Nonlinear shifts and dislocations in financial market structure and composition

no code implementations22 Mar 2024 Nick James, Max Menzies

This paper develops new mathematical techniques to identify temporal shifts among a collection of US equities partitioned into a new and more detailed set of market sectors.

Portfolio diversification with varying investor abilities

no code implementations11 Nov 2023 Nick James, Max Menzies

We introduce new mathematical methods to study the optimal portfolio size of investment portfolios over time, considering investors with varying skill levels.

An exploration of the mathematical structure and behavioural biases of 21st century financial crises

no code implementations28 Jul 2023 Nick James, Max Menzies

In this paper we contrast the dynamics of the 2022 Ukraine invasion financial crisis with notable financial crises of the 21st century - the dot-com bubble, global financial crisis and COVID-19.

Collective dynamics, diversification and optimal portfolio construction for cryptocurrencies

no code implementations18 Apr 2023 Nick James, Max Menzies

Our focus is on collective dynamics and portfolio diversification in the cryptocurrency market, and examining whether previously established results in the equity market hold in the cryptocurrency market, and to what extent.

Economic state classification and portfolio optimisation with application to stagflationary environments

no code implementations29 Mar 2022 Nick James, Max Menzies, Kevin Chin

Motivated by the current fears of a potentially stagflationary global economic environment, this paper uses new and recently introduced mathematical techniques to study multivariate time series pertaining to country inflation (CPI), economic growth (GDP) and equity index behaviours.

On financial market correlation structures and diversification benefits across and within equity sectors

no code implementations22 Feb 2022 Nick James, Max Menzies, Georg A. Gottwald

Using the degree of collectivity as a proxy for the benefit of diversification, we perform an extensive sampling of equity portfolios to confirm the old financial adage that 30-40 stocks provide sufficient diversification.

Evolutionary correlation, regime switching, spectral dynamics and optimal trading strategies for cryptocurrencies and equities

no code implementations31 Dec 2021 Nick James

This paper uses new and recently established methodologies to study the evolutionary dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, and compares the findings with that of the equity market.

On the systemic nature of global inflation, its association with equity markets and financial portfolio implications

no code implementations22 Nov 2021 Nick James, Kevin Chin

This paper uses new and recently introduced mathematical techniques to undertake a data-driven study on the systemic nature of global inflation.

Portfolio Optimization

Collective correlations, dynamics, and behavioural inconsistencies of the cryptocurrency market over time

no code implementations29 Jul 2021 Nick James, Max Menzies

We then explore the time-varying consistency of the relationships between cryptocurrencies' size and their returns and volatility.

A new measure between sets of probability distributions with applications to erratic financial behavior

no code implementations10 Jun 2021 Nick James, Max Menzies

This paper introduces a new framework to quantify distance between finite sets with uncertainty present, where probability distributions determine the locations of individual elements.

Structural clustering of volatility regimes for dynamic trading strategies

no code implementations21 Apr 2020 Arjun Prakash, Nick James, Max Menzies, Gilad Francis

We develop a new method to find the number of volatility regimes in a nonstationary financial time series by applying unsupervised learning to its volatility structure.

Optimally adaptive Bayesian spectral density estimation for stationary and nonstationary processes

no code implementations4 Mar 2020 Nick James, Max Menzies

This article improves on existing methods to estimate the spectral density of stationary and nonstationary time series assuming a Gaussian process prior.

Equivalence relations and $L^p$ distances between time series with application to the Black Summer Australian bushfires

no code implementations7 Feb 2020 Nick James, Max Menzies

This paper introduces a new framework of algebraic equivalence relations between time series and new distance metrics between them, then applies these to investigate the Australian ``Black Summer'' bushfire season of 2019-2020.

Changes to the extreme and erratic behaviour of cryptocurrencies during COVID-19

no code implementations12 Dec 2019 Nick James, Max Menzies, Jennifer Chan

First, we analyse the structure of the market as a whole and observe a reduction in self-similarity as a result of COVID-19, particularly with respect to structural breaks in variance.

Anomaly Detection Time Series +1

Novel semi-metrics for multivariate change point analysis and anomaly detection

no code implementations4 Nov 2019 Nick James, Max Menzies, Lamiae Azizi, Jennifer Chan

This paper proposes a new method for determining similarity and anomalies between time series, most practically effective in large collections of (likely related) time series, by measuring distances between structural breaks within such a collection.
