Does idiosyncratic volatility proxy for a missing risk factor? Evidence using portfolios as test assets

David Gempesaw et al.

Summary: This study found that the idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL) puzzle disappears when well-diversified portfolios are used as test assets, and weakens after controlling for additional risk factors. The results suggest that both diversifiable and nondiversifiable risk play a role in explaining the IVOL puzzle.

From zero to hero: Realized partial (co)variances

Tim Bollerslev et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new class of realized semivariance and semi-covariance measures, which allow for a finer decomposition of realized (co)variances by introducing multiple thresholds with different locations. Machine learning methods are adopted to choose the thresholds and maximize the out-of-sample forecast performance of time series models based on realized partial (co)variances.

Gram-Charlier methods, regime-switching and stochastic volatility in exponential Levy models

Soren Asmussen et al.

Summary: The text discusses the Gram-Charlier expansion of a target probability density and its application to regime-switching Levy processes, emphasizing the evaluation of moments of all orders of f(x) in terms of model primitives. It provides numerical examples and analysis for different scenarios.

The valid regions of Gram-Charlier densities with high-order cumulants

Wei Lin et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the application of truncated expansions of the Gram-Charlier series in approximating probability density functions. It proposes a method to implement valid regions of higher cumulants using a semi-definite algorithm. The results show that higher-order expansions can broaden the valid regions.

Quantitative portfolio selection: Using density forecasting to find consistent portfolios

N. Meade et al.

Summary: In this study, a new methodology is proposed to identify the consistency region in the risk-expected return space, where ex-post performance matches ex-ante estimates. By improving the accuracy of ex-ante estimates using the developed Berkowitz statistic, we demonstrate the superior performance of investment strategies based on consistency rather than efficiency.

The transformed Gram Charlier distribution: Parametric properties and financial risk applications

Angel Leon et al.

Summary: This paper extends the GC density and ensures positivity through a transformation. It investigates the parametric properties of the density and conditional properties under the TGARCH model. In an empirical application, it estimates tail index, reestimates density, VaR and ES, and conducts a comparative analysis.

A multi-period fuzzy mean-minimax risk portfolio model with investor's risk attitude

Xingyu Yang et al.

Summary: This paper discusses a multi-period portfolio selection problem considering investor's risk attitude in a fuzzy environment, using fuzzy numbers to represent the return rates of risky assets and an l(infinity) downside risk function to measure the portfolio's risk. The proposed model aims to maximize expected wealth and minimize cumulative risk, with a diversification constraint for risk-free assets, and is solved using a multiple particle swarm optimization method, demonstrating its effectiveness with a real case example.

Mean-variance versus utility maximization revisited: The case of constant relative risk aversion

Summary: Our research found that M-V portfolios are not a good proxy for CRRA portfolios, as they differ significantly in terms of downside risk. CRRA portfolios are more suitable for investors concerned about downside risk.

A new copula for modeling portfolios with skewed, leptokurtic and high-order dependent risk factors

Piero Quatto et al.

Summary: The paper introduces a new copula for modeling higher-order dependencies between pairs of portfolio assets, utilizing orthogonal polynomials to model symmetric co-kurtoses. The method is shown to be suitable for modeling financial data and computing risk measures, with empirical evidence supporting its potential range of applicability in comparison to widely used alternatives in the copula literature.

Diversified behavioral portfolio as an alternative to Modern Portfolio Theory

Yeny E. Rodriguez et al.

Summary: The traditional mean-variance approach has been enhanced by alternative theories using different risk measures and additional distributional features of returns. The proposed portfolio choice model integrates various distributional characteristics of returns and investor preferences, modeled as non-statistical uncertainties using fuzzy theory. The study demonstrates that diversified behavioral portfolios outperform the mean-variance portfolios, indicating the effectiveness of the new methodological proposal in making investment decisions.

Enrique Molina-Munoz et al.

Summary: The paper analyzes risk quantification for three main stock market index exchange-traded funds in world financial markets, comparing parametric and semi-nonparametric models. The study shows that peaks-over-threshold and flexible Gram-Charlier approximations are suitable for quantifying market risk.
