Risk-based portfolios with large dynamic covariance matrices
Nakagawa, Kei; Imamura, Mitsuyoshi; Yoshida, Kenichi - In: International Journal of Financial Studies : open … 6 (2018) 2, pp. 1-14
In the field of portfolio management, practitioners are focusing increasingly on risk-based portfolios rather than on mean-variance portfolios. Risk-based portfolios are constructed based solely on covariance matrices, and include methods such as minimum variance (MV), risk parity (RP), and...

Beyond connectedness: a covariance decomposition based network risk model
Akovalı, Umut - 2020
This study extends the Diebold-Yilmaz Connectedness Index (DYCI) methodology and, based on forecast error covariance decompositions, derives a network risk model for a portfolio of assets. As a normalized measure of the sum of variance contributions, system-wide connectedness averages out the...

Measuring the Risk-Return Tradeoff with Time-Varying Conditional Covariances
Hedegaard, Esben - 2014
We examine the prediction of Merton's intertemporal CAPM that time varying risk premiums arise from the conditional covariances of returns on assets with the return on the market and other state variables. We find a positive and significant price of risk for the covariance with the market return...

Macro-financial linkages in the high-frequency domain : the effects of uncertainty on realized volatility
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Karanasos, Menelaos; Yfanti, … - 2019
This paper estimates a bivariate HEAVY system including daily and intra-daily volatility equations and its macro …-augmented asymmetric power extension. It focuses on economic factors that exacerbate stock market volatility and represent major threats to … commodity markets on stock market realized volatility.

Assessment of Uncertainty in High Frequency Data : The Observed Asymptotic Variance
Mykland, Per A. - 2016
The availability of high frequency financial data has generated a series of estimators based on intra-day data, improving the quality of large areas of financial econometrics. However, estimating the standard error of these estimators is often challenging. The root of the problem is that...

On the diversification of portfolios of risky assets
Frahm, Gabriel; Wiechers, Christof - 2011
We introduce a measure of diversification for portfolios comprising d risky assets. This measure relates the smallest possible return variance among these d assets to the overall portfolio return variance, yielding the portion of non-diversifiable risk. In the context of normally distributed...

Stock returns and risk : evidence from quantile
Chiang, Thomas C.; Li, Jiandong - In: Journal of risk and financial management : JRFM 5 (2012) 1, pp. 20-58
This paper employs weighted least squares to examine the risk-return relation by applying high-frequency data from four major stock indexes in the US market and finds some evidence in favor of a positive relation between the mean of the excess returns and expected risk. However, by using...
