  1. 1. Dynamic Covariance Modelling Using Generalised Wishart Processes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Fredrik Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Covariance matrix; generalised Wishart process; Bayesian inference; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Hamiltonian Monte Carlo; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Modern portfolio theory was pioneered by Markowitz who formulated the mean-variance problem, without which any discussion on quantitative approaches to portfolio selection would be incomplete. The framework boils down to finding the expected return $\mu$ and covariance $\Sigma$, after which the solution is proportional to $\Sigma^{-1}\mu$. READ MORE

    Abstract : In this thesis, the Black-Litterman model is evaluated out-of-sample and compared to mean-variance and naïve allocation. Two references are implemented in the Black-Litterman framework, the minimum-variance and naive portfolios. The study complements previ-ous work by considering a stock-dominated portfolio, where all assets are from the U.S. READ MORE

    Abstract : Optimal portfolios have historically been computed using standard deviation as a risk measure.However, extreme market events have become the rule rather than the exception. To capturetail risk, investors have started to look for alternative risk measures such as Value-at-Risk andConditional Value-at-Risk. READ MORE
