2 Origin of Portfolio Insurance The Evolution of Portfolio Insurance Recent developments Outline of the further talk Portfolio Insurance Leland and Rubinstein (1976), The Evolution of Portfolio Insurance Obervation After the decline of , many pension funds had withdrawn from the market (only to miss the rally in 1975) Idea If only insurance were available, those funds could be attracted back to the market Brennan and Schwartz (1976), The Pricing of Equity Linked Life Insurance Policies with an Asset Value Guarantee Repeated revival of portfolio insurance (PI) Increasing commercial feasibility (decreasing costs of trading and product innovations) Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 2/31
3 OBPI versus CPPI Motivation and Problem Option based portfolio insurance (OBPI) Protection with options Protective put strategies (static or rolling) Synthetic option strategies Kinked solution The Evolution of Portfolio Insurance Recent developments Outline of the further talk Constant proportion portfolio insurance (CPPI) Protection without options Dynamic portfolio of underlying and risk free asset Cushion C management technique Cushion = difference between portfolio value V and floor F Leverage/multiplier m Exposure E in the risky asset: E = m C Smooth solution Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 3/31
4 Important results Motivation and Problem The Evolution of Portfolio Insurance Recent developments Outline of the further talk Diffusion model setup (no jumps) Objective: Maximize expected utility OBPI (C)PPI El Karoui et al. (2005) Terminal wealth constraint Optimal solution: Reduction of initial investment (to finance the put option), apply optimal portfolio weights from the unrestricted problem to the reduced initial investment Terminal guarantee defines a subsistence level (floor is growing with the risk free interest rate) Optimal solution: use optimal portfolio weights from the unrestricted problem as multiple (apply them to the cushion) Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 4/31
5 The Evolution of Portfolio Insurance Recent developments Outline of the further talk Advantages (disadvantages) of (C)PPI method Advantages (disadvantages) of (C)PPI method Trade off between risk and return PI investor must give up upward participation to achieve the downward protection Disadvantage of (C)PPI Asymptotically, the investor gives up more upward participation than OBPI investor Put option is cheaper than zero bond (kinked vs smooth solution) Advantage of (C)PPI Simple investment rule (less demanding than synthesizing an option payoff) Easy to explain to the customer (C)PPI can be applied to an infinite investment horizon Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 5/31
6 Recent developments The Evolution of Portfolio Insurance Recent developments Outline of the further talk Recent developments or popular features in (C)PPI investments Constraints on the investment level Minimum level of investment in the risky asset Constraints on the leverage Borrowing restrictions Variable and straight line floors Locking in of profits (ratcheting) Variable multiples Products allow for the multiple to vary over time in relation to the volatility of the risky asset Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 6/31
7 Outline of the further talk The Evolution of Portfolio Insurance Recent developments Outline of the further talk Outline of the further talk Optimality of (constant) proportion portfolio insurance strategies Optimization criteria Black and Scholes model (constant multiple) Stochastic volatility models (constant vs variable multiple) Evaluation of CPPI (constant multiple) vs PPI (time varying multiple) by means of real data (Joint work with Sven Balder and Daniel Zieling) Transaction costs Impacts of transaction costs (deterministic trading dates) Optimal trading filter (stochastic trading dates) Evaluation of trigger strategies w.r.t. performance measures (other than the optimization objective) (Joint work with Sven Balder) Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 7/31
8 Optimization criteria Optimization criteria Growth optimal leverage Equity risk premium Return data (S&P500 price index) Optimization criteria Examples: Main objectives Expected utility Special case: Expected growth rate (logarithmic utility) Performance measures Examples: Additional constraints on (Maximal and/or minimal) investment fraction (Maximal) shortfall probability (VaR, expected shortfall) (Maximal) turnover Keep it simple: Consider the growth rate of the cushion (logarithmic utility) without additional restrictions 1 T ln C T C 0 Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 8/31
9 Optimization criteria Growth optimal leverage Equity risk premium Return data (S&P500 price index) Growth rate (Black and Scholes model) Growth rate (Black and Scholes model) Black and Scholes model (constant drift µ and volatility σ) for the index dynamics S Growth rate of buy and hold strategy 1 T ln S T S 0 N ( µ, σ) where µ = µ 1 2 σ2 Consider a constant leverage m (on the cushion) Cushion dynamics C is also lognormal Growth rate of leveraged strategy (cushion) 1 T ln C T m ( 1 C0 m = φ(m) + m T ln S ) T S 0 where φ(m) = (m 1) (r + 12 ) mσ2 Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 9/31
10 Optimization criteria Growth optimal leverage Equity risk premium Return data (S&P500 price index) Growth optimal leverage (Black and Scholes model) Growth optimal leverage (Black and Scholes model) Leverage m implies a correction term < 0 for m > 1 convex strategy = 0 for m = 1 linear strategy > 0 for m < 1 concave strategy Convex strategy (momentum strategy) Buy high and sell low Performance is penalized by round turns of the risky asset Is only optimal if the volatility is not too high (in comparison to the excess return of the risky asset) Growth optimal leverage m = µ r σ 2 = µ r σ 2 Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 10/31

21 Transaction costs Motivation and Problem Transaction costs and portfolio insurance Transaction costs and volatility adjustments Optimal trigger level Transaction costs... are important in the context of PI strategies Reduction (increase) of the asset exposure in falling (rising) markets Investor suffers from any round turn of the asset price Volatility has a negative impact on the return Effect is particularly severe if there are in addition transaction costs, i.e. the effect is even leveraged by the transaction costs Intuition (PPI): Growth optimal multiple under transaction costs is lower than without transaction costs Comparison to OBPI: Accounting of transaction costs implies higher option prices Reduction of initial investment (to finance the put option) is higher Lower leverage Prof. Dr. Antje Mahayni Evaluation of proportional portfolio insurance strategies 18/31
