  • Capital structure decisions and the optimal design of corporate market debt programs.

    Lionel MARTELLINI, Vincent MILHAU, Andrea TARELLI
    Journal of Corporate Finance | 2018
    This paper provides a joint quantitative analysis of capital structure decisions (debt versus equity) and debt structure decisions (fixed-rate debt versus floating-rate debt or inflation-linked debt) in a continuous-time setting. We show that optimizing the debt structure has an impact on capital structure decisions, and leads to increases in leverage ratios compared to a pure fixed-rate debt program. We also find that for realistic parameter values, jointly optimizing the debt and capital structures generates a significant increase in firm value with respect to a situation where only the capital structure is optimized.

  • Stochastic gravitational wave background : detection methods in non-Gaussian regimes.

    Lionel MARTELLINI
    2017
    The new generation of interferometers should allow us to detect stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds that are expected to arise from a large number of random, independent, unresolved events of astrophysical or cosmological origin. Most detection methods for gravitational waves are based upon the assumption of Gaussian gravitational wave stochastic background signals and noise processes. Our main objective is to improve the methods that can be used to detect gravitational backgrounds in the presence of non-Gaussian distributions. We first maintain the assumption of Gaussian noise distributions so as to better focus on the impact of deviations from normality of the signal distribution in the context of the standard cross-correlation detection statistic. Using a 4th-order Edgeworth expansion of the unknown density for the signal and noise distributions, we first derive an explicit expression for the non-Gaussian likelihood ratio statistic, which is obtained as a function of the variance, but also skewness and kurtosis of the unknown signal and noise distributions. We use numerical procedures to generate maximum likelihood estimates for the gravitational wave distribution parameters for a set of symmetric heavy-tailed distributions, and we find that the fourth cumulant can be estimated with reasonable precision when the ratio between the signal and the noise variances is larger than 1%, which should be useful for analyzing the constraints on astrophysical and cosmological models. In a second step, we analyze the efficiency of the standard cross-correlation statistic in situations that also involve non-Gaussian noise distributions.

  • Equity Portfolios with Improved Liability-Hedging Benefits.

    Guillaume COQUERET, Lionel MARTELLINI, Vincent MILHAU
    Journal of Portfolio Management | 2017
    This article analyzes whether it is desirable and feasible for an investor endowed with liabilities to hold an equity portfolio with better liability-hedging properties than a broad cap-weighted index. From a theoretical standpoint, the authors show that liability-driven investors will generally benefit from reducing the tracking error of their performance portfolios with respect to liabilities, unless this comes at an exceedingly large loss of performance. The authors then empirically document the heterogeneity of interest-rate-hedging properties across the constituents of the S&P 500 universe, and they show that substantial welfare gains can be achieved by selecting low-volatility and high-dividend-yield stocks. These benefits are further enhanced if a minimum-variance weighting scheme is applied to the selected stocks.

    We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 20–475 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0,+0.1]×10-8 Hz/s. Such a signal could be produced by a nearby spinning and slightly nonaxisymmetric isolated neutron star in our galaxy. This search uses the data from Advanced LIGO’s first observational run, O1. No periodic gravitational wave signals were observed, and upper limits were placed on their strengths. The lowest upper limits on worst-case (linearly polarized) strain amplitude h0 are ∼4×10-25 near 170 Hz. For a circularly polarized source (most favorable orientation), the smallest upper limits obtained are ∼1.5×10-25. These upper limits refer to all sky locations and the entire range of frequency derivative values. For a population-averaged ensemble of sky locations and stellar orientations, the lowest upper limits obtained for the strain amplitude are ∼2.5×10-25.

  • The stochastic gravitational background: detection methods in non-Gaussian regimes.

    Standard methods for detecting the stochastic gravitational background are based on the simplifying assumption that its distribution as well as that of the detector noise are Gaussian. In this thesis, we propose improved methods for detecting the stochastic gravitational background that explicitly take into account the non-Gaussian character of these distributions. Using an Edgeworth development, we first obtain an analytical expression for the likelihood ratio statistic in the presence of a non-Gaussian distribution of the stochastic gravity background. This expression generalizes the usual expression when the symmetry coefficient and the kurtosis coefficient of the stochastic background distribution are non-zero. On the basis of stochastic simulations for different symmetric distributions with thicker tails than the Gaussian distribution, we show that the 4th cumulant can be estimated with an acceptable accuracy when the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 1%, which should allow to provide interesting additional constraints on the values of parameters from astrophysical and cosmological models. In a second step, we seek to analyze the impact of deviations from normality in the detector noise distribution on the stochastic gravitational background detection methods.

  • Equity Portfolios with Improved Liability-Hedging Benefits.

    Guillaume COQUERET, Lionel MARTELLINI, Vincent MILHAU
    The Journal of Portfolio Management | 2017
    This article analyzes whether it isdesirable andfeasible for an investor endowed with liabilities to hold an equity portfolio with better liability-hedging properties than a broad cap-weighted index. From a theoretical standpoint, the authors show that liability-driven investors will generally benefit from reducing the tracking error of their performance portfolios with respect to liabilities, unless this comes at an exceedingly large loss of performance. The authors then empirically document the heterogeneity of interest-rate-hedging properties across the constituents of the S&P 500 universe, and they show that substantial welfare gains can be achieved by selecting low-volatility and high-dividend-yield stocks. These benefits are further enhanced if a minimum-variance weighting scheme is applied to the selected stocks.

    We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 at 10∶11:58.6 UTC by the twin advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory during their second observing run, with a network signal-to-noise ratio of 13 and a false alarm rate less than 1 in 70 000 years. The inferred component black hole masses are 31. 2 + 8.4 − 6.0 M ⊙ and 19. 4 + 5.3 − 5.9 M ⊙ (at the 90% credible level). The black hole spins are best constrained through measurement of the effective inspiral spin parameter, a mass-weighted combination of the spin components perpendicular to the orbital plane, χ eff = − 0.1 2 + 0.21 − 0.30 . This result implies that spin configurations with both component spins positively aligned with the orbital angular momentum are disfavored. The source luminosity distance is 88 0 + 450 − 390 Mpc corresponding to a redshift of z = 0.1 8 + 0.08 − 0.07 . We constrain the magnitude of modifications to the gravitational-wave dispersion relation and perform null tests of general relativity. Assuming that gravitons are dispersed in vacuum like massive particles, we bound the graviton mass to m g ≤ 7.7 × 10 − 23 eV / c 2 . In all cases, we find that GW170104 is consistent with general relativity.

    On August 17, 2017 at 12∶41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW170817, was detected with a combined signal-to-noise ratio of 32.4 and a false-alarm-rate estimate of less than one per 8.0×104 years. We infer the component masses of the binary to be between 0.86 and 2.26 M⊙, in agreement with masses of known neutron stars. Restricting the component spins to the range inferred in binary neutron stars, we find the component masses to be in the range 1.17–1.60 M⊙, with the total mass of the system 2.74-0.01+0.04M⊙. The source was localized within a sky region of 28 deg2 (90% probability) and had a luminosity distance of 40-14+8 Mpc, the closest and most precisely localized gravitational-wave signal yet. The association with the γ-ray burst GRB 170817A, detected by Fermi-GBM 1.7 s after the coalescence, corroborates the hypothesis of a neutron star merger and provides the first direct evidence of a link between these mergers and short γ-ray bursts. Subsequent identification of transient counterparts across the electromagnetic spectrum in the same location further supports the interpretation of this event as a neutron star merger. This unprecedented joint gravitational and electromagnetic observation provides insight into astrophysics, dense matter, gravitation, and cosmology.

  • Equity Portfolios with Improved Liability-Hedging Benefits.

    Guillaume COQUERET, Lionel MARTELLINI, Vincent MILHAU
    Journal of Portfolio Management | 2017
    This article analyzes whether it isdesirable andfeasible for an investor endowed with liabilities to hold an equity portfolio with better liability-hedging properties than a broad cap-weighted index. From a theoretical standpoint, the authors show that liability-driven investors will generally benefit from reducing the tracking error of their performance portfolios with respect to liabilities, unless this comes at an exceedingly large loss of performance. The authors then empirically document the heterogeneity of interest-rate-hedging properties across the constituents of the S&P 500 universe, and they show that substantial welfare gains can be achieved by selecting low-volatility and high-dividend-yield stocks. These benefits are further enhanced if a minimum-variance weighting scheme is applied to the selected stocks.

  • Toward Conditional Risk Parity:Improving Risk Budgeting Techniques in Changing Economic Environments.

    Lionel MARTELLINI, Vincent MILHAU, Andrea TARELLI
    The Journal of Alternative Investments | 2015
    Risk parity portfolios are traditionally constructed by choosing historical volatility as the risk measure. In an asset allocation context, this results in a substantial overweighting of bonds versus more volatile asset classes such as stocks: this is a concern in a low bond yield environment, since the presence of mean reversion in the yield implies that bonds are likely to perform poorly in the next future. In this article, we introduce three distinct risk parity strategies, explicitly designed to respond to changes in interest rate levels. Our results indicate that these strategies deliver higher returns when interest rates start to increase back to their long-term levels, and that the maximum Sharpe ratio portfolio, which also incorporates information on expected returns, is a less robust alternative.

  • Semiparametric approach to the detection of non-Gaussian gravitational wave stochastic backgrounds.

    Tania REGIMBAU, Lionel MARTELLINI
    Physical Review D | 2014
    Using a semiparametric approach based on the fourth-order Edgeworth expansion for the unknown signal distribution, we derive an explicit expression for the likelihood detection statistic in the presence of a non-normally distributed gravitational wave stochastic background. Numerical likelihood maximization exercises based on Monte Carlo simulations for a set of large tail symmetric non-Gaussian distributions suggest that the fourth cumulant of the signal distribution can be estimated with reasonable precision when the ratio between the signal and the noise variances is larger than 0.01. The estimation of higher-order cumulants of the observed gravitational wave signal distribution is expected to provide additional constraints on astrophysical and cosmological models.

  • Hedging Inflation-Linked Liabilities without Inflation-Linked Instruments through Long/Short Investments in Nominal Bonds.

    Lionel MARTELLINI, Vincent MILHAU, Andrea TARELLI
    The Journal of Fixed Income | 2014
    In the absence of inflation-linked bonds or inflation swaps, no perfect hedging strategy\ud exists for inflation-linked liabilities, and nominal bonds are often used as substitute hedging instruments. This paper provides a formal analysis of the problem of hedging inflation-linked liabilities with nominal bonds in the presence of real rate uncertainty as well as realized and expected inflation risks. While a long-only position in nominal bonds will always have a negative exposure to unexpected inflation, our analysis suggests that long-short nominal bond portfolio strategies can in principle be designed to achieve a zero exposure to changes in unexpected inflation (required to hedge inflation-linked liabilities), while having a target exposure to changes in real rate equal to that of liabilities. The practical implementation of such long-short replication strategies, however, is not a straightforward task in the presence of parameter uncertainty. We explore several non-exclusive solutions to the estimation risk problem, including the use of conditional parameter estimation methodologies as well as the introduction of robust restrictions on input parameters or portfolio weights. These approaches lead to substantial improvements in out-of-sample hedging performance.
