Subject: Conference: Challenges in Derivatives Markets
(...)
================================
Conference at TUM (March 30 -- April 01, 2015): Challenges in
Derivatives Markets: Fixed income modeling, valuation adjustments,
risk management, and regulation
================================
Dear colleagues,
it is our pleasure to announce the conference “Challenges in
Derivatives Markets: Fixed income modeling, valuation adjustments,
risk management, and regulation”, for which we would like to invite
you as contributed speaker or visitor. The conference will take place
at Technische Universität München, March 30 – April 01, 2015.
Thanks to our generous sponsor KPMG, the registration fee for the
3-day event is only 155 Euro.
We are especially proud having
· Damiano Brigo,
· Stéphane Crépey,
· Ernst Eberlein,
· John Hull,
· Wolfgang Runggaldier,
· Luis Seco,
· Thorsten Schmidt, and
· Wim Schoutens
among the confirmed speakers. So we are looking forward to an
extraordinary scientific event to which we hope you will contribute
with your presentation/attendance.
The aim of the conference is to provide a venue for practitioners and
academics working with derivatives to present state-of-the-art
research, exchange ideas, and share visions on future developments in
the field. The first focal point of the conference will be on recent
developments in interest-rate modeling and derivatives pricing.
Various types of multi-curve term structure models and especially
post-crisis extensions of the Libor market model will be discussed.
The second focus will be put on counterparty and liquidity risk in a
global derivatives market. Derivative valuation and risk management in
the presence of collateral and liquidity issues will be the central
topics with special regard to valuation adjustments such as CVA
(credit valuation adjustment), DVA (debt valuation adjustment), FVA
(funding valuation adjustment), and other XVAs as well as their
interplay. Emphasis will be put on modeling and pricing, as well as
risk management and regulatory aspects. More information is given on
the website
http://www.mathfinance.ma.tum.de/kpmgce/conference-challenges-in-derivative…
To facilitate the organization of the event, your registration by
December 20, 2014 is highly appreciated. If you are interested in
providing a contributed talk (these will most likely take place on
Wednesday, April 01, 2015), please provide us an abstract/paper of
your presentation.

************************************************************************
Date: November 12 (Wednesday), 2014, 4:00 pm
Location: Bank Gutmann, Schwarzenbergplatz 16, A-1010 Vienna
Speaker: Prof. Amit Goyal, http://www.hec.unil.ch/agoyal/
Title: Is the Cross-Section of Expected Bond Returns Influenced by Equity Return
Predictors?
ABSTRACT:
Using a comprehensive cross-section and time-series of corporate bond returns assembled
from multiple data sources, we analyze whether commonly analyzed equity return predictors
also predict bond returns. There is a surprisingly strong monthly lead from equity to bond
returns, indicating that new information gets reflected in the equity market first. In
univariate portfolio sorts, net equity issues are positively priced in the bond market,
consistent with the notion that equity is preferred when bond market is undervalued.
Profitability is negatively priced while idiosyncratic equity volatility is positively priced in the
corporate bond market, suggesting that profitable and relatively less volatile firms are more
attractive to bond investors, thus requiring lower returns. Our results indicate that the bond
markets do price risk, but also are susceptible to delayed information transmission relative
to equities. Finally, consistent with a relatively sophisticated institutional clientele, bonds
are efficiently priced in that none of the behaviorally-motivated variables predict returns
after accounting for transactions costs, though some risk-based variables continue to do so.
About Amit Goyal:
Amit Goyal is professor of finance at the University of Lausanne where he holds a senior
chair from the Swiss Finance Institute. Formerly on the faculty of the Goizueta Business
School at Emory University (USA), he has a Ph.D. in Finance from the University of California
at Los Angeles (USA). His research interests are in empirical asset pricing and pension funds.
His papers have been published in a variety of academic journals including the Journal of
Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics, and the Review of Financial Studies. He is the
co-editor of Journal of Financial Markets and an associate editor at the Review of Finance.
