The GARCH-EVT-Copula Approach to Investigating Dependence and Quantifying Risk in a Portfolio of Bitcoin and the South African Rand
2024
Overview
This study uses a hybrid model of the exponential generalised auto-regressive conditional heteroscedasticity (eGARCH)-extreme value theory (EVT)-Gumbel copula model to investigate the dependence structure between Bitcoin and the South African Rand, and quantify the portfolio risk of an equally weighted portfolio. The Gumbel copula, an extreme value copula, is preferred due to its versatile ability to capture various tail dependence structures. To model marginals, firstly, the eGARCH(1, 1) model is fitted to the growth rate data. Secondly, a mixture model featuring the generalised Pareto distribution (GPD) and the Gaussian kernel is fitted to the standardised residuals from an eGARCH(1, 1) model. The GPD is fitted to the tails while the Gaussian kernel is used in the central parts of the data set. The Gumbel copula parameter is estimated to be α=1.007, implying that the two currencies are independent. At 90%, 95%, and 99% levels of confidence, the portfolio’s diversification effects (DE) quantities using value at risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES) show that there is evidence of a reduction in losses (diversification benefits) in the portfolio compared to the risk of the simple sum of single assets. These results can be used by fund managers, risk practitioners, and investors to decide on diversification strategies that reduce their risk exposure.
