- d4) Assume that the MLIK100 Index at close of trading yesterday was 4,000 and the daily volatility of the index was estimated as 0.8% per day at that time. The parameters in a GJR GARCH model are ω = 0.000005, α = 0.08, = 0.04 and β = 0.92. Where is the asymmetry parameter. If the MLIK100 moves by 50 points by close of trading today, what will the new volatility estimate be, per day, if the move is an increase or a decrease?arrow_forward27 - Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Suppose the returns on two stocks are negatively correlated. One has a beta of 1.2 as determined in a regression analysis using data for the last 5 years, while the other has a beta of −6. The returns on the stock with the negative beta must have been negatively correlated with returns on most other stocks during that 5-year period. Suppose you are managing a stock portfolio, and you have information that leads you to believe the stock market is likely to be very strong in the immediate future. That is, you are convinced that the market is about to rise sharply. You should sell your high-beta stocks and buy low-beta stocks in order to take advantage of the expected market move. You think that investor sentiment is about to change, and investors are about to become more risk averse. This suggests that you should re-balance your portfolio to include more high-beta stocks.
