The paper analyzes the sensitivity of the downside risk of a standard derivatives portfolio to a change in the mean-reversion level of its underlyings. From Monte-Carlo simulation, it is found that the higher the intensity of mean-reversion, the lower the probability of reaching a predetermined...

We analyze the sensitivity of the downside risk of a standard derivatives' portfolio to a change of the mean-reversion level of its underlyings. In a Monte-Carlo simulation, we find that the higher the intensity of mean-reversion, the lower the probability of reaching a pre-determined loss...

We carry out a Monte-Carlo simulation of a standard portfolio management strategy involving derivatives, to estimate the sensitivity of its downside risk to a change of mean-reversion of the underlyings. We find that the higher the intensity of mean-reversion, the lower the probability of...
