PUBLIC LECTURE:
(Apologies for any cross-listings!):
Date: OCTOBER 30th, 2006 (Monday), 4.00 pm

Title: LESSONS FROM HEDGE FUND REGISTRATION
Abstract:
In February, 2006, hedge funds operating in the U.S. were required to
register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This paper
addresses the question of the relevance of the information contained in
these filings. We find that hedge funds filing with the SEC had better
past performance and more assets than non-filers - supporting the
assertion that filing is a potential signal of quality. We also find a
strong positive association between potential conflicts and past legal
and regulatory problems - supporting that SEC filings provides
information relevant to detecting operational risk. Finally we find that
while information contained in SEC filings may be redundant to some
market participants such as creditors, it may be very useful to hedge
fund investors.

Prof. Ashley Wang from UC Irvine is giving a VGSF research seminar on "Asset
Pricing and Mispricing" on MONDAY, October 9th, from 16:30 to 18:00 at the
WU Wien (Seminarraum A. 619, UZA 4, 6. Stock, Block A, Nordbergstrasse 15,

Ashley is going to be in Vienna on Monday. If you like to meet her and to
discuss your research with her, please contact Michael Halling

Abstract
In this paper we develop models for stock returns when stock prices are
subject to stochastic mispricing errors. We show that expected rates of
return depend not only on the fundamental risk that is captured by a
standard asset pricing model, but also on the type and degree of asset
mispricing, even when the mispricing is zero on average. Empirically, the
mispricing induced return bias, proxied either by Kalman filter estimates or
by volatility and variance ratio of residual returns, are shown to be
significantly associated with realized risk adjusted returns.
Prof. Peter Swan from the University of New South Wales is giving a VGSF
research seminar on "OPTIMAL PORTFOLIO BALANCING UNDER CONVENTIONAL
PREFERENCES AND TRANSACTION COSTS EXPLAINS THE EQUITY PREMIUM PUZZLE" on
FRIDAY, October 6th, from 15:30 to 17:00 at the WU Wien (UZA 4,
Nordbergstrasse 15, 1090 Wien, Room D204, 2. Obergeschoß, see
http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/portal/ueber_wu/standorte/lageplan4 for a detailed

Abstract
Adding a motivation for trading due to endowment differences to the standard
assumptions of asset pricing, we investigate the impact of a variety of
impediments to trade including transactions costs and illiquidity due to
small participant numbers. We calibrate to observed activity levels,
returns, transaction costs and volatility in equity and bond markets to show
that equity investors benefit from the ability to trade freely, and thus
require a high return of 6 to 8% pa for bearing even modest transactional
charges of 0.5%. Our findings are consistent with most empirical facts and
explain a number of anomalies in addition to the equity premium puzzle.
Am 17./18. 11. 2006 findet im Universitätszentrum Obergurgl ein Workshop zum
Thema Risikomanagement statt. Papers können noch bis spätestens 11. Oktober
eingereicht werden. Den CFP und weitere Informationen finden Sie unter

The workshop series is specially designed to provide insight into the discipline of optimisation for a wide range of individuals such as OR professionals, quantitative analysts, risk analysts, DSS application developers, consultants, and academic researchers.
The courses will take you through all the steps of an optimisation project using powerful optimisation tools such as AMPL Modelling System, CPLEX, FortMP, FortSP and SPInE. They are most comprehensive and cover the latest developments in the field, with plenty of hands-on examples, which help you develop stochastic programming applications for your sector, be it financial planning, portfolio selection, supply chain, or energy systems planning.
Guest Presentation:
*Scenario Generation - Hidden Markov Model
