This thesis examines the performance of financial investment companies. The purpose and contribution of this thesis to the academic research is to provide a more comprehensive and coherent view of risks valuation. Specifically, we explore the impact that risks arising from financial instruments has on financial investment companies’ performance using three specific models. We undertake this research through both theoretical exploration and empirical analysis.
On the theoretical part, we display the concerning matters of the international framework regarding financial instruments and the changed in the last thirty years. We present in the theoretical front the concepts regarding financial instruments, risks arising from them and performance of financial investment companies. We show the evolution of the standard international framework, how much it changed and which were the most important questions regarding recognition and evaluation of financial instruments.
On the empirical research, we present three models that have a dependable variable the Tobin’s Q ratio. The sample of our study includes 162 financial investment companies from Europe. We measure each risk arising from financial instruments considers both macroeconomic conditions and firms fundamentals. Using this measure, we analyse the impact that risks arising from financial instruments can have on an investment company. We test the hypotheses by using the fixed effects regression. The most notable finding is that the more the performance increase, the investment risk decrease and a financial investment company is not so exposed to this type of risk. On the other hand, we find that the performance of a financial investment company is directly proportional to the liquidity risk and market risk.
In the second part of our empirical investigation, we present additional evidence to give more robustness to the results obtained from the implementation of the theory that the risks arising from financial instruments have an impact on financial investment companies’ performance. To corroborate that our findings obtained are robust, we have produced two specifications of our baseline model. First of all, because our models can have problems with the estimations carried out, it is possible to see the presence of heteroskedasticity in our explanatory variables. In the second part of the chapter, we are changing the definition of our depended variable to see if the independent variables are acting as we are expecting. We find that even when we change the specification of the models, the variables are moving as we were expecting and we can confirm our hypotheses.Esta tesis examina el rendimiento de las empresas de inversión financiera y su condicionamiento al riesgo de los instrumentos financieros. La intención y contribución de esta tesis es ofrecer una visión más amplia y coherente de la evaluación del riesgo. En concreto, exploramos el impacto que tiene el riesgo derivado de los instrumentos financieros sobre las empresas de inversión financiera a través de tres modelos específicos. Abordamos esta investigación mediante un análisis de carácter teórico y empírico.
En relación al enfoque teórico, mostramos las cuestiones relativas a los instrumentos financieros en el marco internacional en los últimos 30 años. En particular, los conceptos fundamentales asociados a los instrumentos financieros, el riesgo que surge de los mismos y el rendimiento de las empresas de inversión financiera. Así mismo, la evolución de la normativa del marco internacional, en qué medida ha evolucionado y cuáles fueron las cuestiones sustanciales respecto al reconocimiento y evaluación de los instrumentos financieros.
Respecto al enfoque empírico, presentamos tres modelos cuya variable dependiente es el ratio de la Q de Tobin. La muestra de nuestro estudio comprende 162 empresas europeas de inversión financiera. Medimos los diferentes tipos de riesgo asociados a los instrumentos financieros considerando tanto las condiciones macroeconómicas como las características particulares de las empresas, ambas como medidas de control. A partir de estas proxies del riesgo, contrastamos las hipótesis formuladas a través de estimaciones con modelos de panel de efectos fijos. El resultado más relevante es que un mayor riesgo de inversión conduce a un menor rendimiento y que, además, las empresas de inversión financiera no están especialmente expuestas a este tipo de riesgo. Por otro lado, encontramos que el rendimiento de las empresas de inversión financiera es directamente proporcional al riesgo de liquidación y al riesgo de mercado
En la segunda parte de la investigación empírica realizada, presentamos evidencia adicional con el fin de garantizar la robustez de nuestros resultados. A tal fin, hemos realizado dos especificaciones adicionales de nuestro modelo básico de análisis con el fin de controlar posibles problemas de heterocedasticidad y de dependencia de los resultados a la definición de la variable dependiente. Las nuevas estimaciones obtenidas a través de estas especificaciones corroboran nuestros resultados.
