Risk Management under Volatility Clustering

Introduction

Here are a few things covered during this week.

• What is the objective of risk management?
  • To create a statistical model for future returns , in particular the left tail.
  • Model if often based on historical returns ( the only thing that we can observe)
  • Future Distribution of Returns(TR) = Function (Historical Returns , Some assumptions)
• Modelling assumptions so far
  • Future Distribution ( WILSHIRE 5000/ index fund) == Historical Distribution ( True for some time but not always)
    • Currently our distribution of choice is re-scaled T-distribution as it models the data better than normal distribution .
    • We have also simulated observed distribution from the data
  • Parameters of historical distribution ( mean, sigma and/ or df) are calculated without paying attention to the ordering of the data
    • Implies, even if we randomly permeates logret series distribution parameter will still be same.
• What if we have some information in the past which can inform us about the future distribution for logret? In other words, what is the impact of serial correlation if any.
• Serial correlation
  • Positive serial correlation - an above average return ( > mean) tend to be followed by another above - average return
  • Negative serial correlation - above average return is followed by below average return
  • No correlation / random wal k - an above average return does not increase the likelihood of being followed by an above avg or below avg return.
  • There was a long history of research in financial markets that look at serial correlation. Now to understand what serial correlation means,
  • Correlation - let’s start with the correlation between two variables, let’s say, X and Y. The correlation coefficient between X and Y measures how they co-move together. We say that X and Y are positively correlated when they tend to move up and down together. To be more precise, if X is above its mean, then Y is likely to be also above its mean.
  • Serial correlation - How a variable X and its own past are correlated?
• Significance of serial correlation in Finance is associated with the concept of Market Efficiency.

  • The theory of market efficiency says that the observed price of an asset such as a stock, fully reflects all information about that asset

  • When new information comes in, it will change the price of the asset. Good news presumably will lead to an increase in its price. Conversely, bad news will lead to a decrease in its price.

  • Now, because all existing information has been incorporated in the price of an asset, any new information must be a surprise.

  • If the surprise is good news, the price of the asset will go up, and if the surprise is bad news, the price of the asset will go down. But there is no way to tell ahead of time whether the news is good or bad. So there is no way to tell if the price will go up or down.

  • This is so called random walk model of prices.

  • This random walk model just says there is no way to predict if the future price of an asset will go up or go down relative to its current price.

  • An implication of the random walk model is that returns have no serial correlation. So testing for serial correlation in stock return has been viewed as testing for market efficiency

• Motivation & Definition for Volatility Clustering - In financial time series data, it is often observed

  • Large returns +ve/ -ve negative tend to be followed by more large returns

    • High Volatility days are followed by more High Volatility days

    • Low Volatility days are followed by more Low Volatility days

  • This phenomenon is called Volatility clustering

  • It is calculated mathematically by measuring autocorrelation of absolute values of log returns

  • A time series exhibiting Volatility clustering implies ordering of the data is important

  • Strong volatility clustering implies we can predict volatility of stock prices for future values based on the past values.

  • This is exploited in GARCH model ( Generalized Auto-regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity)

  • We can test volatility clustering/ effect of ordering by

    • Plotting acf on absolute values of logreturns - ( Should show strong evidence of serial correlation )

    • Shuffling/ Permeating returns and apply same logic again ( Should show no evidence of serial correlation on shuffled series)

• GARCH model
  • WILSHIRE 5000 ACF plot indicates no/ weak evidence of serial correlation => Difficult to predict mean of future values based on historical values
  • WILSHIRE 5000 ABS(ACF) plot indicates strong volatility clustering =>Volatility / Standard Deviation is changing over time in a predictable manner.
  • What we want is a statistical model which allows us to predict future volatility- GARCH
  • GARCH model has many extensions. We are going to focus on GARCH(1,1). It is one of the simplest GARCH model .But it does a very good job on WILSHIRE 5000 data in modelling volatility clustering.
  • GARCH(1,1)-normal model is equivalent to normal model when we assume constant variance.

    • Equations

      $$\begin{align} & \text{Mean Equation: }r_t = a_0 + \sqrt{h_t}\epsilon_t \\ & \text{Variance Equation: } h_t = \alpha_0 + \beta_1 h_{t-1} + \alpha_1\epsilon_{t-1} \\ &\text{Distribution Equation: } \epsilon_t \sim N(0,1) \end{align}$$

    • Notations:

      • $a_0$ : Expected Returns
      • $\sqrt{h_t}\epsilon_t$ : Unexpected Returns
      • $r_t$ : Total returns of series with time varying volatility
      • $h_t$ : predictable variance of $r_t$ changing over time
      • $\epsilon_t$ : Normal Distribution

    • If $h_t$ is constant above equation reduces to normal model for logret.

    • For Volatility clustering to happen: $\alpha_1 > 0 \text{ and } \beta_1 >0$

  • GARCH(1,1)-t model is equivalent to normal model when we assume constant variance.

    • Equations

      $$\begin{align} & \text{Mean Equation: }r_t = a_0 + \sqrt{h_t}\epsilon_t \\ & \text{Variance Equation: } h_t = \alpha_0 + \beta_1 h_{t-1} + \alpha_1\epsilon_{t-1} \\ &\text{Distribution Equation: } \epsilon_t \sim \frac{t(v)}{\sqrt{\frac{v}{v-2}}} \end{align}$$

    • Here we replace chosen distribution (norm) with re-scaled -t model

• 1-day ahead garch model can be simulated using ugarchboot function.
  • VaR and ES from garch take time ordering into account
  • When Fitted values are low => VaR and ES are also low.( Only apply for 1-day)
  • Why is GARCH model better?
    • When volatility is high => Risk is also high => Portfolio manager can take some action to mitigate risk
    • When volatility is low => Risk is low => No action as risk reduction may be costlier to portfolio.
• VaR graph can be produced by using ugarchroll function.
• Summary
  • Basics of Financial risk management
  • Analyze logret of portfolio
  • Distribution: typically non-normal
  • We also have volatility clustering : a behavior typical of asset returns
  • GARCH(1,1)-t can explain both
  • VaR and ES change over time
  • Ideas can be applied to different types of portfolios
    • Margin borrowing: $10 K stocks with
      • $5K your money
      • $5k from a brokerage firm
      • This is a margin position
        • You are hoping to make money from stock price going up
        • Risk -> Price can go down. How much money can you afford to loose -> ES over a time period( like 10 days) with a certain confidence level( like 95%)
    • Stock/Bond Portfolio:
      • Retirement Account
        • 50% US Equities
        • 50% long term corporate bond
        • Plan to retire in 1 year
        • No plan to add more money or take money out next year
        • How much can you loose in 1 year?
        • Can you afford to loose this amount of money for retirement in 1 year?

wilsh |> logret_1() |> acf()

ACF Intrepretation

• Dashed lines represent 95% confidence interval for ACF

• If many vertical lines are outside dashed band => We have evidence of serial correlation.

• If all or most lines are inside dashed bands => no strong evidence of serial correlation.

• Above plot shows , We do not find much evidence of serial correlation in the daily log returns of the Wilshire 5000 index. That means the direction of stock prices are not predictable.

Volatility Clustering

wilsh |> logret_1() |> abs() |> acf()

All lines for autocorrelation on absolute values are above dashed band showing strong possibility of serial correlation and thus volatility clustering

wilsh |> logret_1() |> abs() |> as.vector() |> sample(size=nrow(wilsh)-1) |> acf()

• Shuffled plot shows no serial correlation

• These two plots in combination show strong effect of ordering

Interpretation of Garch(1,1) - normal model

• For a normal distribution to be true fitted e(t) should have

  • mean=0, sd=1, skewness=0, kurtosis=3

  • Jacque bera test should be able to confirm normality

• Kurtosis of our data is around 21.8 . Our fitted distribution is around 6.44 and normal distribution expects it to be 3 => GARCH model is able to explain quite a lot but not all of the heavy tail

• ACF curves for fitted value indicated no serial correlation

• ACF curves for absolute fitted value indicate no serial correlation and thus, no volatility clustering => Variance equation in GARCH model is able to explain all volatility clustering in our data

• Conclusion: GARCH(1,1) - normal model can explain

  • Volatility clustering of our data

  • Some but not all of heavy tails of the data

  • To have better explanation of distribution we need to change distribution equation.
