Abstract
We propose a conditional correlation model with long memory dependence and smooth structural change. Previous literature has considered correlation and covariance models with structural change or long memory, but this is the first paper to jointly model both features. The correlation matrix is decomposed into long and short run components. Short run correlations converge hypergeometrically towards a slow moving long run correlation matrix that evolves according to one or more flexible Fourier forms. The model is applied to two data sets: a US equity portfolio; and a US equity, bond, gold and oil portfolio. Model fit and out of sample forecasts over 1 to 60 day horizons support the proposed approach.
