Multivariate Affine GARCH with Heavy Tails: A Unified Framework for Portfolio Optimization and Option Valuation
This paper develops and estimates a multivariate affine GARCH(1,1) model with Normal Inverse Gaussian innovations that captures time-varying volatility, heavy tails, and dynamic correlation across asset returns. We generalize the Heston-Nandi framework to a multivariate setting and apply it to 30 Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks. The model jointly supports three core financial applications: dynamic portfolio optimization, wealth path simulation, and option pricing. Closed-form solutions are derived for a Constant Relative Risk Aversion (CRRA) investor's intertemporal asset allocation, and we implement a forward-looking risk-adjusted performance comparison against Merton-style constant strategies. Using the model's conditional volatilities, we also construct implied volatility surfaces for European options, capturing skew and smile features. Empirically, we document substantial wealth-equivalent utility losses from ignoring time-varying correlation and tail risk. These findings underscore the value of a unified econometric framework for analyzing joint asset dynamics and for managing portfolio and derivative exposures under non-Gaussian risks.

CoVaR with volatility clustering, heavy tails and non-linear dependence
In this paper we estimate the conditional value-at-risk by fitting different multivariate parametric models capturing some stylized facts about multivariate financial time series of equity returns: heavy tails, negative …

We propose a novel probabilistic model to facilitate the learning of multivariate tail dependence of multiple financial assets. Our method allows one to construct from known random vectors, e.g., standard normal, sophist…
Regularizing stock return covariance matrices via multiple testing of correlations
This paper develops a large-scale inference approach for the regularization of stock return covariance matrices. The framework allows for the presence of heavy tails and multivariate GARCH-type effects of unknown form am…
