Volatility Forecasting Candidate number: Abstract This paper constructs a hedged portfolio with a long positon in S&P 500 index and a short position in FTSE 100 index. To calculate the time-varying hedge ratio, we use four methods, rolling window, EWMA, GARCH model and B-S model. Firstly, we explain the methods we used, including the assumptions, formulas and implications. Also, we implement the methods in the Excel to get the value of hedge ratios. Finally, we show the advantages and

the estimated, and thus forecasted, co-variance matrix. The paper examined four types of most widely adopted variations of GARCH model and exhibited how they could obtain very different results based on the same observations. This fact exhibited the substantial model risk when applying these GARCH models and it is naturally going to impact whatever application of the GARCH models, such as portfolio optimization where the forecasted co-variance matrix plays a very important role. Based on the finding

f〖:R〗^n→R^1 is denoted by ∇f or ∇ ⃗f where ∇ denotes the vector of the differential operator. Hessian matrix was developed in the 19th century by the German mathematician Ludwig Otto Hesse and this matrix is later named after him. Hessian matrix is the matrix of second derivatives of a multivariate function. In mathematics it means the gradient of the gradient of a function. Hessian matrix is relevant in many places such as in economy too. Let a real-valued function f〖:R〗^n→R^1 be given and

symmetric Matrix x is (2x1) is the position vector As seen in the demonstration the stationary point is x*=00 Stationary point as per definition is Hx*+c=0. Therefore we can conclude that the function is of the form, fx= 12xTHx Now we know that the contours are ellipses. Therefore H is of the form, H=a00b Where a≠b. The Eigen Vectors as seen from the demonstration is 10 and 01. We can also infer that, a=λ1 b=λ2 The aspect ratio relation as defined for ellipses is, e=λ1λ2 The H matrix can
