Elle, a 9-year old girl, intended to make at least €220 profit to the end of 2019. She made "only" €215.31 due to an operational mistake, caused by the interface re-design by her broker DeGiro. Continue reading "JuniorDepot21 – Annual Goal for 2019 is Slightly Missed due to Operational Risk"

4. Münchener Tischgespräch von DSW – drei interessante Präsentationen
Auf 4. Münchener Tischgespräch, organisiert am 05.12.2019 vom Deutschen Schutzverein für Wertpapierbesitz e.V. (DSW), hatte ich die Gelegenheit, drei interessante Vorträge von Fraport (ETR:FRA), Biofrontera(NASD:BFRA) und Deutscher Post(ETR:DPW) zu hören. Obwohl ich der quantitative Investor bin, also schaue ich eher auf die Zahlen als auf die Stories, fand ich die Information sehr interessant. Darüber hinaus war es keine Massenveranstaltung, sondern wirklich ein Tischgespräch im engeren Kreis.

Teuro Phänomen 2001-2005: War die gefühlte Inflation wirklich falsch? – Eine echte Herausforderung für den Data Scientiest
Wir versuchen das Teuro Phänomen statistisch zu untersuchen und konfrontieren mangelnde und teilweise widersprüchliche Quelldaten. Zwar können wir wegen Datenmangels das Phänomen nicht direkt statistisch nachweisen, spricht die Metaanalysis (also Analyse von zum Thema durchgeführten Studien) eindeutig dafür, das es Teuro doch gab (wenn auch hat sich nicht so offensichtlich ausgeprägt). Continue reading "Teuro Phänomen 2001-2005: War die gefühlte Inflation wirklich falsch? – Eine echte Herausforderung für den Data Scientiest"
JuniorDepot20 – Second Intermediate Goal is [Almost] Reached
Elle, a nine years old girl, who manages her wealth with our help, has hit (ahead of time) her target for the 2nd year: to earn at least 220 EUR.
In future she has to alter her investing strategy a little bit since on the one hand her broker DeGiro introduces flat-fee trading with American stocks but on the other hand will compensate the negative rates only upto 2500 EUR cash. Continue reading "JuniorDepot20 – Second Intermediate Goal is [Almost] Reached"

JuniorDepot18 – Hedging Profit by a Long-Short Lock-in
During a high-turbulence market regime it often makes sense to fix the profit quickly. However, Elle's broker DeGiro provides fee-free trades with the following ETFs only once per months. Elle's trading capital is relatively small so far (€2165), thus paying €2 trading fee shall be avoided whenever possible. So I taught her to lock the profit in long position by means of the respective inverse ETF! Continue reading "JuniorDepot18 – Hedging Profit by a Long-Short Lock-in"
JuniorDepot17 – Fixing Profit for a while
Elle continues growing her wealth, reaching the CAGR of 11.50%. Now she is to learn that keeping a good pace in the long run implies making pauses. Due to political risks and economic concerns in Europe we have, so far, closed all positions in Elle's portfolio.

Reading A First Course in Quantitative Finance by Thomas Mazzoni
A First Course in Quantitative Finance by Thomas Mazzoni was published a year ago. It provides a thorough analysis of such topics as Local Volatility, derivative pricing via PDEs (and solution of theses PDEs) as well as a good insight of Levy processes. Although it might be too big and too general for the 1st course, it is definitely worth reading as the 1.5* course in quantitative finance. Continue reading "Reading A First Course in Quantitative Finance by Thomas Mazzoni"
JuniorDepot16 – Markets Fall but Not Elle’s Wealth
