July,15. Conic Finance Explained and Applied, by Wim Schoutens.

We give an introduction to conic finance. Conic Finance is a brand new quantitative finance theory and is incorporating in a fundamental way bid and ask pricing. We provide the basics and its connection with the concept of acceptability and coherent risk measures. Distorted expectations are employed to actually calculate bid and ask prices. We elaborate on various applications of the theory like conic hedging, conic portfolio theory and show how conic finance can be used for systemic risk measurement, liquidity measurement and how the counter-intuitive effects of booking profits due to your own credit deterioration (also referred to as Debt Valuation Adjustment or DVA) are mitigated under the conic bid and ask pricing theory.

Date: 15th July, 9:30 am to 1.00 pm.
Room: Sala Recepcions, Faculty of Economics and Business, UB, Av. Diagonal, 690, 08034, Barcelona.
