The rst issue involves modelling nancial returns volatility (when the true distribution is unknown) using the univariate GARCH model under the assumptions of seven error distributions. The ndings, using two of the error distributions, show that the Chinese market has the highest volatility persistence, followed by the South African, Russian, Indian and Brazilian markets in that order. For risk modelling and analysis, the ndings show that the Russian market has the highest risk level, followed by the South African, Chinese, Brazilian and Indian markets, respectively. For the extremal dependence modelling, using the bivariate point process and conditional multivariate extreme value (CMEV) models, the ndings show varied levels of low extremal dependence structure whose outcomes are highly bene cial to investors, portfolio managers and other market participants who are interested in maximising their investment returns and nancial gains. However, it is observed that the point process was able to model many more extreme observations or exceedances that contribute to the likelihood estimation and it gives more information than the threshold excess method of the CMEV model.1 online resource (xxvi, 324 leaves) : color illustrationsenUniversity of VendaConditional extreme value modelEquity marketsUCTDEquity-riskGARCH modelPoint processRisk managementVolatility332.456International financeForeign exchange ratesForeign exchangeThesisMukhodobwane RM.
