Download or read book The Handbook of Convertible Bonds written by Jan De Spiegeleer and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2011-03-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a complete guide to the pricing and risk management of convertible bond portfolios. Convertible bonds can be complex because they have both equity and debt like features and new market entrants will usually find that they have either a knowledge of fixed income mathematics or of equity derivatives and therefore have no idea how to incorporate credit and equity together into their existing pricing tools. Part I of the book covers the impact that the 2008 credit crunch has had on the markets, it then shows how to build up a convertible bond and introduces the reader to the traditional convertible vocabulary of yield to put, premium, conversion ratio, delta, gamma, vega and parity. The market of stock borrowing and lending will also be covered in detail. Using an intuitive approach based on the Jensen inequality, the authors will also show the advantages of using a hybrid to add value - pre 2008, many investors labelled convertible bonds as 'investing with no downside', there are of course plenty of 2008 examples to prove that they were wrong. The authors then go onto give a complete explanation of the different features that can be embedded in convertible bond. Part II shows readers how to price convertibles. It covers the different parameters used in valuation models: credit spreads, volatility, interest rates and borrow fees and Maturity. Part III covers investment strategies for equity, fixed income and hedge fund investors and includes dynamic hedging and convertible arbitrage. Part IV explains the all important risk management part of the process in detail. This is a highly practical book, all products priced are real world examples and numerical examples are not limited to hypothetical convertibles. It is a must read for anyone wanting to safely get into this highly liquid, high return market.

Download or read book The Risk Management of Contingent Convertible CoCo Bonds written by Jan De Spiegeleer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the risk components of CoCo bonds. CoCos are hybrid financial instruments that convert into equity or suffer a write-down of the face value upon the appearance of a trigger event. The loss-absorption mechanism is automatically enforced either via the breaching of a particular accounting ratio, typically in terms of the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio, or via a regulatory trigger. CoCos are non-standardised instruments with different loss-absorption and trigger mechanisms. They might also contain additional features such as the cancellation of coupon payments. Different pricing models are discussed in detail. These models use market data such as share prices, CDS levels and implied volatility in order to calculate the theoretical price of a CoCo bond and its sensitivities, providing the investor with insides to hedge from adverse changes in the market conditions. The audience are professionals as well as academics who want to learn how to risk manage CoCo bonds using cutting edge techniques as well as all the risk involved in CoCo bonds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing a revolutionary new quantitative approach to hybrid securities valuation and risk management To an equity trader they are shares. For the trader at the fixed income desk, they are bonds (after all, they pay coupons, so what's the problem?). They are hybrid securities. Neither equity nor debt, they possess characteristics of both, and carry unique risks that cannot be ignored, but are often woefully misunderstood. The first and only book of its kind, The Handbook of Hybrid Securities dispels the many myths and misconceptions about hybrid securities and arms you with a quantitative, practical approach to dealing with them from a valuation and risk management point of view. Describes a unique, quantitative approach to hybrid valuation and risk management that uses new structural and multi-factor models Provides strategies for the full range of hybrid asset classes, including convertible bonds, preferreds, trust preferreds, contingent convertibles, bonds labeled "additional Tier 1," and more Offers an expert review of current regulatory climate regarding hybrids, globally, and explores likely political developments and their potential impact on the hybrid market The most up-to-date, in-depth book on the subject, this is a valuable working resource for traders, analysts and risk managers, and a indispensable reference for regulators

Download or read book Contingent Convertible Bonds and Its Impact on Risk Taking of Managers written by Thomas Walther and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses how Contingent Convertible Bonds (CCB) influence the risk-taking behaviour of managers. A methodology to measure the impact is presented. The results show that the decision of issuing CCB to finance the firm's assets sets incentives to managers to increase risk, in case the compensation is not adjusted. However, if the remuneration of managers is adjusted simultaneously with the issuance, e. g. with inside debt, the drawbacks of the sole compensation with stock options can be equalised. Furthermore, we found that CCB do have an impact on the risk-taking behaviour, while CCB do not change the incentive to increase the firm value at all.

Download or read book The Implications of Reverse Convertible Bonds for Bank Runs and Risk Shifting written by Pierre Chaigneau and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We describe a new type of bank liability, reverse convertible bonds, that help prevent bank runs that lead to bank failures (ex-post), and inefficient risk-taking (ex-ante). These bonds are short-term debt that automatically convert into equity following a missed debt repayment. They can be designed to eliminate strategic complementarities among bank creditors that give rise to bank runs, thus allowing a bank to fully play its maturity transformation role and avoid bankruptcy. Since bank shareholders are then residual claimants in all states of the world, they do not engage in risk shifting. We discuss similarities and differences with contingent capital.

Download or read book How Big Banks Fail and What to Do about It written by Darrell Duffie and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading finance expert explains how and why big banks fail—and what can be done to prevent it Dealer banks—that is, large banks that deal in securities and derivatives, such as J. P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs—are of a size and complexity that sharply distinguish them from typical commercial banks. When they fail, as we saw in the global financial crisis, they pose significant risks to our financial system and the world economy. How Big Banks Fail and What to Do about It examines how these banks collapse and how we can prevent the need to bail them out. In sharp, clinical detail, Darrell Duffie walks readers step-by-step through the mechanics of large-bank failures. He identifies where the cracks first appear when a dealer bank is weakened by severe trading losses, and demonstrates how the bank's relationships with its customers and business partners abruptly change when its solvency is threatened. As others seek to reduce their exposure to the dealer bank, the bank is forced to signal its strength by using up its slim stock of remaining liquid capital. Duffie shows how the key mechanisms in a dealer bank's collapse—such as Lehman Brothers' failure in 2008—derive from special institutional frameworks and regulations that influence the flight of short-term secured creditors, hedge-fund clients, derivatives counterparties, and most devastatingly, the loss of clearing and settlement services. How Big Banks Fail and What to Do about It reveals why today's regulatory and institutional frameworks for mitigating large-bank failures don't address the special risks to our financial system that are posed by dealer banks, and outlines the improvements in regulations and market institutions that are needed to address these systemic risks.

Download or read book Contingent Convertible Bonds Corporate Hybrid Securities and Preferred Shares written by Marcin Liberadzki and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive guide to the new generation of hybrid securities: subordinated and perpetual bonds with deferrable coupon first issued around 2003, and the youngest member of the hybrids family named CoCos (contingent convertibles) being a product of Basel III or European Union CRD IV regime (2014). Contingent capital constitutes a contractual recapitalization mechanism for troubled financial institutions. An increasing number of European banks have issued CoCo bonds in order to bolster their capital ratios. Following the EU pattern, CoCos issues have become increasingly popular within banks in Asia and the Pacific. The EU regulatory treatment of the contingent convertibles issued by banks and insurers together with bank bail-in instruments is at the forefront of the book. Furthermore, the book provides an overview of hybrids pricing and risk assessment approach and covers the non-voting preferred stocks as another hybrids class.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 2,3, University of Cooperative Education, language: English, abstract: Many banks contributed through their high-risk business models to the financial crisis in 2007. The financial crisis has shown that for a bank's solvency it is not only the amount of equity that is important, but also significantly the quality of equity. In particular hybrid capital was not used to a sufficient extent to absorb losses, although it is partially core capital under Basel II. Because of this the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision decided in December 2010 on new capital- and liquidity rules for banks (''Basel III framework''). The Basel III framework implemented the regulatory requirements to strengthen the financial system. In particular the qualitative requirements were raised for core capital. Under these new regulations core capital is crucial, because it can fully and immediately be claimed for losses. The old forms of hybrid capital will be recognized in regulatory capital to a lesser extent in the future. This has implications especially for subordinated bonds. The aim is to involve subordinated creditors and equity investors in the recovery phase in the cost of crisis management. The new capital requirements mean major structural changes for the banks, because the comparatively cheap hybrid capital must be replaced by capital of higher quality. A new form of hybrid capital have emerged, so called contingent convertible bonds(CoCos), a fixed-income security which is a capital buffer for a bank in financial distress and so could be attributed to regulatory equity capital. This hybrid capital is in the form of a mandatory convertible bond, which can contribute to making up for losses such as equity in the event of a crisis. In order to meet the new regulatory requirements, many banks are considering the advantages of CoCos. Therefore this thesis at

Book excerpt: We assess the impact of contingent convertible (CoCo) bonds and the wealth transfers they imply conditional on conversion on the risk-taking behaviour of the issuing bank. We also test for regulatory arbitrage: do banks by issuing CoCo bonds try to maintain risk-taking incentives when regulators reduce them through higher capitalization ratios? While we test for and reject sample selection bias, we show that CoCo bonds issuance has a strong positive effect on risk-taking behaviour, and so do conversion parameters that reduce dilution of existing shareholders upon conversion. Higher volatility amplifies the impact of CoCo bonds on risk-taking.

Download or read book The Squam Lake Report written by Kenneth R. French and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nonpartisan plan of action for fixing the global economy from fifteen of the world's leading economists In the fall of 2008, fifteen of the world's leading economists—representing the broadest spectrum of economic opinion—gathered at New Hampshire's Squam Lake. Their goal: the mapping of a long-term plan for financial regulation reform. The Squam Lake Report distills the wealth of insights from the ongoing collaboration that began at these meetings and provides a revelatory, unified, and coherent voice for fixing our troubled and damaged financial markets. As an alternative to the patchwork solutions and ideologically charged proposals that have dominated other discussions, the Squam Lake group sets forth a clear nonpartisan plan of action to transform the regulation of financial markets—not just for the current climate—but for generations to come. Arguing that there has been a conflict between financial institutions and society, these diverse experts present sound and transparent prescriptions to reduce this divide. They look at the critical holes in the existing regulatory framework for handling complex financial institutions, retirement savings, and credit default swaps. They offer ideas for new financial instruments designed to recapitalize banks without burdening taxpayers. To lower the risk that large banks will fail, the authors call for higher capital requirements as well as a systemic regulator who is part of the central bank. They collectively analyze where the financial system has failed, and how these weak points should be overhauled. Combining an immense depth of academic, private sector, and public policy experience, The Squam Lake Report contains urgent recommendations that will positively influence everyone's financial well-being—all who care about the world's economic health need to pay attention.

Download or read book Implications of an Increasing Conversion Risk of Contingent Convertible Bonds on Share Prices written by Silvio Pasquale and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the financial crisis of 2007/08, national regulators tightened capital and liquidity rules for financial institutions. The new capital requirements led to an emergence of contingent convertible bond issuances of banks that convert into equity when a predefined trigger is reached. So far it has not been observable how market prices of contingent convertible bonds or bank shares react if the conversion probability increases. In this thesis, two Swiss banks that have issued contingent convertible bonds, which trigger based on the reported Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, are analysed. It is examined how their share prices may react in a scenario of surged conversion risk. The basis build a Monte Carlo model that estimates conversion risk and a cash flow model that estimates share values. Evidence is presented that Tier 1 ratios follow a mean reverting process and that the management and shareholders have the power to increase the likelihood that the process reaches the trigger ratio. Moreover, for both banks an augmented conversion risk can enhance share values, although the conversion of some bonds into shares has diluting effects. It can be concluded that there exist some moral hazard issues since the management or shareholders can be incentivised to enforce a conversion or, at least, increase the probability of such an event.
