Download or read book Riding the Yield Curve Risk Taking Behavior in a Low Interest Rate Environment written by Mr.Ralph Chami and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investors seek to hedge against interest rate risk by taking long or short positions on bonds of different maturities. We study changes in risk taking behavior in a low interest rate environment by estimating a market stochastic discount factor that is non-linear and therefore consistent with the empirical properties of cashflow valuations identified in the literature. We provide evidence that non-linearities arise from hedging strategies of investors exposed to interest rate risk. Capital losses are amplified when interest rates increase and risk averse investors have taken positions on instruments with longer maturity, expecting instead interest rates to revert back to their historical average.

Download or read book Market Consistency written by Malcolm Kemp and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving market consistency can be challenging, even for the most established finance practitioners. In Market Consistency: Model Calibration in Imperfect Markets, leading expert Malcolm Kemp shows readers how they can best incorporate market consistency across all disciplines. Building on the author's experience as a practitioner, writer and speaker on the topic, the book explores how risk management and related disciplines might develop as fair valuation principles become more entrenched in finance and regulatory practice. This is the only text that clearly illustrates how to calibrate risk, pricing and portfolio construction models to a market consistent level, carefully explaining in a logical sequence when and how market consistency should be used, what it means for different financial disciplines and how it can be achieved for both liquid and illiquid positions. It explains why market consistency is intrinsically difficult to achieve with certainty in some types of activities, including computation of hedging parameters, and provides solutions to even the most complex problems. The book also shows how to best mark-to-market illiquid assets and liabilities and to incorporate these valuations into solvency and other types of financial analysis; it indicates how to define and identify risk-free interest rates, even when the creditworthiness of governments is no longer undoubted; and it explores when practitioners should focus most on market consistency and when their clients or employers might have less desire for such an emphasis. Finally, the book analyses the intrinsic role of regulation and risk management within different parts of the financial services industry, identifying how and why market consistency is key to these topics, and highlights why ideal regulatory solvency approaches for long term investors like insurers and pension funds may not be the same as for other financial market participants such as banks and asset managers.

Download or read book What Do Interest Rates Reveal about the Stock Market written by Matthijs Breugem and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose a novel theory and provide supporting empirical evidence that lower long-term interest rates (e.g., because of "quantitative easing") harm informational and allocative efficiency. We develop a noisy rational expectations equilibrium model with an endogenous interest rate that investors use to update their beliefs about economic fundamentals. The interest rate reveals information about discount rates, allowing investors to extract more information about cashflows from stock prices. The precision of the interest-rate signal and, hence, stock-price informativeness increase in the interest rate. As a result, informational and allocative efficiency rise with bond and money supplies and with policy transparency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting 25 years of empirical research on interest rates and a variety of asset prices, this text aims to deepen understanding of asset price inflation. It includes an analysis of the measurement of interest rates, with case studies from The Netherlands, Belgium and EMU, and emphasizes statistical measurement and the attempt to understand interest rate behaviour through statistical estimation. The text also includes an examination of historical interest rate development in the long run, both theoretically and empirically. The behaviour of bonds, stocks, and investment in art are analyzed, as well as the factors indispensable for a monetary strategy designed to target inflation.

Download or read book A Market Based Approach to Inflation Expectations Risk Premia and Real Interest Rates written by Ricardo Gimeno and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we approach the inflation expectations and the real interest rate by using the information contain in the yield curve. We decompose nominal interest rates into real risk-free rates, inflation expectations and risk premia using an affine model that takes as factors the observed inflation rate and the parameters generated in the zero yield curve estimation. Under this approach we could obtain a measure of inflation expectations free of any risk premia. Moreover in our estimation we avoid imposing arbitrary restrictions as is mandatory under other methodologies based on unobserved components. The empirical exercise has been applied to an economy - like the Spanish one during the 90's - with an important convergence process and a change in the monetary policy regime. The results suggest that the evolution of inflation expectations has been smoother than was expected.

Download or read book The Yield Curve s Search for the Natural Rate of Interest written by Douglas Carr and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two novel models specify interest rates from factors other than time to demonstrate bond market expectations of riskless rates converge to the natural rate of interest.The first yield curve model is based upon risk rather than time. The riskless rate is the incremental yield for an infinitesimal amount of risk and is computed directly from bond yields. Resulting expected riskless rates are comparable to survey measures of expected short-term rates. Conversely, expected riskless rates for specific periods produce expected bond yields for those periods that also are comparable to survey expectations measures. The model produces a typical concave yield curve shape.The second model aligns with Wicksell's original conception of a natural rate of interest as determined by productivity of real capital rather than time. The natural rate is the capital factor share of incremental growth from capital investment. The savings/consumption function is determined by equivalence between incremental capital product and forgone consumption, replacing the problematic IS equation. This proxy provides a real rate of interest consistent with short-term yields in the U.S. and other advanced economies, especially when adjusted for central bank intervention. The measure is more stable and easier to estimate than other natural rate measures.This natural rate of interest proxy provides better forecasts of riskless rates over multi-year horizons than do expectations measures. Future yield curves are expected to be flatter and future real rates lower than historical averages.

Download or read book Bank Profitability and Risk Taking written by Natalya Martynova and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional theory suggests that more profitable banks should have lower risk-taking incentives. Then why did many profitable banks choose to invest in untested financial instruments before the crisis, realizing significant losses? We attempt to reconcile theory and evidence. In our setup, banks are endowed with a fixed core business. They take risk by levering up to engage in risky ‘side activities’(such as market-based investments) alongside the core business. A more profitable core business allows a bank to borrow more and take side risks on a larger scale, offsetting lower incentives to take risk of given size. Consequently, more profitable banks may have higher risk-taking incentives. The framework is consistent with cross-sectional patterns of bank risk-taking in the run up to the recent financial crisis.
