This document discusses using quantitative strategies to systematically manage client-driven trading flows. It describes how a dealer can proactively price, hedge, and manage risk when facilitating client trades, rather than reactively. Specific topics covered include the large volume and order flow in the US options market, an overview of flow trading and hedging client trades, and examples of relative value arbitrage strategies used to systematically hedge less liquid client trades.
The document discusses volatility arbitrage hedge funds and their performance relative to other hedge funds during the market downturn of 2008-2009. It notes that volatility arbitrage funds returned 7.3% through August 2008 while most other hedge fund strategies struggled. A number of reasons for the strong performance are provided, including high volatility, opportunities from illiquid market conditions, and avoidance of exposure to sub-prime credit. The document proposes a new volatility arbitrage fund that will utilize flexible strategies tailored to changing market conditions in order to generate positive returns across different market environments. Brief biographies of the proposed fund's trading team are also included.
The variance swap market has grown exponentially over the past decade and is among the most liquid equity derivatives contracts. Variance swaps provide exposure to volatility through the difference between the implied and realized variance of an underlying asset. Historically, the implied volatility of indices has been higher than realized volatility, allowing those taking short volatility positions to profit. Standard and Poor's has developed indices to benchmark volatility arbitrage strategies, such as the S&P 500 Volatility Arbitrage Index which measures the performance of a variance swap on the S&P 500.

The document provides an overview of security analysis and different analytical techniques used, including fundamental analysis and technical analysis.
Fundamental analysis involves analyzing the economy, industry, and company to determine a company's intrinsic value. Technical analysis uses historical price and volume data to identify trends and patterns that can predict future price movements. Key techniques include chart analysis and identifying support/resistance levels and patterns like head and shoulders. The efficient market hypothesis suggests stock prices already reflect all available public information and it is difficult to outperform the overall market through analysis alone.
This document discusses risk-controlled investment strategies, specifically volatility control and risk parity approaches. It provides examples of how volatility control works by dynamically adjusting equity exposure in response to changing volatility levels. The benefits of volatility control for pension funds, insurance companies and individual investors are outlined. Case studies from different time periods demonstrate how volatility control can reduce drawdowns compared to a fixed market exposure. The document also introduces the concept of risk parity and how it aims to balance risk across asset classes rather than just allocating based on asset value. Implementation of volatility control and risk parity approaches are discussed.
This document introduces a risk-oriented investment concept that uses volatility as a limit to control portfolio risk. It begins by noting that market conditions have become more turbulent, causing portfolio risk to rise sharply during periods of uncertainty and selling pressure. It then outlines an investment concept that sets a ceiling for portfolio volatility in order to avoid stress and losses for cautious investors. The concept is described as an alternative to both benchmark-oriented strategies and capital protection strategies. It works by actively managing the portfolio based on views of the market but reducing risk as the volatility limit is approached.
Harry Markowitz is an American economist known for pioneering modern portfolio theory. He developed the concept of the efficient frontier, which shows the set of optimal portfolios that produce the highest expected return for a given level of risk or the lowest risk for a given level of expected return. Markowitz proposed using statistical tools like variance to quantify an investment's risk and using expected returns and correlations between assets to construct portfolios. His work revolutionized the theory and practice of asset management and laid the foundation for much of the subsequent development in financial economics.

The strategies are meant to generate high returns while limiting volatility and correlation to markets. Key details include the fund's structure, fee terms, hypothetical performance metrics for different strategy allocations, budget projections, bios of the fund manager and quantitative manager, and contact information. A valuation model is also outlined.
Dual Strategy Equity Derivatives Fund January 2017George Namur
This document provides an overview of the Dual Strategy Equity Derivatives Fund, which combines two complementary investment strategies - an options strategy and a quantitative volatility strategy - to generate high returns while limiting volatility. The options strategy takes long positions in equity options to benefit from upward market moves. The quantitative volatility strategy uses a proprietary Gamma Vanna Volga framework to identify relative value and carry trade opportunities in volatility markets. Together, the two strategies aim to produce smoother returns than either strategy alone due to their low correlation.
1) Portfolio construction involves blending different asset classes like stocks, bonds, and cash to obtain returns while minimizing risk through diversification.
2) There are two main approaches - the traditional approach selects securities to meet an investor's needs, while the Markowitz efficient frontier approach constructs portfolios that maximize expected return for a given level of risk.
3) The Markowitz model helps investors reduce risk by choosing securities whose returns do not move together, identifying the efficient frontier of portfolio options, and allowing investors to select the portfolio with the highest return for a given risk level.
The document discusses portfolio management and asset allocation strategies. It defines a portfolio as a collection of investments that can include stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and cash. It then describes different types of portfolios including a market portfolio and a zero investment portfolio. The main phases of portfolio management are outlined as security analysis, portfolio analysis, portfolio selection, portfolio revision, and portfolio evaluation. Asset allocation strategies focus on establishing an appropriate mix of asset classes in a portfolio to optimize risk and return based on an investor's goals.
The document discusses portfolio management and modern portfolio theory. It defines key concepts like investment, speculation, asset allocation, risk, return, diversification, efficient frontier. Portfolio management aims to balance risk and return through diversification across different asset classes based on an investor's goals, risk tolerance and constraints. Modern portfolio theory provides a framework for optimizing risk-adjusted returns through careful selection of a combination of assets.
This document discusses portfolio management strategies. It defines portfolio management as making investment decisions to match objectives and balance risk/return. It describes active strategies as precise investments to outperform benchmarks by exploiting inefficiencies. Passive strategies stress minimizing fees and avoiding failure to predict the future by following a fixed strategy not involving forecasting, such as indexing theory which creates portfolios that impersonate market indexes. The document outlines types of active and passive strategies and styles of stock selection.
The document discusses several concepts related to futures and options trading:
1) It provides the formula for determining future prices based on the spot price, risk-free rate, time to expiration, and dividends.
2) It describes different positions that can be taken in futures markets, including cash and carry arbitrage, calendar spreads, and naked spreads.
3) It lists criteria for selecting stocks that are eligible for futures and options trading, such as market capitalization, average daily trading value, and order size.
4) It defines concepts like implied volatility, VWAP, systematic and unsystematic risk, beta, hedging strategies, and open interest.
Managed futures involve professional money managers investing in futures contracts across various markets like energy, agriculture, currencies, and equities using techniques like fundamentals analysis, technical analysis, arbitrage, or algorithms. A study found that including a managed futures index in a portfolio increased returns and reduced risk compared to only including stocks. Managed futures provide diversification benefits and can hedge against various economic risks due to investing across global markets and using different strategies.
The document provides an overview of fundamental analysis and technical analysis techniques used in security analysis. It discusses various fundamental analysis approaches like economy analysis, industry analysis, and company analysis. It also covers technical analysis indicators like Dow Theory, Elliott Wave Principle, chart types, chart patterns, and moving averages. Finally, it provides a brief introduction to the efficient market theory which states that security prices reflect all available information.
This document discusses modern portfolio theory and diversification strategies. It begins by summarizing Harry Markowitz's seminal work on portfolio selection and modern portfolio theory. It then explains how correlation and diversifying assets with low correlations can reduce risk in a portfolio. Lastly, it defines different types of risk like systematic, unsystematic, call, capital, company, concentration, counterparty, credit, currency, and deflation risk that investors should understand.
1. introduction to portfolio managementAkash Bakshi
This document discusses traditional and modern approaches to portfolio construction. The traditional approach involves determining objectives, analyzing investor constraints like income needs and liquidity, determining the objective such as current income or capital appreciation, and selecting securities and their weights to minimize risk and maximize return. It involves four to six steps including analyzing constraints, determining objectives, selecting the portfolio, and considering factors like asset mix, growth, capital appreciation, safety, and diversification. The modern approach exemplified by Markowitz focuses more on risk and return analysis to minimize risk and maximize profit without considering individual needs.

The document discusses various techniques for managing market risk, including hedging and diversification. It describes hedging strategies using various tools like short selling, options, futures/forwards, and swaps to offset potential losses from market movements. Diversification is discussed as a way to reduce risk by investing across a variety of assets with low correlations. The Value at Risk (VaR) method is presented as a standard way to measure and estimate potential market losses over a given time period and confidence level based on historical volatility and correlations.
The concept of the Security Market Line is very popular for portfolio management. It helps to derive the pricing of risky securities by plotting their expected returns.

This document discusses foreign exchange risk and its management. It defines foreign exchange risk as the risk of an investment's value changing due to currency fluctuations. It identifies the main types of foreign exchange risk as transaction risk, translation risk, and economic risk. Transaction risk arises from currency movements between the signing and execution of contracts. Translation risk occurs when consolidating financial statements in different currencies. Economic risk affects the long-term expected profits and wealth of a company due to currency changes. The document outlines various hedging strategies to manage these risks, including the use of forwards, futures, and money markets.
The document provides an introduction to a lecture on modern portfolio theory. It discusses key concepts such as risk, capital markets, market efficiency, and diversification. The lecturer, Muhammad Usman, outlines the course material including two textbooks and notes that the lectures will provide an introduction to important concepts while students are expected to do additional private study.
Volatility trading strategies seek to profit from changes in a asset's volatility. Volatility measures how much the price of an asset fluctuates over time. There are several types of volatility strategies including volatility dispersion trading which buys options on index components and sells options on the overall index, volatility spreads which use option combinations to profit from different implied volatilities, and gamma trading which aims to benefit from unexpected events causing large price moves. Volatility is important for options as their pricing depends on assumptions about future volatility.
The document discusses options trading strategies and concepts. It defines call and put options, describes different option types like at-the-money, in-the-money and out-of-the-money. It then explains basic option strategies like long call, short call, long put and short put. More complex strategies like long strangle, short strangle, long straddle and short straddle are presented along with their construction. Greek letters like theta, delta and vega are introduced and their impact and role in options trading is explained.

A Strategy in a Day & The One Page Strategic PlanJC Duarte
The document describes a Strategy in a Day workshop and One Page Strategic Plan tool. The workshop is a facilitated one-day session that develops short, medium, and long-term strategic initiatives for an organization. The output is a One Page Strategic Plan that guarantees alignment, engagement, and commitment around strategic priorities. The plan breaks down strategies across five levels from corporate goals to individual team operational plans. The process aims to provide clarity, focus, alignment, motivation, and ownership to achieve business objectives.
Currency derivatives allow traders to buy or sell currency pairs such as USD/INR at future dates through futures and options contracts. Currency derivatives work similarly to stock futures and options, but with currency pairs as the underlying asset instead of stocks. Major participants in currency trading include banks, corporations, exporters, and importers, as it occurs in foreign exchange markets, which are among the largest financial markets globally. Traders use currency derivatives to hedge currency risk from transactions involving foreign exchange or to speculate on changes in currency values.
Implied volatility represents the volatility that makes the theoretical value of an option equal to its market price. It is typically expressed as an annual percentage that represents how much a stock's price could move up or down in one standard deviation. The document explains how to convert implied annual volatility into expected price movements over different time periods like days or weeks by taking the square root of the fraction of days relative to a year. For example, a stock with 35% annual implied volatility would be expected to move up or down around 2.2% within one day, 4.93% within five days, and 9.86% within 20 days. The document demonstrates how to use these expected movements to assess risk for options positions.

Enhanced Call Overwriting*
Systematically overwriting the S&P 500 with 1-month at-the-money calls, rebalanced on a monthly basis at expiration, outperformed the S&P 500 Index during our sample period (1996 – 2005). This “base case” overwriting strategy also generated superior risk-adjusted returns versus the index.
Overwriting portfolios with out-of-the-money calls tends to outperform at-the-money overwriting during market rallies, but provides less protection during market downturns. However, out-of-the money overwriting also results in relatively higher return variability and inferior risk-adjusted performance.
During the sample period, overwriting the S&P 500 with short-dated options, rebalanced more frequently, outperformed overwriting with longer-dated options, rebalanced less frequently. We discuss possible explanations for these performance differences.
We find that going long the market during periods of heightened short-term anxiety, inferred from the presence of relatively high S&P 500 1-month at-the-money implied volatility, has, on average, been a winning strategy. To a slightly lesser extent, having relatively less exposure to the market during periods of complacency – or relatively low implied market implied volatility – was also beneficial.
We create an “enhanced” overwriting strategy – whereby investors systematically overwrite the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100 with disproportionately fewer (more) calls against the indices when risk expectations are relatively high (low).
Our enhanced overwriting portfolios handily outperformed the base case overwrite portfolios and the respective underlying indices, on an absolute and risk-adjusted basis. For example, the average annual return for the S&P 500 enhanced overwriting portfolio from 1997 – 2005 was 7.9%, versus 6.6% for the base case overwrite portfolio and 5.5% for the S&P 500 Index.
Overwriting with fewer calls when implied volatility is rich, and more calls when implied volatility is cheap, could improve the absolute and risk-adjusted performance of index-oriented overwriting portfolios.
This goes against the conventional tendency for investors to sell calls against their positions when implied volatility is high.

Convertible Bonds and Call Overwrites - 2007RYAN RENICKER
The document evaluates Best Buy's 2.25% convertible bonds due 2022 with call overwrites as a risk-adjusted trade on Best Buy stock. It analyzes the trade over 3 time horizons (3 months, 5 months, 15 months) with varying degrees of call option overwrites. Selling calls at higher implied volatilities allows investors to monetize rich option premium. The trade provides upside potential if the stock rises while limiting downside through the call premium collected and bond floor. Tables show estimated returns for the convertible bond under different stock price scenarios and call overwrite strategies.
Realized and implied index skews, jumps, and the failure of the minimum-varia...Volatility
This document discusses implied and realized index skews using a beta stochastic volatility model. Empirical evidence shows that implied and realized volatilities of stock indices follow log-normal distributions. A beta stochastic volatility model is presented that models volatility evolution based on changes in the index price. The model's parameters, volatility beta and residual volatility, are estimated using historical index returns and volatility data. Implied parameters from option prices generally overestimate realized values. Risk-neutral skews incorporate an additional premium due to investor risk aversion that the model quantifies using a relationship from financial studies literature. A Merton jump diffusion model is fit to the empirical data to further examine skews.

This paper presents a general stochastic volatility model that nests both Heston and Sabr models. It develops a correlation control variate Monte Carlo valuation method that provides significant improvements in valuation efficiency over existing simulation methods, especially for pricing barrier options. By providing an effective simulation method for this general model, the paper enables the potential to calibrate the model to both vanilla and path-dependent instruments to better fit market prices.
1) The Verus DynaMix Advantage uses a quantitative indicator tool called DynaMix to tactically adjust monthly asset allocations across global equity, commodity, and money market exchange traded funds.
2) DynaMix employs over 80 economic and market factors to produce signals indicating whether asset classes should be overweighted, neutral weighted, or underweighted.
3) Backtesting shows the strategy achieved average annual returns of 17.7% compared to 10.3% for a blended benchmark, successfully diversifying across asset classes to outperform while managing risk.
Momentum and Trend Following for Global REITs. ARES 2015Consiliacapital
1) The document analyzes various investment strategies for REIT mutual funds, including adding global REITs to multi-asset portfolios, adopting trend following strategies, and using momentum-based strategies.

Value Investing or Momentum Investing? Which is better? Or should you blend them? If you blend them, is it better to have 50% momentum, 50% value, or is it better to rank all the value stocks by momentum, or momentum stocks by value. Find out in this presentation!
The document describes an intraday equities trend system that aims to identify liquid stocks exhibiting volatility and momentum for short-term trading. The system uses a proprietary technique to select stocks in a favorable "volatility and liquidity sweet spot" and takes long positions in strong stocks and short positions in weak stocks. Hypothetical backtested performance from 2007-2008 showed gains of 9% in high volatility periods and losses of 5% in low volatility periods, with the strategy aiming to return 15-20% annually while limiting drawdowns.
The document provides an overview of equity investments and security markets. It discusses various topics including types of capital markets, structure of securities exchanges, types of orders and margin transactions. It also summarizes key concepts related to stock market indices, market efficiency, security valuation techniques, industry and company analysis factors that affect stock valuation. The document is aimed to educate readers on fundamentals of equity investments and security analysis.
Andrew Palashewsky developed the Advance IQ Capital model beginning in 2011 to create an algorithmic trading strategy based on his decades of experience. The model uses proprietary momentum measurements to determine buy and sell signals across different market conditions. Backtesting of the model on futures, currencies, and ETFs from 2008-2014 shows annual returns ranging from 9.4% to 30% compared to benchmarks. However, past performance is not indicative of future results.
Andrew Palashewsky developed the Advance IQ Capital Model beginning in 2011 to systematically trade futures, currencies, and ETFs using proprietary momentum indicators. Backtesting shows the model achieved strong risk-adjusted returns across various assets during bull and bear markets from 2008-2014, outperforming benchmarks. The model adapts rules based on defined market phases and suppresses signals in choppy conditions to limit losses.

The document discusses an investment strategy that utilizes quantitative techniques to generate alpha from multiple uncorrelated signals. It examines factors like valuations, momentum, and reversions across equities to construct a market neutral portfolio. The strategy aims to maximize returns while minimizing risks by optimizing weights between the various alpha signals. It takes a rules-based approach to ranking stocks and implementing the portfolio.
This document discusses relative strength investment strategies. It finds that relative strength portfolios outperform benchmarks in 70% of years and returns are persistent over time. Adding a trend following parameter to dynamically hedge the portfolio decreases both volatility and drawdown. Momentum strategies have been used for over a century and relative strength is one of the most researched strategies. The document tests relative strength models on US equity sector portfolios and global asset classes.

The ETF Alpha Model provides strategies for identifying entry and exit points in liquid ETFs and stocks to generate returns with less volatility than holding the underlying assets. Models have been developed over years of research using probability and statistics. Strategies focus on intermediate-term trades of several days to months based on confirming technical and statistical indicators. Backtested data since 2005 shows the strategies outperform a long position in the ETFs with lower volatility. Sample ETFs traded include SPY, QQQ, EEM and various sector ETFs. Results for the EEM and EWJ models from 2002 to 2013 demonstrate higher total returns with lower volatility than simply holding the ETFs.
The document provides steps for assembling a portfolio of regression-based strategies to systematically navigate changing market conditions. It recommends:
1) Developing an understanding of statistics and using statistical tools over simplistic indicators.
2) Implementing a core strategy with discipline, understanding when it performs best, and selecting contrasting strategies.
3) Choosing additional strategies with different frequencies and those that contrast the core strategy's weaknesses to reduce volatility.
4) Establishing allocation parameters to enhance performance and limit drawdowns, such as reducing neutral strategies in high volatility. The LRC Credit Spreads course is presented as an introduction to building the first wave.
The document provides an overview of technical market indicators, classifying them into four main groups: trend indicators, breadth indicators, contrarian indicators, and oscillators. It discusses trend indicators in more detail, defining them as indicators that measure the main direction of the underlying security or market. Trend indicators have the advantage of being stronger than other indicators since markets trend most of the time, allowing trend-following strategies to be profitable. However, trend indicators also have the complication of being lagging rather than leading indicators that only confirm trends after they have occurred.

Unlock Your Potential with NCVT MIS.pptxcosmo-soil
The NCVT MIS Certificate, issued by the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT), is a crucial credential for skill development in India. Recognized nationwide, it verifies vocational training across diverse trades, enhancing employment prospects, standardizing training quality, and promoting self-employment. This certification is integral to India's growing labor force, fostering skill development and economic growth.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

Volatility Arbitrage is designed to produce absolute, market-neutral returns.
• Strategy continually looks to exploit pricing inefficiencies in various
options classes to generate consistent profits.
• Trade duration might vary from a few weeks to a few months.
• Strategy uses only exchange-listed options on US stocks.
• Strict execution and oversight guidelines ensures:
– Reduced transaction costs and market impact (Proprietary trading
technology utilizes all available liquidity to ensure positions are initiated and
closed in the most efficient manner possible).
– Increased speed and effectiveness of Risk Management
(Proprietary tools also designed to identify and rapidly reduce risk across both
strategies).

Portfolio Insurance is a vitally important, yet often overlooked, element of
traditional and quantitative Long/Short equity strategies employed by
hedge funds.
When used properly, it should serve as a key component of the risk
management process, seeking to preserve investor capital by locking in
gains and preventing/minimizing any potential drawdowns.
Design and use of Portfolio Insurance can be outlined in the following steps:
• Identify Hedging Needs
• Hedge Valuation/Optimization
• Hedge Implementation
5
6. Hedge Identification
Determine key underlying risk(s):
• Entire/partial portfolio
• Net Beta exposure
• Volatility/Correlation risk
• Binary Event risk
• Tail risk
Underlying Strategy Time Horizon:
• Short Term (1-2 days)
• Medium Term (3 days – 1 week)
• Long Term (1 week+ )
Additional Consideration Factors:
• Momentum/Mean-Reversion Indicators
• Directional Indicators
Identifying all contributing factors in systematic fashion allows for efficient pricing,
construction and optimization of strategy hedges.
6
7. Hedge Valuation/Optimization
• Determine prevailing levels of implied volatility in the marketplace.
Valuation
• Can use simple comparisons to historical means or multi-factor
valuation model, using both technical and fundamental inputs.
• Develop Optimal Hedge given market levels, strategy timeframe,
available liquidity (stock-by-stock, group of underlyings or Portfoliowide) and additional indicators.
• Simple Hedges (Fixed-Strike Index Collar, Put Spread Collar).
Optimization
• Complex Hedges (Dynamic Index/Sector ETF Collar, Index
Variance, Futures and Options on Volatility (VIX), Synthetic
Correlation Plays, Customized OTC Instruments).
