L’elaborato si sviluppa attorno a due tipologie di uno strumento finanziario: gli ETF e i Fondi Pensione. Dopo una dettagliata esposizione di cosa sono, delle loro carat- teristiche, di come funzionano e di quali sono i loro vantaggi e svantaggi, ho ritenu- to opportuno, in modo tale da supportare la tesi, trattare argomenti che spiegassero concetti di natura più teorica, sia finanziaria che matematica. Sono stati affrontati te- mi di matematica finanziaria, in cui sono stati evidenziati alcuni risultati fondamentali, accompagnati da dimostrazioni matematiche; sono stati definiti concetti finanziari di natura puramente teorica, in modo da facilitare la comprensione dei temi centrali della tesi; si è parlato dei meccanismi in cui i soggetti dell’elaborato sono protagonisti e di cui fanno parte; ci sono confronti teorici e pratici tra essi. Sono stati trattati anche ar- gomenti più di contesto, con il fine di sottolineare come si è arrivati all’utilizzo di alcuni oggetti finanziari, del perchè funzionano in un certo modo a seconda della situazione in cui ci si trova. Nell’ultima parte è stata descritta l’idea che porta alla formulazione di modelli per l’analisi finanziaria dei rendimenti di questi strumenti. Come si vedrà, i rendimenti degli strumenti finanziari rispettanto una serie di caratteristiche statistiche che hanno portato alla necessità di formulare una particolarte classe di modelli che ne tenga conto. Per rendere più chiaro possibile quanto si trova dietro a tale formulazio- ne si è parlato, anche se non troppo nel dettaglio, di temi di natura puramente statistica.

Abstract
The paper develops around two types of financial instruments: ETFs and Retirement Funds. After a detailed explanation of what they are, their characteristics, how they work, and their advantages and disadvantages, I found it appropriate, in order to sup- port the thesis, to address topics that explain more theoretical concepts, both finan- cial and mathematical. Financial mathematics topics have been explored, highlighting some fundamental results accompanied by mathematical proofs. Purely theoretical fi- nancial concepts have been defined to facilitate the understanding of the core themes of the thesis. The mechanisms in which the subjects of the paper play a key role ha- ve been discussed, along with the interactions they are part of. Additionally, there are both theoretical and practical comparisons between them. Contextual topics have also been covered, aiming to emphasize how the use of certain financial instruments has evolved and why they operate in specific ways depending on the surrounding condi- tions. In the final part, the focus shifts to the idea behind the formulation of models for the financial analysis of these instruments’ returns. As will be shown, the returns of financial instruments follow a set of statistical properties, which has led to the need to develop a particular class of models that account for these characteristics. To make the reasoning behind such formulations as clear as possible, some statistical concepts have been discussed, although not in excessive detail.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
