In this paper, we explore the impact of investor time-horizon on an optimal downside hedged energy portfolio.
Previous studies have shown that minimum-variance hedging effectiveness improves for longer horizons using
variance ...

This paper examines the volatility and covariance dynamics of cash and futures
contracts that underlie the Optimal Hedge Ratio (OHR) across different hedging time
horizons. We examine whether hedge ratios calculated over ...
This paper investigates the hedging effectiveness of a dynamic moving window OLS hedging model, formed
using wavelet decomposed time-series. The wavelet transform is applied to calculate the appropriate dynamic
minimum-variance ...

Risk aversion is a key element of utility maximizing hedge strategies; however, it has
typically been assigned an arbitrary value in the literature. This paper instead applies a
GARCH-in-Mean (GARCH-M) model to estimate ...
Unlike mutual and pension funds, which are heavily regulated in most juristrictions, hedge funds are largely unregulated. Because they are not required to report to regulators and to the public, data on hedge fund performance ...

We examine the performance and diversification potential of 332 funds of hedge funds (FOHFs) for the period from January 1990 to May 2003. Consistent with prior studies, we find that FOHFs appear to underperform the hedge ...
