1 Generalized normal mean variance mixtures and subordinated Brownian motions in Finance. Elisa Luciano and Patrizia Semeraro Università degli Studi di Torino Dipartimento di Statistica e Matematica Applicata D. De Castro 1

2 Outline Motivation Aim General model One factor subordination GH distribution and process (case 1 and case 2) Calibrations 2

3 Motivation: Time changed Brownian motion Empirical: calendar time may not be appropriate to represent financial market time (Clark (1973)): it depends on the arrival of information and can often be proxied by trade Theoretical: any arbitrage free return process (semi-martingale) can be written as a time changed Brownian motion (Monroe (1978); Ané and Geman (2000)). Lévy environment: change of time are univariate subordinators, i.e. increasing Lévy processes. 3

4 Motivation: Multivariate extension Time-changed Lévy processes have been extended to the multivariate setting: common time change. The financial meaning is that the business time is the same for all assets. Drawbacks of a common subordinator 1. A common business time to all stocks seems to be restrictive; 2. the marginal processes have common parameters joint calibration is necessary; 3. independence may not be represented. 4

5 Aim Introduce a class of multivariate Lévy processes using multivariate subordination in order to Obtain time changed BM marginal processes, capture both high dependence and independence, propose a multivariate GH distribution and process; Show that the generalization permits to easily fit the linear correlation and to include independence. 5

6 Multivariate subordinators Generalization: each stock has its own change of time multidimensional subordinator. General model A random vector Y has generalized normal mean variance mixture distribution (shortly Y Gnmv) if Y = AGµ + Q GW, (1) where W N(0, I n ), A, Q M n, QQ T is positive-definite, G = diag(g) G positive, independent from W. Notice Gnmv since for G 1 = G 2 =... = G n we have the usual N mv mixture. 6

7 Theorem If the mixing distribution G is infinitely divisible, the vector Y is i.d. with characteristic function ψ Y (z) = exp(ψ G (iµz T A 1 2 (Q z)), (2) where Q z := (( l z l q l1 ) 2,..., ( l z l q ln ) 2 ) T = (Q T z)(z T Q) and Q j = (q 1j,..., q nj ) T. Under the condition of the previous theorem the vector Y Gnmv uniquely determines a Lévy process in law. 7

8 R n + -parameter process X = {(X 1 (s),..., X n (s)) T, s R n + } is an Rn + -parameter process (see Barndorff-Nielsen et al.) if X(0) = 0 almost surely and: 1. for any m 3 and for any choice of s 1... s m, the increments X(s j ) X(s j 1 ), j = 1,..., m, are independent; 2. for any s 1 s 2 and s 3 s 4 satisfying s 2 s 1 = s 4 s 3, X(s 2 ) X(s 1 ) = d X(s 4 ) X(s 3 ) (increments are stationary); 3. X(s) is almost surely right continuous with left limits in s in the partial ordering of R n +. 8

9 Proposition A random vector Y is in Gnmv if and only if Y = d Y (1), where Y is a Lévy process obtained by subordination of a R n + -parameter Brownian motion B(s). Moreover the subordinator G is the Lévy process such that L(G(1)) = L(G). Marginal processes: Y j (t) = B j (G(t)) = B j (G 1 (t),..., G n (t)). 9

10 One factor subordinator Economic intuition: both a common and an idiosyncratic time change exist, so that independent returns can be generated. Formally: We adopt the random-additive-effect distributions proposed in Barndorff-Nielsen et al. Let G be G = (X 1 + γ 1 Z,..., X n + γ n Z), (3) where γ 1,..., γ n are positive real parameters and X i, i = 1,..., n and Z are independent and infinitely divisible. Define G = {G(t), t 0} the Lévy process such that L(G(1)) = L(W ). 10

11 Summary: one factor model Y = AGµ + Q GW, (4) where G is the one factor mixing variable. If Y (t) is the corresponding Lévy process we proved that: Y (t) = B(G(t)) = (B 1 (G 1 (t),..., G n (t)),..., B n (G 1 (t),..., G n (t))) where B be a R n + -parameter Brownian motion. We will discuss for the GH process two particular cases in order to attach to each marginal asset its own change of time. 11

12 Case 1 In Semeraro and Luciano and Semeraro we considered for the VG and NIG specifications the particular case: If Q = Σ diagonal and A = I then Y T = ( G 1 σ 1 W 1 + µ 1 G 1,..., G n σ n W n + µ n G n ). (5) The corresponding process Y becomes Y (t) = (B 1 (G 1 (t)),..., B n (G n (t))), where B 1,..., B n are n independent Brownian motions. The intuition on business time is verified, but we do not always reach high correlation. 12

13 Multivariate GH process We specify the distribution of Y in order to obtain: Y with GH margins; easy calibration of both the margins and the dependence; it answers our economic requirement to attach to each Brownian motion its own change of time. 13

14 Multivariate GH process: GIG-subordinator X i GIG( λ, δ i, b γ i ), V i Γ(λ a, b2 2γ 2 i ), Z Γ(a, b2 2 ), where λ > 0, b 0, γ i > 0, 0 < a λ and δ i, b both nonnegative and not simultaneously zero. Then G: G = (X 1 + V 1 + γ1 2 Z,..., X n + V n + γn 2 Z). (6) has GIG margins: G i GIG. The subordinator G so that L(G(1)) = L(G) has GIG margins. 14

15 Multivariate GH process Case1: independent Brownian motions B 1,..., B n independent Brownian motions with parameters (µ j, 1). Define Y (t) = (B 1 (G 1 (t)),..., B n (G n (t))), where the subordinator G is defined in the previous slide to be GIG. The process Y is infinitely divisible and it has GH margins with parameters α j, β j, δ j, λ. 15

16 Multidimensional GH distribution: Case2: correlated Brownian motions We add correlation leaving GH margins. Let Y GM GH. Y is the sum of two independent multivariate processes: Y = Y T + ΓY Z,, where Γ = diag(γ1 2,..., γ2 n) and Y T has independent GH margins (independent subordinators T j = X j + V j ) and Y Z, has a common gamma subordinator Z. Define the process Ỹ (Q GMGH) Ỹ = Y T + QY Z, where Y Z is a multivariate VG process with a common subordinator Z(t) Γ(a, b2 2 ). 16

17 Proposition Under the condition: ( i q ji ) 2 = γ 2 j, the process Ỹ has GH(α j, β j, δ j, λ) margins. 17

18 Calibrations: case1 The parameters involved in the GMGH model are: The marginal parameters of the returns: α j, β j, δ j, λ. The common marginal parameter specify the marginal distributions, for example λ = 1, the case we consider in calibration correspond to Hyperbolic margins. The parameters of the subordinator, involved in the dependence structure of the model: a, b (we have constraint on the parameters that make correlations depend only on a, therefore we fix b = 1). 18

19 Calibrations:case2 The parameters involved in the Q-GMGH model are: The marginal parameters of the returns: α j, β j, δ j, λ; The parameters of the subordinator, involved in the dependence structure of the model: a, b. The correlation matrix Q. Some constraints have to be verified. 19

20 Calibrations: Hyperbolic case marginal parameters we consider the marginal parameters calibrated in Eberlein and Keller (1995) for the hyperbolic distribution (GH with λ = 1). We consider three firms taken from their sample, namely BASF, BMW, Daimler Benz. The estimated parameters for BASF, BMW and Daimler Benz are given in the following table: α j β j δ j BASF BMW DA-BE

21 Calibrations Case 1: Correlation with independent BM The theoretical correlation matrix for a = max = 1 follows: ρ BASF BMW BMW DA-BE

22 Case 2: Q-GMGH correlation We provide an example of choice of (a, b, Q) that gives rise to significant correlations, with the same marginal parameters as above. a = 1 (maximal), b = 10 and Q = With this choice for the dependence parameters we get the following correlations: ρỹ BASF BMW BMW DA-BE

23 Conclusions We developed a multivariate model that: is based on a one factor business clock, allows to capture both independence and high dependence, permits to fit linear correlation. 23
