This article assesses the ability of flexible dynamic correlation specifications to improve asset allocation decisions. To that end, we use the recently proposed Rotated Dynamic Conditional Correlation (RDCC) model that enables the estimation of models with high degree of parameterization and...

In this study, we propose the use of Heterogeneous Autoregressive (HAR) type realized volatility models in combination with the Extreme Value Theory (EVT) method for Value-at-Risk (VaR) forecasting. The proposed model accounts for the long memory property of the realized volatility and the fat...
