Portfolio diversification in the sovereign credit swap markets

2018

We develop models for portfolio diversification in the sovereign credit default swaps (CDS) markets and show that, despite literature findings that sovereign CDS spreads are affected by global factors, there is sufficient idiosyncratic risk to be diversified. However, we identify regime switching in the times series of CDS spreads and spread returns, and the optimal diversified strategies can be regime dependent. The developed models trade off the CVaR risk measure against expected return, consistently with the statistical properties of spreads. We consider three investment strategies suited for different CDS market participants: for investors with long positions, speculators that hold unco…

Credit derivatives e catena del valore del rischio di credito: le determinanti delle scelte di de-integrazione.

2013

This paper analyses the drivers of the credit risk transfer market in the credit risk value chain. The central line of my research is to explain why the credit derivatives market is a case of credit risk value chain disintegration. I examine the determinants that explain the use of credit derivatives by banks in the lending business. Transaction cost economics represents the starting point of my research. Competitive advantages of banking firms, standardization of information and financial instruments, financial regulation and shareholder value view help us understand the creation of credit risk transfer markets.

I credit derivatives nell’economia dei sistemi finanziari tra innovazione e criticità

2011

Il lavoro è volto a comprendere il ruolo degli strumenti credit derivatives nell’economia dei sistemi finanziari. I credit derivatives rappresentano una significativa forma di innovazione finanziaria che incide direttamente sull’attività degli intermediari finanziari e, in particolare, bancari. Il ricorso al mercato dei credit derivatives rende possibile il trasferimento integrale o parziale dei rischi di credito senza il contestuale trasferimento delle singole esposizioni creditizie. Ciò dischiude una varietà di scelte aziendali di de-integrazione della catena del valore dell’intermediazione creditizia e di diversificazione del portafoglio crediti che, tuttavia, non sempre conducono ad una…
