Extreme value theory has been used widely in many areas of science and engineering to deal with the assessment of extreme events which are rare but have catastrophic consequences. The potential of extreme value theory has only been recognized recently in finance area. In this paper, we provide an overview of extreme value theory for estimating and assessing value at risk and expected shortfall which are the methods for modelling and measuring the extreme financial risks. We illustrate that the approach based on extreme value theory is very useful for estimating tail related risk measures through backtesting of an empirical data.

Risk management has been a crucial part of the daily operations of the financial industry over the past two decades. Value at Risk (VaR), a quantitative measure introduced by JP Morgan in 1995, is the most popular and simplest quantitative measure of risk. VaR has been widely applied to the risk evaluation over all types of financial activities, including portfolio management and asset allocation. This paper uses the implementations of multivariate GARCH models and copula methods to illustrate the performance of a one-day-ahead VaR prediction modeling process for high-dimensional portfolios. Many factors, such as the interaction among included assets, are included in the modeling process. Additionally, empirical data analyses and backtesting results are demonstrated through a rolling analysis, which help capture the instability of parameter estimates. We find that our way of modeling is relatively robust and flexible.

Pair trading is a statistical arbitrage investment strategy. Traditionally, cointegration has been utilized in the pair exploring step to discover a pair with a similar price movement. Recently, the clustering analysis has attracted many researchers' attention, replacing the cointegration method. This study tests a clustering-driven pair trading investment strategy in the Korean stock market. If a pair detected through clustering has a large spread during the spread exploring period, the pair is included in the portfolio for backtesting. The profitability of the clustering-driven pair trading strategies is investigated based on various profitability measures such as the distribution of returns, cumulative returns, profitability by period, and sensitivity analysis on different parameters. The backtesting results show that the pair trading investment strategy is valid in the Korean stock market. More interestingly, the clustering-driven portfolio investments show higher performance compared to benchmarks. Note that the hierarchical clustering shows the best portfolio performance.

Value-at-Risk(VaR) is an important part of risk management in the financial industry. This paper present a VaR forecasting for financial time series based on the quantile regression for GARCH models recently developed by Lee and Noh (2009). The proposed VaR forecasting features the direct conditional quantile estimation for GARCH models that is well connected with the model parameters. Empirical performance is measured by several backtesting procedures, and is reported in comparison with existing methods using sample quantiles.

In the ever-changing landscape of finance, the fusion of artificial intelligence (AI)and pair trading strategies has captured the interest of investors and institutions alike. In the context of supervised machine learning, crafting precise and accurate labels is crucial, as it remains a top priority to empower AI models to surpass traditional pair trading methods. However, prevailing labeling techniques in the financial sector predominantly concentrate on individual assets, posing a challenge in aligning with pair trading strategies. To address this issue, we propose an inventive approach that melds the Triple Barrier Labeling technique with pair trading, optimizing the resultant labels through genetic algorithms. Rigorous backtesting on cryptocurrency datasets illustrates that our proposed labeling method excels over traditional pair trading methods and corresponding buy-and-hold strategies in both profitability and risk control. This pioneering method offers a novel perspective on trading strategies and risk management within the financial domain, laying a robust groundwork for further enhancing the precision and reliability of pair trading strategies utilizing AI models.

Traditional value at risk(S-VaR) has a difficulity in predicting the future risk of financial asset prices since S-VaR is a backward looking measure based on the historical data of the underlying asset prices. In order to resolve the deficiency of S-VaR, an economic value at risk(E-VaR) using the risk neutral probability distributions is suggested since E-VaR is a forward looking measure based on the option price data. In this study E-VaR is estimated by assuming the generalized gamma distribution(GGD) as risk neutral density function which is implied in the option. The estimated E-VaR with GGD was compared with E-VaR estimates under the Black-Scholes model, two-lognormal mixture distribution, generalized extreme value distribution and S-VaR estimates under the normal distribution and GARCH(1, 1) model, respectively. The option market data of the KOSPI 200 index are used in order to compare the performances of the above VaR estimates. The results of the empirical analysis show that GGD seems to have a tendency to estimate VaR conservatively; however, GGD is superior to other models in the overall sense.

This study explores modern portfolio theory by integrating the Black-Litterman portfolio with time-series clustering, specificially emphasizing K-shape clustering methodology. K-shape clustering enables grouping time-series data effectively, enhancing the ability to plan and manage investments in stock markets when combined with the Black-Litterman portfolio. Based on the patterns of stock markets, the objective is to understand the relationship between past market data and planning future investment strategies through backtesting. Additionally, by examining diverse learning and investment periods, it is identified optimal strategies to boost portfolio returns while efficiently managing associated risks. For comparative analysis, traditional Markowitz portfolio is also assessed in conjunction with clustering techniques utilizing K-Means and K-Means with Dynamic Time Warping. It is suggested that the combination of K-shape and the Black-Litterman model significantly enhances portfolio optimization in the stock market, providing valuable insights for making stable portfolio investment decisions. The achieved sharpe ratio of 0.722 indicates a significantly higher performance when compared to other benchmarks, underlining the effectiveness of the K-shape and Black-Litterman integration in portfolio optimization.

금융자산에의 투자에서 리스크 관리의 중요성이 부각되면서 리스크를 측정할 수 있는 도구로서 Value at Risk (VaR)가 널리 각광을 받고 있다. Value at Risk는 주어진 신뢰수준에서 목표기간 동안 발생 가능한 최대손실로 정의되는데 몇 가지 한계점이 있지만 비교적 간단하게 계산되고 이해될 수 있다는 장점이 있어 리스크 측정 및 관리의 기본적인 측도로 이용되고 있다. 그러나 포트폴리오에 포함되는 자산의 숫자가 많아지는 경우 VaR을 계산하는 데에 필수적인 변동성 추정이 매우 어려워지게 된다. 이때 차원축소의 방법을 생각할 수 있는데, 전통적인 인자분석은 시계열자료에 적합한 방법이 아니기 때문에 직접 적용할 수 없고 자료의 자기상관성을 제거하는 방법이 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 인자분석의 확장 형태인 시계열인자분석을 활용하여 시계열자료의 차원축소과정을 간결하게 하는 방법을 제시하고, 시계열인자분석으로 차원을 축소할 때 기존의 방법을 사용하는 것과 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 실제 금융자료를 이용한 VaR의 사후검증을 통해 분석하였다.

대부분의 국내 선행연구들은 이분산성은 GARCH모형으로, 꼬리위험은 EVT모형으로 따로 고려하였다. 이 경우 이분산성 및 꼬리의 두꺼움을 동시에 고려하지 못한 VaR값은 실제 위험량을 적절히 반영하지 못할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이분산성 및 꼬리의 두꺼움을 고려할 수 있는 GARCH-EVT모형이 정규분포를 가정한 VaR와 이분산성을 가정한 VaR보다 높은 성과를 나타내는지 살펴보았다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 주식수익률은 정규분포보다는 꼬리부분이 두꺼운 형태를 보이고, 이분산성을 가진다. 이 경우 정규분포하에서 산출된 VaR는 실제 손실금액을 과소평가할 위험성이 있어 이분산성과 꼬리의 두꺼움을 감안할 수 있는 모형의 도입이 필요함을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 이분산성과 꼬리의 두꺼움을 고려한 GARCH-EVT모형하에서의 VaR는 정규분포를 가정한 VaR와 이분산성을 가정한 VaR보다 높은 성과를 보였다. 셋째, 이분산성 및 꼬리의 두꺼움을 고려한 GARCH-EVT모형하에서의 ES는 정규분포를 가정한 VaR와 이분산성을 가정한 VaR보다 높은 성과를 일관되게 보여주지 않았다. 결론적으로 이분산성과 꼬리의 두꺼움을 동시에 반영한 GARCH-EVT모형하에서 VaR가 금융기관의 위험관리의 유용한 도구가 될 수 있는 가능성을 발견하였다. 비록 상대적으로 높은 성과를 보이지는 않지만 ES는 VaR함께 위험척도로 같이 사용할 때 보수적인 위험관리 차원에 부합될 것이다.
