Since finding a solution to a problem that does not create a feeling of l

Uppsatsen undersöker om det är möjligt att erhålla riskjusterad överavkastning på sex olika börsindex med hjälp av teknisk analys. Som mått på riskjusterad avkastning används Sharpekvoten och som tekniska indikatorer används glidande medelvärden samt ett lågpassfilter. Som jämförelseavkastning till den tekniska analysen väljs en ”buy-and-hold”-strategi. Ett testverktyg programmeras i VBA för att g

Value-at-Risk (VaR) har kommit att bli ett viktigt riskmått de senaste 20 åren och används av finansiella institut världen över. Det huvudsakliga problemet med detta mått är att välja den mest lämpliga sannolikhetsfördelningen för att prognostisera risken. Detta betyder att man måste göra antaganden om den underliggande tillgångens probabilistiska beteende och utifrån dessa antaganden evaluera VaRValue-at-Risk (VaR) has grown to become an important risk measurement used by financial institutions in the last 20 years. The primary problem with this measure is to choose the most appropriate probability density function to forecast the risk. This means assumptions have to be made about the underlying asset’s probabilistic behavior and from these assumptions evaluate the Value-at-Risk measure.
