The Delta–Gamma Risk Surface

The Delta–Gamma risk surface provides a structured framework for understanding the non-linear behaviour of derivative positions. By capturing how sensitivity evolves across different levels of the underlying asset, it reveals the geometry of risk embedded within options. At MorMag, this perspective informs a disciplined approach to derivative analysis, integrating mathematical insight with practical understanding.

Robust Portfolio Optimisation

Robust portfolio optimisation provides a framework for constructing portfolios that account for uncertainty and estimation error. By incorporating variability into the optimisation process, it reduces sensitivity to inputs and enhances stability. At MorMag, this perspective informs a disciplined approach to portfolio construction, emphasising resilience, adaptability, and clarity of thought.

Swarmalators

Swarmalators provide a conceptual framework for understanding systems in which spatial organisation and temporal synchronisation are coupled. At MorMag, this perspective reinforces a broader approach to analysis in which markets are understood as evolving, interconnected systems.

The Bachelier Model

The Bachelier model offers a foundational perspective on financial markets, based on arithmetic Brownian motion and normally distributed price changes. At MorMag, this perspective reinforces a disciplined approach to quantitative analysis, in which models are selected and interpreted within the context of real-world conditions.

The Volatility Smile

The volatility smile is one of the most important empirical features of financial markets. It reflects the limitations of classical models, the presence of tail risk, and the influence of behaviour on pricing. At MorMag, this perspective supports a disciplined approach to interpreting markets, in which models are used as tools but not treated as complete representations of reality.

The Kuramoto Model and Financial Markets

Financial markets are often analysed through correlations. The Kuramoto model offers a powerful framework for understanding financial markets as systems in which synchronisation emerges from interaction. At MorMag, this perspective complements probabilistic modelling and regime analysis, supporting a more comprehensive understanding of market behaviour.
