Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much risk should we take? A Short Guide to Risk Appetite sets out to help all those who need to decide how much risk can be taken in a particular risky and important situation. David Hillson and Ruth Murray-Webster introduce the RARA Model to explain the complementary and central roles of Risk Appetite and Risk Attitude, and along the way they show how other risk-related concepts fit in. Risk thresholds are the external expression of inherent risk appetite, and the challenge is how to set the right thresholds. By progressively deconstructing the RARA Model, the authors show that the essential control step is our ability to choose an appropriate risk attitude. The book contains practical guidance to setting risk thresholds that take proper account of the influences of organisational risk culture and the individual risk preferences of key stakeholders. Alongside this, individuals and organisations need to choose the risk attitude that will optimise their chances of achieving the desired objectives.
Download or read book Quantifying Systemic Risk written by Joseph G. Haubrich and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the recent financial crisis, the federal government has pursued significant regulatory reforms, including proposals to measure and monitor systemic risk. However, there is much debate about how this might be accomplished quantitatively and objectively—or whether this is even possible. A key issue is determining the appropriate trade-offs between risk and reward from a policy and social welfare perspective given the potential negative impact of crises. One of the first books to address the challenges of measuring statistical risk from a system-wide persepective, Quantifying Systemic Risk looks at the means of measuring systemic risk and explores alternative approaches. Among the topics discussed are the challenges of tying regulations to specific quantitative measures, the effects of learning and adaptation on the evolution of the market, and the distinction between the shocks that start a crisis and the mechanisms that enable it to grow.

Download or read book Endogenous Risk taking and Risk Premia Dynamics written by Serhiy Kozak and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I use a general equilibrium model to jointly explain the time-variation in real bond and stock risk premia along with time-variation in the comovement of realized returns. The model features multiple investment technologies and produces stock and real bond return correlation which changes both in magnitude and sign. The model also delivers a time-varying real term premium that changes sign. I find that changes in investors' appetite for risk are an important source of variation in asset prices. In response to this shock, the term premium and the stock risk premium move in opposite directions. Real default-free bonds are good hedges against an increase in stock discount rates, especially when the level of stock discount rates is high. In those times the bond risk premium and bond-stock correlations are negative (and vice versa). An empirical ICAPM with shocks to discount rates as a factor jointly prices the cross-section of bonds (by maturity) and stock portfolios (value, size, momentum).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consensus exists that financial crises are triggered by excessive leverage and low risk-sensitivity at the tails, together leading to endogenous risk-formation. A large body of literature explored the first determinant. None combined the two. We build a model with heterogenous agents, occasionally binding collateral constraints and loss-averse borrowers with kinked preferences (diminishing risk-sensitivity on the tails). The shadow price of debt (the tightness of the constraint), hence the risk of a crisis, derives endogenously by the distance in borrowers/lenders pricing kernels. Analytically we prove that: the tightness of the borrowing limit increases in the pricing kernels' distance and decreases in borrowers' risk-tolerance; the borrowers' Sharpe ratio raises with respect to his pricing kernel and to the shadow price of debt. We quantify the transmission channels by simulating the model with Markov-switching regimes, which account for anticipatory effects of the occasionally binding borrowing limit and of the preference status around the kink. Among other things we find that our model matches well several facts about asset prices, returns and consumption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various methods and models can quantify risks and try to predict future correlations. However, the flaw with any given financial model is that certain assumptions must be made, and when the market deviates too much from these assumptions, then the model falls apart. Under traditional valuation methods, risk is divided into systematic and unsystematic risk. But there is another way to look at risk, and that is whether it is exogenous or endogenous. Exogenous risk represents risks found outside the financial system, and it is taken into account when doing fundamental analysis. Endogenous risk, on the other hand, is the risk found within the financial system itself. This type of risk is the most dangerous, and it is often overlooked or not taken seriously enough by advisors and financial planners. Endogenous risk comes from aberrations and shocks that are generated within the financial system itself and ripple through the financial markets. It can cause extreme volatility (and losses) for investors and lead to behavior that may not be in the best interest of a client, namely selling when prices are depressed.The number of events occurring because of endogenous risk is increasing, which should be a source of concern. The emergence of financialized capitalism, the increase in speculation and decrease in investing, the growth of derivatives and use of leverage, the practice of shadow banking and lack of transparency, and the existence of institutions that are “too big to fail” all increase the likelihood of an endogenous event. Given the potential impact of endogenous risk, and the threat it poses, it should be taken into account when putting together financial plans and constructing client portfolios.

Book excerpt: Assessments of investors' risk appetite/aversion stance via indicators often yields results which seem unsatisfactory (see e.g. Illing and Aaron (2005)). Understanding how such indicators work therefore seems essential for further improvements. The present paper seeks to contribute to this evolution, focusing on the Global Risk Appetite Index (GRAI) class of indicators going back to Kumar and Persaud (2002). Looking at international stock indices during the subprime crisis in 2007, the plausibility of the GRAIs benefits from applying the rank correlation approach of Kumar and Persaud (2002) combined with a modified version of the factor-transformation extension proposed by Misina (2006).
Download or read book The Subsistence Constraint and Endogenous Risk Aversion written by Joel M. Guttman and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper contributes to the literature on endogenous preferences by showing that, when income is close to the minimum required for subsistence, individuals rationally will behave as if they were risk averse. It is suggested that observed risk aversion in empirical studies can be explained by the fact that, in the distant past, most people lived close to the subsistence constraint. It is shown that this approach can account for a number of empirical phenomena, including increasing income equality over time, decreasing risk aversion as income increases, and the economic role of insurance companies.
Download or read book Endogenous Risk and Its Impact on the Real Economy written by Vincent B.Y. Gan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose a dynamic measure of endogenous risk, the Systemic Marginal Leverage Index or SysLev. The measure is symmetrical, proportional, scale invariant, naturally bounded and time dynamic and consistent. This allows the observation of the evolution of risk and the identification of crucial periods of change due to significant procyclical adjustment pressures. The effectiveness of SysLev as an early warning indicator is evaluated and compared to the St. Louis Federal Reserve Financial Stress Index (STLFSI). Empirically, we employ bounds testing to evaluate the performance of SysLev as an early warning indicator. We find that SysLev outperforms STLFSI. We also find that aggregate balance sheet changes of the commercial banking sector can exert significant short and long term effects on the real economy. The predicted relationship is much stronger than the relationship between STLFSI and the real economy.

Download or read book How Much Risk is Too Much Risk written by David Hillson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important decisions for any business, project, or individual is how much risk to take. The phrase "risk appetite" is often used to describe the level of acceptable risk, but there is no accepted definition for this term; even worse, there is confusion between risk appetite and other risk-related terms, especially risk attitude. In seeking to answer the "How much risk ...?" question, this paper considers a range of risk terms, showing how they relate to one another. This reveals that two risk-related factors are particularly influential when individuals or organizations decide how much risk can be taken in a risky and important situation. These two key factors are risk appetite and risk attitude, which have central and complementary roles. The paper explains how to use both risk appetite and risk attitude to set appropriate risk thresholds in any given situation. Risk appetite is an internal tendency to take risk in a given situation, and it reflects organizational risk culture and the individual risk propensities of key stakeholders. However, unmanaged risk appetite can lead to the wrong outcome. Risk attitude is a chosen response to risk, driven by perception, and it can act as a control point to ensure that the right amount of risk is taken, so that the achievement of objectives is optimized. Putting both risk appetite and risk attitude together into a single framework (the RARA Model) provides a practical approach that enables individuals and organizations to take the right risks safely.
