The News in Financial Asset Returns
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta E C O N O M I C R E V I E W First Quarter 2004 A re returns on financial markets useful for predicting the future course of the economy? It is widely thought that financial markets’ movements reflect the economy’s future and that finding the message in financial asset returns is one way to discern this future. The message is not always clear, though. For example,...
متن کاملModelling asset return using multivariate asymmetric mixture models with applications to estimation of Value-at-Risk
Value-at-Risk (VaR) is a widely used statistical measure in financial risk management for quantifying the level of risk associated with a specific investment portfolio. It is well-known that historical return data exhibit non-normal features, such as heavy tails and skewness. Current analytical (parameteric) calculation of VaR typically assumes the distribution of the portfolio return to be a n...
متن کاملPortfolio optimization when asset returns have the Gaussian mixture distribution
Portfolios of assets whose returns have the Gaussian mixture distribution are optimized in the static setting to find portfolio weights and efficient frontiers using the probability of outperforming a target return and Hodges’ modified Sharpe ratio objective functions. The sensitivities of optimal portfolio weights to the probability of the market being in the distressed regime are shown to giv...
متن کاملContinuous cascade models for asset returns
In this paper, we make a short overview of continuous cascade models recently introduced to model asset return fluctuations. We show that these models account in a very parcimonious manner for most of “stylized facts” of financial time series. We review in more details the simplest of such models namely the log-normal Multifractal Random Walk. It can simply be considered as a stochastic volatil...
متن کاملAsset returns and volatility clustering in financial time series
An analysis of the stylized facts in financial time series is carried out. We find that, instead of the heavy tails in asset return distributions, the slow decay behaviour in autocorrelation functions of absolute returns is actually directly related to the degree of clustering of large fluctuations within the financial time series. We also introduce an index to quantitatively measure the cluste...
