Emerging phenomena of ubiquitous multisource data offer promising avenues for making breakthroughs in financial risk prediction. While most existing methods for financial risk prediction are based on a single information source, which may not adequately capture various complex factors that jointly influence financial risks, we propose a hybrid-strategy-based self-adaptive method to effectively leverage heterogeneous soft information drawn from a variety of sources. The method uses a proposed new feature- sparsity learning method to adaptively integrate multisource heterogeneous soft features with hard features and a proposed improved evidential reasoning rule to adaptively aggregate base classifier predictions, thereby alleviating both the declarative bias and the procedural bias of the learning process. Evaluation in two cases at the individual level (concerning borrowers at a P2P lending platform) and the company level (concerning listed companies in the Chinese stock market) showed that, compared with relying solely on hard features, effectively incorporating multisource heterogeneous soft features using our proposed method enabled earlier prediction of financial risks with desirable performance.
多源数据无处不在的新现象为金融风险预测的突破提供了很好的途径。现有的大多数金融风险预测方法都是基于单一信息源,可能无法充分捕捉共同影响金融风险的各种复杂因素,我们提出了一种基于混合策略的自适应方法,以有效利用来自各种来源的异构软信息。该方法采用一种新的特征稀疏性学习方法自适应集成多源异构软特征和硬特征,并采用一种改进的证据推理规则自适应聚合基分类器预测,从而减轻了学习过程中的陈述性偏差和程序性偏差。在个人层面(关于P2P借贷平台的借款人)和公司层面(关于中国股票市场的上市公司)的两个案例中进行的评估表明,与仅仅依靠硬特征相比,使用我们提出的方法有效地结合多源异构软特征,可以更早地预测金融风险并取得理想的效果。

Deep Learning for Disentangling Liquidity-Constrained and Strategic Default 深度学习解决流动性约束和战略违约问题
Pub Date : 2020-12-26 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3755672

We disentangle liquidity-constrained default and the incentives for strategic default using Deep Neural Network (DNN) methodology on a proprietary Trepp data set of commercial mortgages. Our results are robust (insensitive) to severe Financial Crisis (2008) and plausible economic catastrophe ensuing from COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021). We demonstrate an identification strategy to retrieve the motive of default from observationally equivalent delinquency classes by bivariate analysis of default rate on Net operating income (NOI) and Loan-to-Value (LTV). NOI, appraisal reduction amount, prepayment penalty clause, balloon payment amongst others co-determine the delinquency class in highly nonlinear ways compared to more statistically significant variables such as LTV. Prediction accuracy for defaulted loans is higher when DNN is compared with other models, by increasing flexibility and relaxing the specification structure. These findings have significant implications for investors, rating agencies and policymakers.
我们使用深度神经网络(DNN)方法在商业抵押贷款的专有Trepp数据集上解开流动性约束违约和战略违约的激励。我们的结果对严重的金融危机(2008年)和COVID-19大流行(2020-2021年)可能导致的经济灾难具有稳健性(不敏感)。我们展示了一种识别策略,通过对净营业收入(NOI)和贷款价值比(LTV)的违约率进行双变量分析,从观测等值的违约类别中检索违约动机。与LTV等更具统计学意义的变量相比,NOI、评估减值金额、提前付款处罚条款、气球付款等因素以高度非线性的方式共同决定了违约类别。与其他模型相比,DNN增加了灵活性,放宽了规范结构,对违约贷款的预测精度更高。这些发现对投资者、评级机构和政策制定者具有重要意义。

Pub Date : 2020-12-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3764941

Sensitivities are the core inputs to the Standardized Approach of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) and are costly to implement and calculate for large portfolios and complex products. The internally calculated sensitivities by institutions may not be directly applicable for FRTB purpose due to different choices of risk factors. This paper introduces a new framework of defining and deriving FRTB sensitivities from the internally calculated sensitivities while keeping consistent risk measurement under the Standardized Approach framework, which will significantly improve efficiency of implementation, validation and model risk management for FRTB Standardized Approach and other similar regulatory programs, including SA-CVA (Credit Valuation Adjustment) VaR and ISDA-Standard Initial Margin Model (SIMM) etc.
敏感性是交易簿基本审查标准化方法(FRTB)的核心输入,对于大型投资组合和复杂产品的实施和计算成本很高。由于选择的风险因素不同,机构内部计算的敏感性可能并不直接适用于财务汇报税。本文引入了一个新的框架,在保持标准化方法框架下风险度量一致的同时,从内部计算的敏感性中定义和推导FRTB敏感性,这将显著提高FRTB标准化方法和其他类似监管项目的实施、验证和模型风险管理效率,包括SA-CVA (Credit Valuation Adjustment) VaR和isda标准初始保证金模型(standard Initial Margin model, SIMM)等。

Cryptocurrencies are gaining momentum in investor attention, are about to become a new asset class, and may provide a hedging alternative against the risk of devaluation of fiat currencies following the COVID-19 crisis. In order to provide a thorough understanding of this new asset class, risk indicators need to consider tail risk behaviour and the interdependencies between the cryptocurrencies not only for risk management but also for portfolio optimization. The tail risk network analysis framework proposed in the paper is able to identify individual risk characteristics and capture spillover effect in a network topology. Finally we construct tail event sensitive portfolios and consequently test the performance during an unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic.
加密货币正在获得投资者的关注,即将成为一种新的资产类别,并可能在COVID-19危机后提供一种对冲法定货币贬值风险的替代方案。为了全面了解这种新的资产类别,风险指标需要考虑尾部风险行为和加密货币之间的相互依赖关系,这不仅是为了风险管理,也是为了投资组合优化。本文提出的尾部风险网络分析框架能够识别个体风险特征并捕捉网络拓扑中的溢出效应。最后,我们构建了尾事件敏感投资组合,从而测试了在不可预见的COVID-19大流行期间的性能。

It’s Not Time To Make a Change: Sovereign Fragility and the Corporate Credit Risk 现在还不是改变的时候:主权脆弱性和企业信用风险
Pub Date : 2020-12-14 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3785620
F. Fornari, Andrea Zaghini
Relying on a perspective borrowed from monetary policy announcements and introducing an econometric twist in the traditional event study analysis, we document the existence of an .event risk transfer., namely a significant credit risk transmission from the sovereign to the corporate sector after a sovereign rating downgrade. We find that after the delivery of the downgrade, corporate CDS spreads rise by 36% per annum and there is a widespread contagion across countries, in particular among those which were most exposed to the sovereign debt crisis. This effect exists on top of the standard relation between sovereign and corporate credit risk.
我们借鉴了货币政策公告的观点,并在传统的事件研究分析中引入了计量经济学的扭曲,证明了事件风险转移的存在。,即在主权评级被下调后,信用风险从主权部门向企业部门的重大传导。我们发现,在降级后,企业CDS息差每年上升36%,并在各国之间广泛蔓延,特别是在那些受主权债务危机影响最大的国家。这种效应存在于主权信用风险与企业信用风险的标准关系之上。

Mutual Risk Sharing and Fintech: The Case of Xiang Hu Bao 风险共担与金融科技:以湘湖宝为例
Pub Date : 2020-12-08 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3781998

Xiang Hu Bao (XHB), meaning 'mutual treasury' in Chinese, is a novel online mutual aid platform operated by Alibaba's Ant Financial to facilitate mutual risk sharing of critical illness exposures. XHB reached nearly 100 million members in less than one year since its launch and so far has offered its members critical illness protections at significantly lower cost than traditional critical illness insurance. There are three major distinctions between XHB and traditional insurance products. First, XHB leverages the tech giant's platform and digital technology to lower enrollment and claim processing costs. Second, different from insurance applying sophisticated actuarial pricing models, XHB collects no premiums ex ante from members, but instead equally allocates indemnities and administrative costs among participants after each claims period. Third, XHB limits coverage amount, often below critical illness insurance products, particularly for older participants. We show this restriction potentially leads to separating equilibrium, a la Rothschild-Stiglitz, where low-risk individuals enroll in XHB while high-risk individuals purchase critical illness insurance. Data shows that the incidence rate of the covered illness among XHB members is well below that of comparable critical illness insurance. Our findings further suggest the role of advantageous selection in explaining the cost advantages of the Fintech-based mutual aid programs.
湘狐宝(XHB)是阿里巴巴旗下蚂蚁金服运营的一个新颖的在线互助平台,旨在促进危重疾病风险的相互分担。XHB在推出不到一年的时间里就拥有了近1亿名会员,迄今为止,它为会员提供的重大疾病保障成本远低于传统的重大疾病保险。XHB与传统保险产品之间有三个主要区别。首先,XHB利用科技巨头的平台和数字技术来降低注册和索赔处理成本。其次,与采用复杂精算定价模型的保险不同,XHB不预先向会员收取保费,而是在每个索赔期之后在参与者之间平均分配赔偿和管理成本。第三,XHB限制保险金额,通常低于重大疾病保险产品,特别是对于老年参与者。我们表明,这种限制可能导致分离均衡,就像罗斯柴尔德-斯蒂格利茨(Rothschild-Stiglitz)那样,低风险个体参加XHB,而高风险个体购买重大疾病保险。数据显示,在XHB成员中,所涵盖疾病的发病率远低于可比的重大疾病保险。我们的研究结果进一步表明,优势选择在解释基于金融科技的互助计划的成本优势方面的作用。

Do Multiple Credit Ratings Reduce Money Left on the Table? Evidence from U.S. IPOs 多重信用评级会减少剩余资金吗?来自美国ipo的证据

Abstract Using credit ratings as an uncertainty-reducing mechanism, we provide evidence of the beneficial impact of multiple credit ratings on reducing IPO underpricing and filing price revision. We find that the acquisition of multiple ratings in the pre-IPO period mitigates uncertainty more than the acquisition of a single rating. Multi-rated firms also have higher probabilities of survival than those with a single rating, whereas credit rating levels matter only for IPOs with more than one rating. The IPOs that are awarded the first rating on the borderline between investment and non-investment grades are more likely to seek an additional rating.
摘要本文将信用评级作为一种降低不确定性的机制,论证了多重信用评级对降低IPO过低定价和提交价格修正的有益影响。我们发现,在上市前获得多个评级比获得单一评级更能减轻不确定性。多重评级的公司也比单一评级的公司有更高的生存几率,而信用评级水平只对拥有多个评级的ipo有影响。在投资级和非投资级之间获得第一评级的ipo,更有可能寻求获得额外评级。

This article builds a new model of capital structure and nonpension investment decisions to show that regulatory and investment incentives created by accrued pension obligations exacerbate traditional agency problems between stockholders and bondholders. The article identifies conditions under which firms with accrued pension liabilities have an incentive to choose an overly risky capital structure, invest in risky projects with negative net present value, and/or under‐fund their pension accounts.

Feeling the Heat: Climate Shocks and Credit Ratings 感受热度:气候冲击和信用评级

Climate change is an existential threat to the world economy like no other, with complex, evolving and nonlinear dynamics that remain a source of great uncertainty. There is a bourgeoning literature on the economic impact of climate change, but research on how climate change affects sovereign risks is limited. Building on our previous research focusing on the impact of climate change on sovereign risks, this paper empirically investigates how climate change may affect sovereign credit ratings. By means of binary-choice models, we find that climate change vulnerability has adverse effects on sovereign credit ratings, after controlling for conventional macroeconomic determinants of credit worthiness. On the other hand, with regards to climate change resilience, we find that countries with greater climate change resilience benefit from higher (better) credit ratings. These findings, robust to a battery of sensitivity checks, also show that impact of climate change is disproportionately greater in developing countries due largely to weaker capacity to adapt to and mitigate the consequences of climate change.
气候变化是对世界经济的生存威胁,其复杂、不断演变的非线性动态仍然是巨大不确定性的来源。关于气候变化的经济影响的文献越来越多,但关于气候变化如何影响主权风险的研究却很有限。本文在前人研究气候变化对主权风险影响的基础上,实证研究了气候变化对主权信用评级的影响。通过二元选择模型,我们发现,在控制了信用价值的传统宏观经济决定因素后,气候变化脆弱性对主权信用评级有不利影响。另一方面,在气候变化适应能力方面,我们发现气候变化适应能力强的国家受益于更高(更好)的信用评级。这些研究结果通过了一系列的敏感性检验,它们还表明,气候变化对发展中国家的影响不成比例地更大,这主要是由于发展中国家适应和减轻气候变化后果的能力较弱。

Multi-portfolio Optimization: A Fairness-aware Target-oriented Model 多投资组合优化:一个具有公平性意识的目标导向模型
Pub Date : 2020-12-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3740629

We consider a multi-portfolio optimization problem where nonlinear market impact costs result in a strong dependency of one account's performance on the trading activities of other accounts. We develop a novel target-oriented model that jointly optimizes the rebalancing trades and split of market impact costs. The key advantages of our proposed model include the consideration of clients' targets on investment returns and the incorporation of distributional uncertainty. The former helps the fund manager circumvent the difficulty in identifying clients' utility functions or risk parameters, while the latter addresses a practical challenge that the probability distributions of risky asset returns cannot be fully observed. Specifically, to evaluate multiple portfolios' investment payoffs achieving their targets, we propose a new type of performance measure, called the fairness-aware multi-participant satisficing (FMS) criterion. This criterion can be extended to encompass the distributional uncertainty and has the salient feature of addressing the fairness issue with the collective satisfaction level as determined by the least satisfied participant. We find that, structurally, the FMS criterion has a dual connection with a set of risk measures. For multi-portfolio optimization, we consider the FMS criterion with conditional value-at-risk, a popular risk proxy in financial studies, being the underlying risk measure to further account for the magnitude of shortfalls against targets.

我们考虑了一个多投资组合优化问题,其中非线性市场冲击成本导致一个账户的业绩对其他账户的交易活动有很强的依赖性。我们建立了一个新的目标导向模型,共同优化再平衡交易和市场影响成本的分摊。我们提出的模型的主要优点包括考虑客户对投资回报的目标和纳入分配不确定性。前者帮助基金经理规避识别客户效用函数或风险参数的困难,而后者解决了风险资产收益的概率分布无法完全观察的实际挑战。具体来说,为了评估多个投资组合的投资回报是否达到目标,我们提出了一种新的绩效衡量标准,称为公平感知的多参与者满意度(FMS)标准。该标准可以扩展到包含分配不确定性,并且具有解决由最不满意的参与者确定的集体满意度水平的公平问题的显著特征。我们发现,从结构上讲,FMS标准与一组风险度量具有双重联系。对于多投资组合优化,我们考虑具有条件风险价值的FMS准则,这是金融研究中流行的风险代理,作为潜在的风险度量,以进一步说明与目标的差距的大小。所得到的问题虽然是非凸的,但可以通过求解一个等价的可处理子问题的收敛序列来有效地求解。数值研究表明,我们的方法在实现目标方面优于基于效用的模型,并且在样本外性能方面更具鲁棒性。
{"title":"Multi-portfolio Optimization: A Fairness-aware Target-oriented Model","authors":"G. Yu, Xiaoqiang Cai, Daniel Zhuoyu Long, Lianmin Zhang","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3740629","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3740629","url":null,"abstract":"We consider a multi-portfolio optimization problem where nonlinear market impact costs result in a strong dependency of one account's performance on the trading activities of other accounts. We develop a novel target-oriented model that jointly optimizes the rebalancing trades and split of market impact costs. The key advantages of our proposed model include the consideration of clients' targets on investment returns and the incorporation of distributional uncertainty. The former helps the fund manager circumvent the difficulty in identifying clients' utility functions or risk parameters, while the latter addresses a practical challenge that the probability distributions of risky asset returns cannot be fully observed. Specifically, to evaluate multiple portfolios' investment payoffs achieving their targets, we propose a new type of performance measure, called the fairness-aware multi-participant satisficing (FMS) criterion. This criterion can be extended to encompass the distributional uncertainty and has the salient feature of addressing the fairness issue with the collective satisfaction level as determined by the least satisfied participant. We find that, structurally, the FMS criterion has a dual connection with a set of risk measures. For multi-portfolio optimization, we consider the FMS criterion with conditional value-at-risk, a popular risk proxy in financial studies, being the underlying risk measure to further account for the magnitude of shortfalls against targets. The resulting problem, although non-convex, can be solved efficiently by solving an equivalent converging sequence of tractable subproblems. The numerical study shows that our approach outperforms utility-based models in achieving targets and is more robust in out-of-sample performance.","PeriodicalId":306152,"journal":{"name":"Risk Management eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129545097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
