Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Börse, Versicherung, Note: 1,7, Universität Bayreuth, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die US-Hypothekenkrise des vergangenen Jahres führte weltweit zu einem hohen Kursverfall an den Aktienmärkten und nach Schätzungen der Asiatischen Entwicklungsbank (ADB) damit zu Verlusten in Höhe von 50 Billionen Dollar bei den Anlegern. Damit rückt das originäre Motiv der Geldanlage, nämlich die Erzielung absolut positiver Renditen, wieder stärker in den Fokus der Investoren. Die Investmentbranche trägt diesen veränderten Anlegerbedürfnissen durch die Entwicklung vielfältiger Anlagekonzepte Rechnung, die zur Abgrenzung von traditionellen Anlagekonzepten mit den Attributen "Absolute Return" oder "Total Return" versehen werden . Damit ist in den letzten fünf Jahren der Markt für in Deutschland zum Vertrieb zugelassene Absolute Return Produkte um durchschnittlich 37% pro Jahr gewachsen und umfasst nun ein Volumen von mehr als 33 Milliarden Euro. Verstärkt wird diese Entwicklung in Deutschland durch die Liberalisierung des Marktes im Zuge des Investmentmodernisierungsgesetzes von 2004, das erstmalig den Einsatz von Derivaten in Fondskonzepten sowie bei Pensionseinrichtungen und Versicherungen erlaubt. Diese starken Wachstumsraten werfen die Frage auf, mit welchen Strategien absolute Erträge erwirtschaftet werden und ob dieses Anlagekonzept eine ernsthafte Alternative zum benchmarkorientierten Portfolio Management darstellt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beleuchtet ausgehend von dem von Dichtl und Schlenger (2009) verfassten Aufsatz "Absolute Return: Theorie und Empirie am Beispiel der Best-of-two Stragie" das Konzept des Absolute Return Versprechens näher. Ziel ist es, den Ansatz und die zentralen Strategien, mit denen Anbieter von Absolute Return Produkten diesem Anspruch gerecht werden, darzulegen und abschließend kritisch zu würdigen. Dazu wird im 2. Kapitel zunächst eine begriffliche Abgrenzung des Absolute Return Approach zu traditionellen Anlageformen vorgenommen, um dann abgeleitet aus dem Anlegerinteresse Zielkriterien für Handelsstrategien zu definieren und zu erläutern. Im 3. Kapitel folgt eine Systematisierung zentraler Strategien und Substrategien sowie eine ausführliche Darstellung einer ausgewählten Strategie (Event Driven). Im 4. Kapitel werden Grenzen des Absolute Return Approach und der Strategien aufgezeigt, wobei besonderer Fokus auf dem Risikoverständnis eines Absolute Return Anlegers liegt. Schließlich werden im 5.Kapitel die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zusammenfassend dargestellt, kritisch betrachtet und ein Ausblick gewährt.
In Asymmetric Returns, financial expert Alexander Ineichen elevates the critical discussion about alpha versus beta and absolute returns versus relative returns. He argues that controlling downside volatility is a key element in asset management if sustainable positive compounding of capital and financial survival are major objectives. Achieving sustainable positive absolute returns are the result of taking and managing risk wisely, that is, an active risk management process where risk is defined in absolute terms and changes in the market place are accounted for. The result of an active risk management process-when successful-is an asymmetric return profile, that is, more and higher returns on the upside and fewer and lower returns on the downside. Ineichen claims that achieving Asymmetric Returns is the future of active asset management. Alexander M. Ineichen, CFA, CAIA, is Managing Director and Senior Investment Officer for the Alternative Investment Solutions team, a key provider within Alternative and Quantitative Investments, itself a business within UBS Global Asset Management. He is also on the Board of Directors of the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association (CAIAA). Ineichen is the author of the two UBS research publications In Search of Alpha—Investing in Hedge Funds (October 2000) and The Search for Alpha Continues—Do Fund of Hedge Funds Add Value? (September 2001). As of 2006 these two reports were the most often printed research papers in the documented history of UBS. He is also author of the widely popular Absolute Returns—The Risk and Opportunities of Hedge Fund Investing, also published by John Wiley & Sons.

The investing strategy that famously generates higher returns with substantially reduced risk--presented by the investor who invented it "A treasure of well researched momentum-driven investing processes." Gregory L. Morris, Chief Technical Analyst and Chairman, Investment Committee of Stadion Money Management, LLC, and author of Investing with the Trend Dual Momentum Investing details the author’s own momentum investing method that combines U.S. stock, world stock, and aggregate bond indices--a formula proven to dramatically increase profits while lowering risk. Antonacci reveals how momentum investors could have achieved long-run returns nearly twice as high as the stock market over the past 40 years, while avoiding or minimizing bear market losses--and he provides the information and insight investors need to achieve such success going forward. His methodology is designed to pick up on major changes in relative strength and market trend. Gary Antonacci has over 30 years experience as an investment professional focusing on under exploited investment opportunities. In 1990, he founded Portfolio Management Consultants, which advises private and institutional investors on asset allocation, portfolio optimization, and advanced momentum strategies. He writes and runs the popular blog and website optimalmomentum.com. Antonacci earned his MBA at Harvard.
This book discusses dynamical systems that are typically driven by stochastic dynamic noise. It is written by two statisticians essentially for the statistically inclined readers. It covers many of the contributions made by the statisticians in the past twenty years or so towards our understanding of estimation, the Lyapunov-like index, the nonparametric regression, and many others, many of which are motivated by their dynamical system counterparts but have now acquired a distinct statistical flavor.
Liquid markets generate hundreds or thousands of ticks (the minimum change in price a security can have, either up or down) every business day. Data vendors such as Reuters transmit more than 275,000 prices per day for foreign exchange spot rates alone. Thus, high-frequency data can be a fundamental object of study, as traders make decisions by observing high-frequency or tick-by-tick data. Yet most studies published in financial literature deal with low frequency, regularly spaced data. For a variety of reasons, high-frequency data are becoming a way for understanding market microstructure. This book discusses the best mathematical models and tools for dealing with such vast amounts of data. This book provides a framework for the analysis, modeling, and inference of high frequency financial time series. With particular emphasis on foreign exchange markets, as well as currency, interest rate, and bond futures markets, this unified view of high frequency time series methods investigates the price formation process and concludes by reviewing techniques for constructing systematic trading models for financial assets.
