This study examines abnormal stock returns associated with both the date a convertible bond issue is announced and the date it is sold. Results suggest the negative stock price effects observed I this and previous studies are due to the equity component inherent in convertible bonds, and an easily observed measure of that equity component is offered. In addition, results suggest that convertible bond issues sold by firms with previously issued outstanding convertibles are met with larger negative abnormal equity returns.

Convertible instruments are financial instruments embedded with conversion rights such as convertible bonds or convertible preferred stocks. Under the Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS), the embedded conversion rights with certain conditions (i.e., a refixing clause) are recognized as derivative liabilities and are recognized at fair value in issuer’s financial statements. Since the value of convertible rights varies with the underlying stock value, an increase in the issuers’ stock price causes the issuers of convertible instruments to announce large derivative valuation losses. Using disclosures under the title of ‘Loss from Derivatives Trading’ from the KOREA EXCHANGE (KRX) during January 2016 through December 2019, this study examines market reactions to the disclosure of valuation losses on conversion rights embedded in convertible instruments. We find the following results. First, abnormal stock returns on the loss announcement date are significantly negative. Second, abnormal trading volumes peak on the loss announcement date. Third, abnormal stock returns persist in the long-term. Collectively, our findings suggest that investors perceive the loss disclosures as negative news, but fail to impound the information into issuer’s stock prices effectively. This study emphasizes the importance of education on convertible instruments and improvement in the disclosure requirements on valuation losses of conversion rights embedded in convertible instruments by providing evidence that investors face difficulty in understanding the related disclosures.

This paper is devoted to evaluating the convertible bonds within the framework of uncertainty theory. Under the assumption that the underlying stock price follows an uncertain differential equation driven by Liu process, the price formulas of convertible bonds and the callable convertible bonds are derived by using the method of uncertain calculus. Finally, two numerical examples are discussed.

AbstractThis study examines the ways political events can affect the stock prices of politically connected firms by studying one of the biggest corruption scandals in modern South Korean history, which led to the first-ever impeachment of a sitting president. We analyzed the stock returns of firms that donated money to foundations allegedly controlled by the president's confidante. We found that the abnormal stock returns of politically connected firms decreased when the president was removed from office. Using tick-by-tick stock price data, we were able to pinpoint the exact moments when the stock prices of firms that donated money fluctuated, as the president's fate was determined by the justices of the Constitutional Court.

AbstractWe study the effects of investor protection on stock returns and portfolio allocation decisions. In our theoretical model, if investor protection is weak, wealthy investors have an incentive to become controlling shareholders. In equilibrium, the stock price reflects the demand from both controlling shareholders and portfolio investors. Due to the high demand from controlling shareholders, the price of weak corporate governance stocks is not low enough to fully discount the extraction of private benefits. Thus, stocks have lower expected returns when investor protection is weak. This has implications for domestic and foreign investors’ stockholdings. In particular, we show that portfolio investors’ participation in the domestic stock market and home equity bias are positively related to investor protection and provide original evidence in their support.

This paper presents a new model for valuing hybrid defaultable financial instruments, such as, convertible bonds. In contrast to previous studies, the model relies on the probability distribution of a default jump rather than the default jump itself, as the default jump is usually inaccessible. As such, the model can back out the market prices of convertible bonds. A prevailing belief in the market is that convertible arbitrage is mainly due to convertible underpricing. Empirically, however, we do not find evidence supporting the underpricing hypothesis. Instead, we find that convertibles have relatively large positive gammas. As a typical convertible arbitrage strategy employs delta-neutral hedging, a large positive gamma can make the portfolio highly profitable, especially for a large movement in the underlying stock price.
