MARTINEZ PREECE, Marissa R.  y  VENEGAS MARTINEZ, Francisco. Market risk analysis for Mexico's pension funds: an autoregressive approach. Contad. Adm [online]. 2014, vol.59, n.3, pp.165-195. ISSN 0186-1042.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the market risk of two types of investment funds, Basic SIEFORE 1 (SB1) and Basic SIEFORE 2 (SB2). To do this, we propose a performance index that will be used in ARIMA-GARCH models and some of its extensions, with the purpose of examining the dynamic behavior of the returns and their volatility on such investment funds. Moreover, the risk premium of both types of funds is analyzed. One of the relevant research results is that yields obtained by these funds in the period studied, are not sufficient to offset the additional risk assumed by the pension funds including equity components. Finally, some remarks are made, on investment policy, about the market risk and how it is being measured and managed in these funds.
