11 4. Our philosophy Academia: TU Kaiserslautern Generalize models Industry: Banks Pension Funds Use models Elegant mathematics Efficient mathematics Abstraction as high as possible Understandable models Publication of results Implementation of methods Seite 11
12 4. Our philosophy Unique combination of an internationally known university-level research unit and industry consulting experience Working with world-class researchers (Cambridge-Kaiserslautern FA) Others implement latest models, we create them! We can generate capacity via networking (partner institute in Gothenburg, external researchers, ) when needed We can offer the whole solution from theory via algorithm to implementation We deliver the best of both worlds! Seite 12
13 5. A typical project: Credit rating and Basel II -1- Consulting and statistical expertise Tasks: Set up and calibrate/validate a credit rating system consistent with the Basel II requirements Our contributions: Data analysis Identifying influential variables (Lorenz curves, discriminatory power, accuracy ratio,..) Computing an optimal score function (choice of the class of methods, parameter estimation,..) Setting up a rating system (CART, ) Calibration and validation of the rating Use the rating in action (i.e. estimate default probabilities ) Backtesting Seite 13
14 5. A typical project: Dividend modelling -2- Research, consulting, implementation Tasks: Set up a dividend model that is suitable for use in option pricing Our contributions: Surveying the existing literature Judging existing models Developping a new model (Korn, Rogers: Stocks paying discrete dividends: modelling and option pricing, in: Journal of Derivatives, 2005.) Test of the model Implementing the model and corresponding option valuation routines Seite 14
15 5. A typical project: Asset Liability Management -3- Consulting, research and product Tasks: Develop a tool suitable for dealing with the investment problems of a pension fund Our contributions: Developed a global model of correlated asset markets, inflation and productivity plus the evolution of the insured population Built an own macro language for modelling assets and liability evolution ALMSim Calibrated all necessary parameters Trained members of the companies to use the tool Seite 15
16 5. Further typical projects: Of different characters Pricing strongly path-dependent options ( Suitable variant of Heston model incl. Monte Carlo, pde solver, closed form solutions for forward starting options) Credit derivatives (dependence modelling by copulas, ) Development of a stand-alone pricing tool for front office use Set up a framework for valueing inflation-linked bonds Create a framework for longevity bonds ( dynamic mortality modelling ).. Seite 16
17 6. Cambridge and Kaiserslautern Research Projects The FhG has financed the Fraunhofer part of the CKFA with 1 Mio Euro in Aims: Building up a structural partnership with an excellent European partner Doing research with commercial potential in the areas of: A Further development and practical implementation of continuous-time portfolio optimisation B Asset-Liability-Management: Test of different approaches and product development ALMSim / Product development DEBI C New stock price models D New methods of risk management in banks and insurance companies Seite 17
