According to no-arbitrage, risk-adjusted returns should be unpredictable. Using several prominent factor models and a large cross-section of anomalies, we find that past pricing errors predict future risk-adjusted anomaly returns. We show that past pricing errors can be interpreted as deviations...

We propose a model to forecast very large realized covariance matrices of returns, applying it to the constituents of the S&P 500 on a daily basis. To address the curse of dimensionality, we decompose the return covariance matrix using standard firm-level factors (e.g., size, value and...
