We define risk spillover as the dependence of a given asset variance on the past covariances and variances of other assets. Building on this idea, we propose the use of a highly flexible and tractable model to forecast the volatility of an international equity portfolio. According to the risk...

The situation of a limited availability of historical data is frequently encountered in portfolio risk estimation, especially in credit risk estimation. This makes it, for example, difficult to find temporal structures with statistical significance in the data on the single asset level. By...

We propose a jump robust positive semidefinite rank-based estimator for the daily covariance matrix based on high-frequency intraday returns. It disentangles covariance estimation into variance and correlation components. This allows to estimate correlations over lower sampling frequencies, to...

We estimate the daily integrated variance and covariance of stock returns using high-frequency data in the presence of jumps, market microstructure noise and non-synchronous trading. For this we propose jump robust two time scale (co)variance estimators and verify their reduced bias and mean...

Oil is perceived as a good diversification tool for stock markets. To fully understand this potential, we propose a new empirical methodology that combines generalized autoregressive score copula functions with high frequency data and allows us to capture and forecast the conditional...

We develop a new methodology that measures conditional dependency. We achieve this by using copula functions that link marginal distributions, here chosen to obey a GARCH-type model with time-varying skewness and kurtosis. We apply this model to daily returns of stock-market indices. We find...

This report is a brief of the actual research and discusses two ways of asset allocation in Hedge Funds to generate alpha over the fund of hedge funds. The fund of hedge funds have fallen out of favour for investors seeking alternative investments as they have lagged the general market returns....

This study presents a survey on the current methodologies employed in the asset allocation industry. We review techniques from Modern Portfolio Theory and focus on the central role of the mean-variance optimization problem. The formalism of the Black-Litterman model is discussed with its...

Adaptive Asset Allocation builds on Harry Markowitz’s 1952 Modern Portfolio Theory by providing greater risk management to traditional static allocation models. By adjusting risk exposures within the portfolio in response to the macroeconomic environment, investors can reduce exposure to...
