Abstract
Models for variances and covariances of asset returns are crucial in risk management and asset allocation. Traditionally, these models were based on daily returns. Daily opening, high, low and closing (OHLC) prices have been sometimes used in multivariate volatility models for variances, but not for correlations. We therefore suggest a new version of the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model wherein information from daily OHLC prices is utilized in both variance and correlation equations. The model is evaluated for two datasets: five exchange traded funds and five currencies. The results show that in terms of conditional covariance matrix estimates and forecasts the proposed model significantly outperforms, not only the standard DCC model, but also models that incorporate OHLC prices only in the variance equation.
