1 Valuation in illiquid markets Ernst Eberlein Department of Mathematical Stochastics and Center for Data Analysis and Modeling (FDM) University of Freiburg Joint work with Dilip Madan, Martijn Pistorius, Wim Schoutens, and Marc Yor 8th World Congress of the Bachelier Finance Society Brussels June 2 6, 2014 c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 1

2 Valuation of Securities Liquid markets law of one price E Q [X] Illiquid markets ask price (upper price) bid price (lower price) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 1

3 Example for a Two Price Evaluation Consider a public debt obligation Possibility of default or other causes of illiquidity: The lender (investor) has to discount the value of the loan or bond bid price The borrower (issuer of debt) does not contemplate default: For him the obligation is risk free ask price At maturity: convergence of bid and ask Consequences: Bid price will vary with the changes in the issuer s credit status Ask price will remain relatively steady Further fact: Value depends on the direction of the trade c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 2

5 of Cashflows Outcome (cashflow) of a risky position: X random variable In perfectly liquid markets: pricing kernel given by a risk-neutral measure Q value of the position: E Q [X] position is acceptable if: E Q [X] 0 Real markets: Instead of a unique probability measure Q we have to consider a set of probability measures (scenarios) Q M E Q [X] 0 for all Q M or inf Q M E Q [X] 0 c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 4

6 Coherent Risk Measures Specification of M (test measures, generalized scenarios) Axiomatic theory of risk measures: desirable properties Monotonicity: X Y = ϱ(x) ϱ(y ) Cash invariance: ϱ(x + c) = ϱ(x) c Scale invariance: ϱ(λx) = λϱ(x), λ 0 Subadditivity: ϱ(x + Y ) ϱ(x) + ϱ(y ) Examples: Value at Risk (VaR) (not coherent) Tail-VaR (expected shortfall) Any coherent risk measure has a representation ϱ(x) = inf Q M E Q [X] c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 5

7 Operationalization Link between acceptability and concave distortions Assume the set M is convex and the operator ϱ(x) = inf E Q [X] = sup E Q [ X] Q M Q M is law invariant and comonotone (i.e. a spectral risk measure) concave distortion Ψ (i.e. a concave distribution function on [0, 1]) s.t. means then ϱ(x) = + + xdψ(f(x)) xdψ(f (x)) 0. The corresponding set of probability measures (the supporting set) is given by M = {Q P Ψ(P(A)) Q(A) Ψ(P(A)) (A A)} where Ψ(x) := 1 Ψ(1 x) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 6

8 Distortion Ψ (x) γ = 2 γ = 10 γ = 20 γ = x c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 7

9 Families of Distortions (1) Consider families of distortions (Ψ γ ) γ 0 γ stress level Example: MIN VaR Ψ γ (x) = 1 (1 x) 1+γ (0 x 1, γ 0) Statistical interpretation: Let γ be an integer, then ϱ γ(x) = E(Y ) where Y law = min{x 1,..., X γ+1 } and X 1,..., X γ+1 are independent draws of X c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 8

10 Further examples: MAX VaR Families of Distortions (2) Ψ γ (x) = x 1 1+γ (0 x 1, γ 0) Statistical interpretation: ϱ γ(x) = E[Y ] where Y is a random variable s.t. max{y 1,..., Y γ+1 } law = X and Y 1,..., Y γ+1 are independent draws of Y. Combining MIN VaR and MAX VaR: MAX MIN VaR Ψ γ (x) = (1 (1 x) 1+γ ) 1 1+γ (0 x 1, γ 0) Interpretation: ϱ γ(x) = E[Y ] with Y s.t. max{y 1,..., Y γ+1 } law = min{x 1,..., X γ+1 } c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 9

11 Families of Distortions (3) Distortion used: MIN MAX VaR ) Ψ γ (x) = 1 (1 x 1+γ 1 1+γ (0 x 1, γ 0) ϱ γ(x) = E[Y ] with Y s.t. Y law = min{z 1,..., Z γ+1 }, max{z 1,..., Z γ+1 } law = X c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 10

12 Families of Distortions (4) Ψ γ (x) γ = 0.50 γ = 0.75 γ = 1.0 γ = x c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 11

13 Marking Assets and Liabilities Assets: Cash flow to be received X 0 Largest value b(x) s.t. X b(x) is acceptable b(x) = inf Q M E Q [X] Bid price or Lower price Liabilities: Cash flow to be paid out X 0 Smallest value a(x) s.t. a(x) X is acceptable a(x) = sup E Q [X] Q M Ask price or Upper price c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 12

14 Bid Price of a cash flow X: Ask Price of a cash flow X: Explicit Pricing b(x) = a(x) = Examples: Calls and Puts bc(k, t) = ac(k, t) = bp(k, t) = ap(k, t) = of X b(x) xdψ(f X (x)) of a(x) X K K K 0 K 0 xdψ(1 F X ( x)) ( 1 Ψ(FSt (x)) ) dx Ψ(1 F St (x))dx ( 1 Ψ(1 FSt (x)) ) dx Ψ(F St (x))dx c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 13

17 Solution of the PIDE tu + A T t u = 0 u(0) = g Desirable properties in the case of models for finance: unbounded domains (domain is the range of the process L) initial condition should cover a large range of options (literature: polynomial boundedness, Lipschitz-continuity,... ) variational solution (numerical calculation) dampening of the payoff g L 2 η := {u L 1 loc x u(x)e ηx L 2 } < u, v > L 2 η := u(x)v(x)e 2ηx dx Fourier transform with weights F η(ϕ) := e η F(ϕe η ) (ϕ L 2 η resp. ϕ S η) R Initial condition: g L 2 η c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 16

22 Valuation of Financial Contracts Consider a contract which pays φ(x t) at time t Denote by u(x, t) its time zero value when X 0 = x u(x, t) = E [ e rt φ(x t) X 0 = x ] risk-neutral value for constant interest rate r Assume that φ is such that applies u(x, t) is the solution of the partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) u t = L(u) ru with boundary condition u(x, 0) = φ(x) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 21

23 G-Expectations Using Distortions (1) Integral part of the PIDE R (u(x + y, t) u(x, t) u x(x, t)y) y 2 k(y)dy R } y {{ 2 } =:Y x,t where g(y) = y 2 k(y) y R 2 k(y)dy g is a probability density g(y)dy Define the distribution function F Yx,t (v) = g(y)dy where A(x, t, v) = {y Y x,t v} A(x,t,v) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 22

24 G-Expectations Using Distortions (2) Integral part of the PIDE is now Distorted expectation R R vdf Yx,t (v) vdψ(f Yx,t (v)) which by decomposition can be written as 0 Ψ(P g (Y x,t v))dv + Define the new (distorted) operator 0 (1 Ψ(P g (Y x,t v)))dv G QV u(x) = α u 0 x (x) Ψ(P g (Y x,t v))dv+ and solve the (distorted) PIDE u t = G QV (u) ru 0 (1 Ψ(P g (Y x,t 0)))dv c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 23
