Beyond VaR and CVaR: Topological Risk Measures in Financial Markets
This paper introduces a novel approach to financial risk assessment by incorporating topological data analysis (TDA), specifically cohomology groups, into the evaluation of equities portfolios. The study aims to go beyond traditional risk measures like Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), offering a more nuanced understanding of market complexities. Using last one year daily real-world closing price return data for three equities Apple, Microsoft and Google , we developed a new topological riskmeasure, termed Topological VaR Distance (TVaRD). Preliminary results indicate a significant change in the density of the point cloud representing the financial time series during stress conditions, suggesting that TVaRD may offer additional insights into portfolio risk and has the potential to complement existing risk management tools.

RM-CVaR: Regularized Multiple $β$-CVaR Portfolio
The problem of finding the optimal portfolio for investors is called the portfolio optimization problem. Such problem mainly concerns the expectation and variability of return (i.e., mean and variance). Although the vari…
Portfolio OptimizationRisk Estimation in a Markov Cost Process: Lower and Upper Bounds
We tackle the problem of estimating risk measures of the infinite-horizon discounted cost within a Markov cost process. The risk measures we study include variance, Value-at-Risk (VaR), and Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVa…
Verification of internal risk measure estimates
This paper concerns sequential computation of risk measures for financial data and asks how, given a risk measurement procedure, we can tell whether the answers it produces are `correct'. We draw the distinction between …
Portfolio Risk Assessment using Copula Models
In the paper, we use and investigate copulas models to represent multivariate dependence in financial time series. We propose the algorithm of risk measure computation using copula models. Using the optimal mean-$CVaR$ p…
