  • BIS: The Cumulant Risk Premium

    Date 09/10/2023

    Many episodes of market turbulence, including the Covid-19 crisis in March 2020, show that asset returns are not normally distributed and that higher-order moments play an important role in financial markets. This raises two questions: (1) What are the implications of higher-order moments for standard finance models? (2) How can the risk premium of higher-order moments across asset classes be measured in a tractable way? In this paper, we show that leveraged ETFs can be used as an alternative to options for measuring the risk of higher-order moments, and we quantify this risk across equities, bonds, commodities, currencies and volatility. To quantify the exposure to higher-order moments in a tractable way, we use the concept of cumulants, which are close relatives to the moments of a given distribution.
