Issue of study: Today, in an information-driven economy, it is more important than ever to be innovative. Developing new ways to create and deliver value is the main method of competition in the business world.

One of the most fundamental human rights is the right to life and it has been argued that the right to life is reflected by peace. The concept of peace means more than just being free from conflict, it also implies the inherent right of a parent to protect and provide for his children. Peace is, however, not easily achieved. 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.
