| Description： |
A random field approach to estimating vector covariances in equity-bond risk premia provides both an accurate assessment of the impact of macro-economic factors on risk premia and indication of how risk premia vary with the business cycle. Issues on spanning, pro-cyclicality or counter-cyclicality, and relationship to financial markets in states of stress will be analysed. It is shown that consideration of bond risk premia in isolation of equity risk premium is an inadequate characterization. The results have major implications on how asset management firms utilizing risk parity strategy would fare under different market circumstances. |
