Estimation of Large Financial Covariances: A Cross-Validation Approach
We introduce a novel covariance estimator for portfolio selection that adapts to the non-stationary or persistent heteroskedastic environments of financial time series by employing exponentially weighted averages and nonlinearly shrinking the sample eigenvalues through cross-validation. Our estimator is structure agnostic, transparent, and computationally feasible in large dimensions. By correcting the biases in the sample eigenvalues and aligning our estimator to more recent risk, we demonstrate that our estimator performs well in large dimensions against existing state-of-the-art static and dynamic covariance shrinkage estimators through simulations and with an empirical application in active portfolio management.

Fast calculation of Gaussian Process multiple-fold cross-validation residuals and their covariances
We generalize fast Gaussian process leave-one-out formulae to multiple-fold cross-validation, highlighting in turn the covariance structure of cross-validation residuals in both Simple and Universal Kriging frameworks. W…
Physics-Informed Singular-Value Learning for Cross-Covariances Forecasting in Financial Markets
Recent advances in nonlinear shrinkage yield asymptotically optimal cleaners for large covariance matrices and have been extended to empirical cross-covariances via singular-value shrinkage. However, these approaches rel…
Constructing Analytically Tractable Ensembles of Non-Stationary Covariances with an Application to Financial Data
In complex systems, crucial parameters are often subject to unpredictable changes in time. Climate, biological evolution and networks provide numerous examples for such non-stationarities. In many cases, improved statist…
Dynamic Covariance Models for Multivariate Financial Time Series
The accurate prediction of time-changing covariances is an important problem in the modeling of multivariate financial data. However, some of the most popular models suffer from a) overfitting problems and multiple local…

It is now widely accepted that, to model the dynamics of daily financial returns, volatility models have to incorporate the so-called leverage effect. We derive the asymptotic behaviour of the squared residuals autocovar…
