| Abstract: | Asset allocation and risk management models assume at least short-term stability of the covariance structure of asset returns, but actual covariance and correlation relationships fluctuate dramatically. The authors propose a framework to both explain these phenomena and to predict changes in correlation structure. The authors model correlations between assets as resulting from the common dependence of returns on a marketwide factor. The authors report that a large portion of the variation in correlation structures can be attributed to variation in market volatility. Moreover, market volatility contains enough predictability to construct useful forecasts of covariance. |
