Key Points:

OptionMetrics Head of Quantitative Research Garrett DeSimone Ph.D. will give a keynote on Risk Neutral Factors – Implied Variance Asymmetry and Beta at Fordham’s Quantitative Conference – QuantVision – on April 4 in New York City.
DeSimone, who holds a Ph.D. in Financial Economics from University of Delaware, where he served as an adjunct lecturer, will propose a new, combined factor for institutional investors to leverage in assessing risk.
“A common drawback of utilizing volatility as a measure to assess stocks with upside potential and risk is that it treats upside gains and downside losses as having the same relative riskiness.
Our research at OptionMetrics shows how integrating existing factors such as implied beta and implied variance asymmetry (IVA) into portfolio construction can provide another useful tool to assess risk,“ says DeSimone .
