Abstract

Financial time series data exhibits heavy tailed, volatility clustering and long range dependence style facts. Traditional Gaussian distribution assumption based model failed to explain these phenomena. A unified framework model proposed in this thesis, fractionally integrated autoregressive moving average (FARIMA) and fractionally integrated generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (FIGARCH) with multivariate generalized hyperbolic distribution (MGHD), trying to capture all these phenomena together. We also examined this model by using intra-day market dataset to backtest of various risk measure. With rise of high frequency trading and algorithm trading in recent years, trading volume hugely increased and markets became more volatile. Order execution is the main concern for traders, especially in the case of liquidation of big orders. We illustrate how the optimal order execution strategy behaves under the assumption that market price dynamics follows high volatile (non-Gaussian) markets with volatility clustering and log-range dependence characteristics. | 82 pages
