Breve descrizione dei contenuti:

We present a hybrid method for computing volatility forecasts that can be used to implement a risk-controlled strategy for a multi-asset portfolio consisting of both US and international equities. Recent years have been characterized by extremely low yields, with 2022 marked by rising interest rates and an increasing inflation rate. These factors produced new challenges for both private and institutional investors, including the need for robust forecast methods for financial assets' volatilities. Addressing such task, our research focuses on a hybrid solution that combines classical statistical models with specific classes of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). In particular, we first use the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) approach within the preprocessing phase to capture volatility clustering, striking an efficient balance between computational effort and accuracy, to then apply RNN architectures, namely GRU, LSTM, and a mixed model with both units, as to maximize performances of volatility forecasts later used as input factors for risk-controlled investment strategies. In terms of portfolio allocation, we focus on a simplified version of the Risk Parity method that was first proposed by the Research division of S&P Global. This version ignores the contribution of cross-correlations among assets, nevertheless providing encouraging results. Indeed, we show the effectiveness of the chosen approach by providing forward-looking risk parity portfolio strategies that outperform standard risk/return portfolio structures.
