  • Dynamic Strategic Arbitrage∗

    Dynamic Strategic Arbitrage∗

    Dynamic Strategic Arbitrage∗ Vincent Fardeauy Frankfurt School of Finance and Managment This version: June 11, 2014 Abstract Asset prices do not adjust instantaneously following uninformative demand or supply shocks. This paper offers a theory based on arbitrageurs' price impact to explain these slow-moving cap- ital dynamics. Arbitrageurs recognizing their price impact break up trades, leading to gradual price adjustments. When shocks are anticipated, prices exhibit a V-shaped pattern, with a peak at the realization of the shocks. The dynamics of market depth and price adjustments depend on the degree of competition between arbitrageurs. When shocks are uncertain, price dynamics depend on the interaction between arbitrageurs' competition and the total risk-bearing capacity of the market. JEL codes: G12, G20, L12; Keywords: Strategic arbitrage, liquidity, price impact, limits of arbitrage. ∗I benefited from comments from Miguel Ant´on,Bruno Biais, Maria-Cecilia Bustamante, Amil Dasgupta, Michael Gordy, Martin Oehmke (discussant), Matt Pritsker, Jean-Charles Rochet, Yuki Sato, Kostas Zachariadis, Jean-Pierre Zigrand and seminar and conference participants at LSE, INSEAD, FRB, the University of Zurich and the 2013 AFA meetings in San Diego.

    Optimal Convergence Trading with Unobservable Pricing Errors

    OPTIMAL CONVERGENCE TRADING WITH UNOBSERVABLE PRICING ERRORS SÜHAN ALTAY, KATIA COLANERI, AND ZEHRA EKSI Abstract. We study a dynamic portfolio optimization problem related to convergence trading, which is an investment strategy that exploits temporary mispricing by simultane- ously buying relatively underpriced assets and selling short relatively overpriced ones with the expectation that their prices converge in the future. We build on the model of Liu and Timmermann [22] and extend it by incorporating unobservable Markov-modulated pricing errors into the price dynamics of two co-integrated assets. We characterize the optimal portfolio strategies in full and partial information settings both under the assumption of unrestricted and beta-neutral strategies. By using the innovations approach, we provide the filtering equation that is essential for solving the optimization problem under partial information. Finally, in order to illustrate the model capabilities, we provide an example with a two-state Markov chain. 1. Introduction Convergence-type trading strategies have become one of the most popular trading strate- gies that are used to capitalize on market inefficiencies, or deviations from “equilibrium,” especially with the rapid developments in algorithmic and high-frequency trading. For a typical convergence trade, temporary mispricing is exploited by simultaneously buying rel- atively underpriced assets and selling short relatively overpriced assets in anticipation that at some future date their prices will have become closer. Thus one can profit by the extent of the convergence. A prime example of a convergence trade is a pairs trading strategy that involves a long position and a short position in a pair of similar stocks that have moved together historically and hence an investor can profit from the relative value trade arising arXiv:1910.01438v2 [q-fin.PM] 7 Oct 2019 from the cointegration between asset price dynamics involved in the trade.

    Optimal Convergence Trade Strategies∗ Jun Liu† Allan Timmermann‡ UC San Diego and SAIF UC San Diego and CREATES October4,2012 Abstract Convergence trades exploit temporary mispricing by simultaneously buying relatively un- derpriced assets and selling short relatively overpriced assets. This paper studies optimal con- vergence trades under both recurring and non-recurring arbitrage opportunities represented by continuing and ‘stopped’ cointegrated price processes and considers both fixed and stochastic (Poisson) horizons. We demonstrate that conventional long-short delta neutral strategies are generally suboptimal and show that it can be optimal to simultaneously go long (or short) in two mispriced assets. We also find that the optimal portfolio holdings critically depend on whether the risky asset position is liquidated when prices converge. Our theoretical results are illustrated using parameters estimated on pairs of Chinese bank shares that are traded on both the Hong Kong and China stock exchanges. We find that the optimal convergence trade strategy can yield economically large gains compared to a delta neutral strategy. Key words: convergence trades; risky arbitrage; delta neutrality; optimal portfolio choice ∗The paper was previously circulated under the title Optimal Arbitrage Strategies.

  • Asset Pricing with Arbitrage Activity∗

    Asset Pricing with Arbitrage Activity∗

    Asset pricing with arbitrage activity∗ Julien Hugonniery Rodolfo Prietoz Forthcoming: Journal of Financial Economics Abstract We study an economy populated by three groups of myopic agents: Constrained agents subject to a portfolio constraint that limits their risk-taking, unconstrained agents subject to a standard nonnegative wealth constraint, and arbitrageurs with access to a credit facility. Such credit is valuable as it allows arbitrageurs to exploit the limited arbitrage opportunities that emerge endogenously in reaction to the demand imbalance generated by the portfolio constraint. The model is solved in closed-form and we show that, in contrast to existing models with frictions and logarithmic agents, arbitrage activity has an impact on the price level and generates both excess volatility and the leverage effect. We show that these results are due to the fact that arbitrageurs amplify fundamental shocks by levering up in good times and deleveraging in bad times.

    Speed Of Trade And Arbitrage Ariel Lohr, September 2018 Abstract: We employ a theoretical microstructue model with overconfident traders (Kyle, Obizhaeva, Wang 2017) to demonstrate how market differences effect an arbitrageurs abil- ity/willingness to engage in price correcting trades. The markets differ in the rates at which traders adjust their inventories towards their target levels, "trading speeds". The extent to which trading speed differences across markets effect the degree of price convergence or diver- gence depends on the arbitrageur's preexisting positions in each market. If the arbitrageur trades towards their target in each market at the same prevailing speed the prices converge. Trading speeds are found to be time invariant and the effect of a financial constraint on the arbitrageur increases in the difference between market speeds. 1 1 Introduction This paper contemplates how differences in markets effects an arbitrageurs ability or will- ingness to engage in price correcting trading, enforcing the law of one price. Theoretically if we take some arbitrary return r multiply it by the stochastic dis- count factor m and take the expectation of the product we should recover the fundamental pricing equation 1 = hmri (Cochrane 2009). Any asset pricing model, H : returns ! prices, amounts to an estimation of the homomorphism hm · i which maps elements of a return space to some price space with any r2 = ker(H) being seen as a mispricing in the eyes of the model. Since prices effect returns, asset pricing models amount to restrictions on the price gener- ating process. In reality prices are the results of trading games (i.e.
