In the IEEE Investment ranking challenge 2018, participants were asked to build a model which would identify the best performing stocks based on their returns over a forward six months window. Anonymized financial predictors and semi-annual returns were provided for a group of anonymized stocks from 1996 to 2017, which were divided into 42 non-overlapping six months period. The second half of 2017 was used as an out-of-sample test of the models performance. Metrics used were Spearmans Rank Correlation Coefficient and Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) of the top 20% of a models predicted rankings. The top six participants were invited to describe their approach. The solutions used were varied and were based on selecting a subset of data to train, combination of deep and shallow neural networks, different boosting algorithms, different models with different sets of features, linear support vector machine, combination of convoltional neural network (CNN) and Long short term memory (LSTM).

Being able to predict the occurrence of extreme returns is important in financial risk management. Using the distribution of recurrence intervals---the waiting time between consecutive extremes---we show that these extreme returns are predictable on
the short term. Examining a range of different types of returns and thresholds we find that recurrence intervals follow a $q$-exponential distribution, which we then use to theoretically derive the hazard probability $W(Delta t |t)$. Maximizing the usefulness of extreme forecasts to define an optimized hazard threshold, we indicates a financial extreme occurring within the next day when the hazard probability is greater than the optimized threshold. Both in-sample tests and out-of-sample predictions indicate that these forecasts are more accurate than a benchmark that ignores the predictive signals. This recurrence interval finding deepens our understanding of reoccurring extreme returns and can be applied to forecast extremes in risk management.
Several academics have studied the ability of hybrid models mixing univariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models and neural networks to deliver better volatility predictions than purely econometric models. Despit
e presenting very promising results, the generalization of such models to the multivariate case has yet to be studied. Moreover, very few papers have examined the ability of neural networks to predict the covariance matrix of asset returns, and all use a rather small number of assets, thus not addressing what is known as the curse of dimensionality. The goal of this paper is to investigate the ability of hybrid models, mixing GARCH processes and neural networks, to forecast covariance matrices of asset returns. To do so, we propose a new model, based on multivariate GARCHs that decompose volatility and correlation predictions. The volatilities are here forecast using hybrid neural networks while correlations follow a traditional econometric process. After implementing the models in a minimum variance portfolio framework, our results are as follows. First, the addition of GARCH parameters as inputs is beneficial to the model proposed. Second, the use of one-hot-encoding to help the neural network differentiate between each stock improves the performance. Third, the new model proposed is very promising as it not only outperforms the equally weighted portfolio, but also by a significant margin its econometric counterpart that uses univariate GARCHs to predict the volatilities.
We empirically investigated the effects of market factors on the information flow created from N(N-1)/2 linkage relationships among stocks. We also examined the possibility of employing the minimal spanning tree (MST) method, which is capable of redu
cing the number of links to N-1. We determined that market factors carry important information value regarding information flow among stocks. Moreover, the information flow among stocks evidenced time-varying properties according to the changes in market status. In particular, we noted that the information flow increased dramatically during periods of market crises. Finally, we confirmed, via the MST method, that the information flow among stocks could be assessed effectively with the reduced linkage relationships among all links between stocks from the perspective of the overall market.
The extreme event statistics plays a very important role in the theory and practice of time series analysis. The reassembly of classical theoretical results is often undermined by non-stationarity and dependence between increments. Furthermore, the c
onvergence to the limit distributions can be slow, requiring a huge amount of records to obtain significant statistics, and thus limiting its practical applications. Focussing, instead, on the closely related density of near-extremes -- the distance between a record and the maximal value -- can render the statistical methods to be more suitable in the practical applications and/or validations of models. We apply this recently proposed method in the empirical validation of an adapted financial market model of the intraday market fluctuations.
We investigate the strength and the direction of information transfer in the U.S. stock market between the composite stock price index of stock market and prices of individual stocks using the transfer entropy. Through the directionality of the infor
mation transfer, we find that individual stocks are influenced by the index of the market.
