insurance industry, regulatory bodies, and consulting companies to discuss the past and current developments and nece ...

Fed funds futures variance futures

Damir Filipovic

We develop a novel contract design, the fed funds futures (FFF) variance futures, which reflects the expected realized basis point variance of an underlying FFF rate. The valuation of short-term FFF variance futures is completely model-independent in a gen ...

Polynomial diffusions and applications in finance

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson

This paper provides the mathematical foundation for polynomial diffusions. They play an important role in a growing range of applications in finance, including financial market models for interest rates, credit risk, stochastic volatility, commodities and ...

To Fully Net or Not to Net: Adverse Effects of Partial Multilateral Netting

Léo Hamed Amini, Damir Filipovic

We show that partial versus full multilateral netting of interbank liabilities increases bank shortfall and reduces clearing asset price and aggregate bank surplus. We also show that partial multilateral netting can be worse than no netting at all. ...

Optimal Investment and Premium Policies Under Risk Shifting and Solvency Regulation

Damir Filipovic

Limited liability creates an incentive for insurers to increase the risk of the assets and liabilities at the expense of policyholders. We show that solvency capital requirements restrict the set of feasible investment and premium policies and can thereby ...

Pricing and hedging of inflation-indexed bonds in an affine framework

Damir Filipovic

This study deals with the pricing and hedging of inflation-indexed bonds. Under foreign exchange analogy we model the nominal short rate, real short rate and logarithm of the price index with an afflne Gaussian process. Using the underlying affine property ...

Invariant manifolds with boundary for jump-diffusions

Damir Filipovic

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for stochastic invariance of finite dimensional submanifolds with boundary in Hilbert spaces for stochastic partial differential equations driven by Wiener processes and Poisson random measures. ...

The term structure of interbank risk

Damir Filipovic

We infer a term structure of interbank risk from spreads between rates on interest rate swaps indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and overnight indexed swaps. We develop a tractable model of interbank risk to decompose the term structure i ...

Density approximations for multivariate affine jump-diffusion processes

Damir Filipovic

We introduce closed-form transition density expansions for multivariate affine jump-diffusion processes. The expansions rely on a general approximation theory which we develop in weighted Hilbert spaces for random variables which possess all polynomial mom ...

Conditional Density Models for Asset Pricing

Damir Filipovic

We model the dynamics of asset prices and associated derivatives by consideration of the dynamics of the conditional probability density process for the value of an asset at some specified time in the future. In the case where the asset is driven by Browni ...

The Canonical Model Space For Law-Invariant Convex Risk Measures Is L1

Damir Filipovic, Gregor Svindland

In this paper, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between law-invariant convex risk measures on L8 and L1. This proves that the canonical model space for the predominant class of law-invariant convex risk measures is L1. ...
