Abstract |
Recently, the US Federal Reserve has ended quantitative easing program due to their improved economic states, so that the interest rates in the US markets are likely to rise soon. Obviously, this change will have a substantial effect on bond markets around the world, it is important to protect investors who invested in interest rate derivatives. In this paper, we introduce two stress test tools on long positions on the Korean DLS (derivative-linked security) written on interest rates: sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis. We choose carefully several representative DLSs issued in 2013 and 2014 and test them. We show that the values of some DLSs are quite sensitive to market condition changes and have potential to deteriorate profitability of the investors. This implies the investors should reduce their risk exposure and the regulatory authorities should take proactive responses to possibility of the arguments about incomplete sales between institutional issuers and individual investors. |
