Volatility The previous chapter focused on the volatility of a single asset In most we hold a portfolio of assets And therefore need to estimate both the volatility of each asset in the portfolio And the correlations between all the assets This means that it is much more complicated to estimate multivariate volatility models than univariate models Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 3 of 81

The focus of this chapter is on EWMA Orthogonal GARCH CCC and DCC models Estimation comparison Multivariate extensions of GARCH (MV GARCH and BEKK) Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 4 of 81

Matlab estimation It is easy to implement EWMA directly in Matlab For the other models it is generally best to use some library functions The only one I know of is Kevin Sheppard s MFE toolbox www.kevinsheppard.com/mfe Toolbox His documentation lags behind the code and does not mention the multivariate volatility functions But if you download the toolbox you can see his code and each function is documented at the top Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 8 of 81

Multivariate Volatility Forecasting Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 9 of 81

Consider the univariate volatility model: Y t = σ t Z t where Y t are returns, σ t is conditional volatility and Z t are random shocks If there are K > 1 assets under consideration, it is necessary to indicate which asset and parameters are being referred to, so the notation becomes more cluttered: Y t,i = σ t,i Z t,i where the first subscript indicates the date and the second subscript the asset Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 10 of 81

Conditional covariance matrix Σ t The conditional covariance between two assets i and j is indicated by: Cov(Y t,i,y tj ) σ t,ij In the three-asset case (note that σ t,ij = σ t,ji ): σ t,11 Σ t = σ t,12 σ t,22 σ t,13 σ t,23 σ t,33 Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 11 of 81

Portfolios If w is the vector of portfolio weights The portfolio variance is σ 2 portfolio = w Σw Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 12 of 81

The curse of dimensionality Number of diagonal elements is K and off diagonal elements K(K 1)/2 so in all K +K(K 1)/2 For two assets it is 2+1, for 3 assets 3+4, for 4 10, etc. The explosion in the number of variance and especially covariance terms, as the number of assets increases, is known as the curse of dimensionality This is one reason why it is more difficult to estimate the covariance matrix Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 13 of 81

Positive semi-definiteness For univariate volatility we need to ensure that the variance is not negative (σ 2 0) And for a portfolio σ 2 portfolio = w Σw 0 So a covariance matrix should be positive semi-definite: Σ 0 This can be difficult to ensure Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 14 of 81

What about multivariate (MV) GARCH? For one asset For two σ 2 t+1 = ω +αy2 t +βσ 2 t σ 2 t+1,1 = ω 1 +α 1 y 2 t,1 +β 2σ 2 t,1 +α 2y 2 t,2 +β 2σ 2 t,2 +δ 1σ 2 t+1,1,2 +γ 1y t,1 y t,2 σ 2 t+1,2 = ω 2 +α 3 y 2 t,1 +β 3σ 2 t,1 +α 4y 2 t,2 +β 4σ 2 t,2 +δ 2σ 2 t+1,1,2 +γ 2y t,1 y t,2 σ 2 t+1,1,2 = ω 3 +α 5 y 2 t,1 +β 5σ 2 t,1 +α 6y 2 t,2 +β 6σ 2 t,2 +δ 3σ 2 t+1,1,2 +γ 3y t,1 y t,2 Or 21 parameters to estimate Almost impossible in practice Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 15 of 81

Numerical issues Stationarity is more important for multivariate volatility For univariate GARCH model, violation of covariance stationarity does not hinder the estimation process with numerical problems A univariate volatility forecast is still obtained even if α+β > 1 This is generally not the case for MV GARCH models A parameter set resulting in violation of covariance stationarity might also lead to unpleasant numerical problems Numerical algorithms need to address these problems, thus complicating the programming process considerably Problems with multiple local minima, flat surfaces and other pathologies discussed in the last chapter Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 16 of 81

Instead Use some simplification approaches Unfortunately they come with significant trade-offs So MV estimation is much harder and much less accurate than univariate estimation 1. EWMA 2. CCC 3. DCC (perhaps most widely used for portfolios ) 4. OGARCH (perhaps most widely used for combining portfolios) 5. BEKK (not to be recommended except for very small problems, K = 2, perhaps K = 3) 6. MV GARCH (practically impossible except maybe when K = 2) Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 17 of 81

EWMA Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 18 of 81

Univariate: A vector of returns is EWMA model The multivariate EWMA is: ˆσ 2 t = λˆσ2 t 1 +(1 λ)y2 t 1 y t = [y t,1,y t,2,...,y t,k ] K 1 ˆΣ t = λˆσ t 1 +(1 λ)y t 1 y t 1 with an individual element given by: ˆσ t,ij = λˆσ t 1,ij +(1 λ)y t 1,i y t 1,j Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 19 of 81

Properties The same weight, λ, is used for all assets It is pre-specified and not estimated The variance of any particular asset only depends on its own lags Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 20 of 81

Pros and cons of multivariate EWMA model Usefulness: Straightforward implementation, even for a large number of assets Covariance matrix is guaranteed to be positive semi-definite Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 21 of 81

Pros and cons of multivariate EWMA model Usefulness: Straightforward implementation, even for a large number of assets Covariance matrix is guaranteed to be positive semi-definite Drawbacks: Restrictiveness: Simple structure The assumption of a single and usually non-estimated λ Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 22 of 81

Matlab estimation Can use the MFE library riskmetrics (y,lambda) Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 23 of 81

EWMA = nan(t,3); % create a matrix to hold the covariance matrix lambda = 0.94 S = cov(y) % initial (t=1) covariance matrix Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 24 of 81

Be careful with the matrix multiplications, getting the transposes right for i = 2:T % loop though the sample S = lambda S + (1 lambda) y(i,:) y(i,:); EWMA(i,:) = S([1,4,2]); % convert matrix to vector end EWMArho = EWMA(:,3)./ sqrt (EWMA(:,1). EWMA(:,2)) % calculate correlations % note the matrix multiplication. Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 25 of 81

Constant Conditional Correlation Models Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 26 of 81

Steps De-mean returns Separate out correlation modelling from volatility modelling 1. correlation matrix 2. variances Model volatilities with GARCH or some standard method The correlation matrix can be static (CCC) or dynamic (DCC) Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 27 of 81

Definitions Let D t be a diagonal matrix where each element is the volatility of each asset D t,ii = σ t,i, i = 1,...,K D t,ij = 0, i j Use univariate GARCH (or some method) to estimate the variance of each asset separately, i.e. to get D t D t,ii = σ t,i = ω i +α i yt 1,i 2 +β iσt 1,i 2, i = 1,...,K Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 28 of 81

We want the correlations of the residuals ǫ t,i := y t,i D t,i ǫ t := Dt 1 y t K 1 And Then the correlations are ǫ T K ˆR := Cov(ǫ) = ǫǫ t T Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 29 of 81

Constant conditional correlations (CCC) Then combine these two ˆΣ t = ˆD t ˆR ˆDt Note that while D is time dependent, R is not Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 30 of 81

Pros and cons Pros Guarantees the positive definiteness of ˆΣ t if ˆR is positive definite Simple model, easy to implement Since matrix ˆD t has only diagonal elements, we can estimate each volatility separately Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 31 of 81

Pros and cons Pros Guarantees the positive definiteness of ˆΣ t if ˆR is positive definite Simple model, easy to implement Since matrix ˆD t has only diagonal elements, we can estimate each volatility separately Cons The assumption of correlations being constant over time is at odds with the vast amount of empirical evidence supporting nonlinear dependence Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 32 of 81

Dynamic Conditional Correlation Models Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 33 of 81

Dynamic conditional correlations (DCC) DCC model is an extension of the the CCC Let the correlation matrix ˆR t be time dependent While one might propose a model like R t = a+bǫ t 1 ǫ t 1 +cr t 1 That will not work since we have to ensure Σ t > 0, i.e. positive definite. For that: D t is positive definite by construction since all elements in D t are positive All elements in R t need to be 1 and 1 Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 34 of 81

So need more steps Decompose R t into R t = Q t Q tq t Q t is a positive definite matrix that dives the dynamics Qt re-scales Q t to ensure each element q t,ij < 1 1/ q t,11 0 0 0 1/ q t,22 0 Q t =.... 0 0 1/ q t,kk Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 35 of 81

The have Q t follow an ARMA type process Q t = (1 ζ ξ)q +ζǫ t 1 ǫ t 1 +ξq t 1 Q is the (K K) unconditional covariance matrix of ǫ ζ and ξ are parameters Parameter restrictions: Positive definiteness ζ,ξ > 0 Stationarity ζ +ξ < 1 Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 36 of 81

Pros and cons of DCC Pros Large covariance matrices can be easily be estimated Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 37 of 81

Pros and cons of DCC Pros Large covariance matrices can be easily be estimated Cons Parameters ζ and ξ are constants So the conditional correlations of all assets are driven by the same underlying dynamics, parameters are same for all assets Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 38 of 81

Matlab estimation in 2 asset case [p, lik, Ht] = dcc(y,1,1,1,1) Ht = reshape (Ht,4,T) ; % because Ht comes as a time vector of one % period matrixes % so need to convert those % into a T by 4 matrix DCCrho = Ht(:,3)./ sqrt(ht(:,1). Ht(:,4)); Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 39 of 81

Orthogonal GARCH Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 40 of 81

Large problems Even a medium-sized financial institutions will have hundreds of thousands or millions of types of assets what is known as risk factors Estimating the covariance matrix for the entire institution is effectively impossible using methods like EWMA or DCC Instead, we can split the risk factors up into subcomponents Estimate the covariance of each And then combine them back Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 41 of 81

For example Bonds Bank US China Commodities S&P 100 Index Equities S&P 400 Mid Cap Index Bonds Equities Brazil Bonds Equities Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 42 of 81

The orthogonal approach transforms the observed returns matrix into a set of portfolios with the key property that they are uncorrelated We can forecast their volatilities separately Principal components analysis (PCA) Known as orthogonal GARCH, or OGARCH Because it involves transforming correlated returns into uncorrelated portfolios and then using GARCH to forecast the volatilities of each uncorrelated portfolio separately Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 43 of 81

Idea We have a matrix of returns With covariance matrix Let Then the correlations are Y T K Σ K K D = diagσ R = D 1 ΣD 1 Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 44 of 81

Orthogonalizing covariance Making covariance uncorrelated Transform the return matrix Y into uncorrelated portfolios U Calculate the K K matrix of eigenvectors of R Denote the matrix Λ U is defined as: U = Λ Y Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 45 of 81

Large-scale implementations Large number of assets The method also allows estimates for volatilities and correlations of variables to be generated even when data are sparse (e.g., in illiquid markets) The use of PCA guarantees the positive definiteness of the covariance matrix PCA also facilitates building a covariance matrix for an entire financial institution by iteratively combining the covariance matrices of the various trading desks, simply by using one or perhaps two PCs Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 46 of 81

BEKK Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 75 of 81

The BEKK model An alternative to the MV-GARCH models The matrix of conditional covariances is Σ t A function of the outer product of lagged returns and lagged conditional covariances Each pre-multiplied and post-multiplied by a parameter matrix Results in a quadratic function that is guaranteed to be positive semi-definite Financial Risk Forecasting 2011,2017 Jon Danielsson, page 76 of 81
