Abstract

Identification of assets on the stock market that exhibit co-movement is a critical task for generating an efficiently diversified portfolio. We present a new application of non-negative matrix factorization to factor analysis of financial time series. We consider a conditionally heteroscedastic latent factor model, where each series is parameterized by a univariate ARCH model. Volatility clustering characteristics, e.g. GARCH effects, of the constituent assets of the Dow Jones Industrial Average are leveraged to cluster assets based on the commonality of their volatility clusters. We present a new non-negative matrix factorization algorithm which is robust in the presence of noise, Robust NMF. We use a mixed low-rank over-complete dictionary learning approach to separate out the background Gaussian noise, emphasize the GARCH effects and achieve clearer asset groupings.
