Three particular models of dependence in asset returns with non-Gaussian marginals are investigated on daily return data for sector exchange traded funds. The first model is a full rank Gaussian copula (FGC). The second models returns as a linear mixture of independent Lévy processes (LML). The...

Models of dependence in asset returns with non-Gaussian marginals are investigated on ETF daily return data. The first is a full rank Gaussian copula. The second is a linear mixture of independent Lévy processes. The third correlates Gaussian components in a variance gamma representation. On a...
