  • Mathematical Finance
    Mathematical Finance 6.1I nterest and Effective Rates In this section, you will learn about various ways to solve simple and compound interest problems related to bank accounts and calculate the effective rate of interest. Upon completion you will be able to: • Apply the simple interest formula to various financial scenarios. • Apply the continuously compounded interest formula to various financial scenarios. • State the difference between simple interest and compound interest. • Use technology to solve compound interest problems, not involving continuously compound interest. • Compute the effective rate of interest, using technology when possible. • Compare multiple accounts using the effective rates of interest/effective annual yields. Working with Simple Interest It costs money to borrow money. The rent one pays for the use of money is called interest. The amount of money that is being borrowed or loaned is called the principal or present value. Interest, in its simplest form, is called simple interest and is paid only on the original amount borrowed. When the money is loaned out, the person who borrows the money generally pays a fixed rate of interest on the principal for the time period the money is kept. Although the interest rate is often specified for a year, annual percentage rate, it may be specified for a week, a month, or a quarter, etc. When a person pays back the money owed, they pay back the original amount borrowed plus the interest earned on the loan, which is called the accumulated amount or future value. Definition Simple interest is the interest that is paid only on the principal, and is given by I = Prt where, I = Interest earned or paid P = Present value or Principal r = Annual percentage rate (APR) changed to a decimal* t = Number of years* *The units of time for r and t must be the same.

The Law and Economics of Hedge Funds: Financial Innovation and Investor Protection Houman B. Shadab t Abstract: A persistent theme underlying contemporary debates about financial regulation is how to protect investors from the growing complexity of financial markets, new risks, and other changes brought about by financial innovation. Increasingly relevant to this debate are the leading innovators of complex investment strategies known as hedge funds. A hedge fund is a private investment company that is not subject to the full range of restrictions on investment activities and disclosure obligations imposed by federal securities laws, that compensates management in part with a fee based on annual profits, and typically engages in the active trading offinancial instruments. Hedge funds engage in financial innovation by pursuing novel investment strategies that lower market risk (beta) and may increase returns attributable to manager skill (alpha). Despite the funds' unique costs and risk properties, their historical performance suggests that the ultimate result of hedge fund innovation is to help investors reduce economic losses during market downturns.

  • An Introduction to Financial Econometrics
    An introduction to financial econometrics Jianqing Fan Department of Operation Research and Financial Engineering Princeton University Princeton, NJ 08544 November 14, 2004 What is the financial econometrics? This simple question does not have a simple answer. The boundary of such an interdisciplinary area is always moot and any attempt to give a formal definition is unlikely to be successful. Broadly speaking, financial econometrics is to study quantitative problems arising from finance. It uses sta- tistical techniques and economic theory to address a variety of problems from finance. These include building financial models, estimation and inferences of financial models, volatility estimation, risk management, testing financial economics theory, capital asset pricing, derivative pricing, portfolio allocation, risk-adjusted returns, simulating financial systems, hedging strategies, among others. Technological invention and trade globalization have brought us into a new era of financial markets. Over the last three decades, enormous number of new financial products have been created to meet customers’ demands. For example, to reduce the impact of the fluctuations of currency exchange rates on a firm’s finance, which makes its profit more predictable and competitive, a multinational corporation may decide to buy the options on the future of foreign exchanges; to reduce the risk of price fluctuations of a commodity (e.g. lumbers, corns, soybeans), a farmer may enter into the future contracts of the commodity; to reduce the risk of weather exposures, amuse parks (too hot or too cold reduces the number of visitors) and energy companies may decide to purchase the financial derivatives based on the temperature. An important milestone is that in the year 1973, the world’s first options exchange opened in Chicago.

CHALLENGES IN MACRO-FINANCE MODELING DON H. KIM∗ Abstract. This paper discusses various challenges in the specification and implemen- tation of “macro-finance” models in which macroeconomic variables and term structure variables are modeled together in a no-arbitrage framework. I classify macro-finance models into pure latent-factor models (“internal basis models”) and models which have observed macroeconomic variables as state variables (“external basis models”), and examine the underlying assumptions behind these models. Particular attention is paid to the issue of unspanned short-run fluctuations in macro variables and their poten- tially adverse effect on the specification of external basis models. I also discuss the challenge of addressing features like structural breaks and time-varying inflation uncer- tainty. Empirical difficulties in the estimation and evaluation of macro-finance models are also discussed in detail. 1. introduction In recent years there has been much interest in developing “macro-finance models”, in which yields on nominal bonds are jointly modeled with one or more macroeconomic variables within a no-arbitrage framework.

  • Careers in Quantitative Finance by Steven E
    Careers in Quantitative Finance by Steven E. Shreve1 August 2018 1 What is Quantitative Finance? Quantitative finance as a discipline emerged in the 1980s. It is also called financial engineering, financial mathematics, mathematical finance, or, as we call it at Carnegie Mellon, computational finance. It uses the tools of mathematics, statistics, and computer science to solve problems in finance. Computational methods have become an indispensable part of the finance in- dustry. Originally, mathematical modeling played the dominant role in com- putational finance. Although this continues to be important, in recent years data science and machine learning have become more prominent. Persons working in the finance industry using mathematics, statistics and computer science have come to be known as quants. Initially relegated to peripheral roles in finance firms, quants have now taken center stage. No longer do traders make decisions based solely on instinct. Top traders rely on sophisticated mathematical models, together with analysis of the current economic and financial landscape, to guide their actions. Instead of sitting in front of monitors \following the market" and making split-second decisions, traders write algorithms that make these split- second decisions for them. Banks are eager to hire \quantitative traders" who know or are prepared to learn this craft. While trading may be the highest profile activity within financial firms, it is not the only critical function of these firms, nor is it the only place where quants can find intellectually stimulating and rewarding careers. I present below an overview of the finance industry, emphasizing areas in which quantitative skills play a role.

  • Financial Mathematics
    Financial Mathematics Alec Kercheval (Chair, Florida State University) Ronnie Sircar (Princeton University) Jim Sochacki (James Madison University) Tim Sullivan (Economics, Towson University) Introduction Financial Mathematics developed in the mid-1980s as research mathematicians became interested in problems, largely involving stochastic control, that had until then been studied primarily by economists. The subject grew slowly at first and then more rapidly from the mid- 1990s through to today as mathematicians with backgrounds first in probability and control, then partial differential equations and numerical analysis, got into it and discovered new issues and challenges. A society of mostly mathematicians and some economists, the Bachelier Finance Society, began in 1997 and holds biannual world congresses. The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) started an Activity Group in Financial Mathematics & Engineering in 2002; it now has about 800 members. The 4th SIAM conference in this area was held jointly with its annual meeting in Minneapolis in 2013, and attracted over 300 participants to the Financial Mathematics meeting. In 2009 the SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics was launched and it has been very successful gauged by numbers of submissions. Student interest grew enormously over the same period, fueled partly by the growing financial services sector of modern economies. This growth created a demand first for quantitatively trained PhDs (typically physicists); it then fostered the creation of a large number of Master’s programs around the world, especially in Europe and in the U.S. At a number of institutions undergraduate programs have developed and become quite popular, either as majors or tracks within a mathematics major, or as joint degrees with Business or Economics.
