4 Introduction Background Two types of trading system: Dealer market: Dealer (market maker) trades with other market participants with his/her own account (proprietary trading). Brokered market: Broker sets price just to clear orders from other market participants (no proprietary trading). Unclear which system is better for investors from the viewpoint of market activity, market liquidity, welfare of investors, etc. To answer the above question, the eect of proprietary trading needs to be examined. ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.)

5 Introduction Literature review (1) Theoretical papers: Röell (1990), Fishman and Longsta (1992), Sarkar (1995), Viswanathan and Wang (2002), Bernhardt and Taub (2010). Agent setting the price is dierent from the one collecting transaction fees. Price setter is risk-neutral and perfectly competitive, implying that p = E[v F M ]. Empirical papers: Transaction fees are independent of the order amount. Pagano and Röell (1992, 1996), Huang and Stoll (1996), Heidle and Huang (2002). Result depends on the papers. ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.) Monopolistic Dealer versus Broker March 21, / 42

8 Introduction Aim of this study In this paper, we construct a one-shot CARA-Normal model with innitely many investors, a monopolistic and risk-averse dealer/broker who collects transaction fees. examine the eect of proprietary trading on equilibrium solutions. Main results: Proprietary trading always increases total welfare of investors. Economic interpretation: dealer sets a favorable price for investors to seek prots by proprietary trading. ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.) Monopolistic Dealer versus Broker March 21, / 42

9 Model Setup Model Setup ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.) Monopolistic Dealer versus Broker March 21, / 42

10 Model Setup Financial Market There is only one risky asset. Risk-free interest rate is assume to be zero for simplicity. v: (random) payo of the risky asset. Two types of market participants: investors, a dealer or a broker. ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.) Monopolistic Dealer versus Broker March 21, / 42

11 Model Setup Investors Let I denote the set of investors. {ω i } i I IIDN( ω,σ 2 ω): initial endowment of investors (Kim and Verrecchia, 1991). F i : information set of investor i. v N(µ i,σv 2 ). Fi Beliefs are heterogeneous with respect to the mean of v. Utility of investor i: U i = 1 [ (E a log e ay i where Y i is the nal wealth of investor i. ]) F i ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.) Monopolistic Dealer versus Broker March 21, / 42

12 Model Setup Dealer or broker Monopolistic. Collects transaction fees ($c per unit trade). Sets the price p for investors. F M : information set of dealer/broker. v N(µ M,σM 2 ). FM Utility function: U M = 1 ]) (E [e γ log γr(p,c) FM where R(p, c) is the nal wealth of the dealer (broker). ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.) Monopolistic Dealer versus Broker March 21, / 42

13 Model Setup Investor's utility maximization x i : trading amount of investor i. Y i is given by where sgn is the sign function. Y i = vω i + (v p)x i sgn[x i ]x i c, Since only v is random in Y i with respect to F i, x i can be solved as x i (p, c) = ω i }{{} + µ i p sgn[x i (p, c)]c. aσv 2 risk hedging }{{} prot seeking Let ζ i = µ i aσv 2 ω i. Then, we can rewrite x ζ i (p + c) ζ i (p c) i (p, c) = 1 {ζi >p+c} + 1 aσ {ζi <p c}. v 2 aσv 2 ζ i : investor i's subjective belief adjusted by inventory risk. ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.)

16 Model Setup Remark The utility of the dealer is higher than the one of the broker: Dealer has an additional control variable (the price p). The eect of proprietary trading by the dealer on investors is not so apparent: Dealer has a monopolistic power and may set an unfavorable price and transaction fees for investors. ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.)

We also assume that µ i N(µ I,σ 2 I ) in I and independent of {ω i }. Can be justied by the central limit theorem if the belief biases of investors are IID (Hellwig, 1980). We dened ζ i = µ i aσ 2 v ω i : ζ i N(µ I aσ 2 v ω }{{} =µ ζ,σ 2 I + a 2 σv 4 σ 2 ω). }{{} =σ 2 ζ (risk-adjusted) belief ζ i solely represents heterogeneity in the model. ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.)

39 Conclusion Conclusion Research question: How does proprietary trading aects a nancial market with a monopolistic dealer/broker? Answer: It has a positive eect on both a monopolistic dealer and investors. Why? Prot seeking by dealer with proprietary trading induces a more favorable price for the average investor. ishide and Tian (YNU and Ryukoku U.) Monopolistic Dealer versus Broker March 21, / 42
