| dc.description.abstract | Este estudio analiza una estrategia de inversión colaborativa entre un inversor adverso al riesgo y un gestor informado. El inversor utiliza un modelo de valoración incorrecta para identificar y explotar pares de acciones cointegradas que presentan desviaciones relativas recurrentes. Los pesos óptimos de las posiciones largas en activos infravalorados y cortas en activos sobrevalorados se obtienen maximizando la utilidad esperada mediante un mecanismo de corrección de errores. El gestor ejecuta las operaciones y cubre el riesgo delta mediante una opción sobre el diferencial que replica la estrategia del inversor. Al hacer coincidir las deltas de la opción con los pesos iniciales, se neutraliza el riesgo direccional y se aprovechan las ganancias de convexidad. Los resultados para DJIA y EURO STOXX 50 muestran mejoras significativas en los ratios de Sharpe. | es |
| dc.description.abstract | This study explores a collaborative investment strategy involving a risk-averse investor and a manager who is informed. The investor applies a mispricing model to detect and exploit cointegrated stock pairs that exhibit recurring relative mispricing. Optimal portfolio weights for long positions in undervalued assets and short positions in overvalued ones are derived by maximizing expected utility, using an error correction mechanism to guide allocation. These weights are communicated to the manager, who implements the trades and hedges the delta risk using a spread option constructed to replicate the investor’s strategy. By aligning the option’s deltas with the investor’s initial weights, the manager achieves risk neutrality with respect to directional spot movements while remaining long the spread option to harvest convexity gains. Using DJIA components (1997–2023), the delta-hedged strategy achieves a Sharpe ratio of 1.38 versus 0.65 for the benchmark. | en |
