We consider the problem of ex-ante forecasting conditional correlation patterns using ultra high frequency data. Flexible semiparametric predictors referring to the class of dynamic panel and dynamic factor models are adopted for daily forecasts. The parsimonious set up of our approach allows to...

Statistical inferences for weights of the global minimum variance portfolio (GMVP) are of both theoretical and practical relevance for mean-variance portfolio selection. Daily realized GMVP weights depend only on realized covariance matrix computed from intraday highfrequency returns. In this...

We propose a Conditional Autoregressive Wishart (CAW) model for the analysis of realized covariance matrices of asset returns. Our model assumes a generalized linear autoregressive moving average structure for the scale matrix of the Wishart distribution allowing to accommodate for complex...

We propose direct multiple time series models for predicting high dimensional vectors of observable realized global minimum variance portfolio (GMVP) weights computed based on high-frequency intraday returns. We apply Lasso regression techniques, develop a class of multiple AR(FI)MA models for...
