Inhaltsangabe:
- Financial markets are complex adaptive systems characterized by collective behavior and abrupt regime shifts, particularly during crises. This paper studies time-varying dependencies in Nordic equity markets and examines whether correlation-eigenstructure dynamics can be exploited for regime-aware portfolio construction. Using two decades of daily data for the OMXS30, OMXC20, and OMXH25 universes, pronounced regime dependence in rolling correlation matrices is documented: crisis episodes are characterized by sharp increases in the leading eigenvalue and counter-cyclical behavior in the second eigenvalue. Eigenportfolio regressions further support a market-factor interpretation of the dominant eigenmode. Building on these findings, an adaptive portfolio allocation framework is proposed, combining correlation-matrix cleaning, an eigenvalue-ratio crisis indicator and long-only minimum-variance optimization with constraints that bound exposures to dominant eigenmodes. Backtesting results indicate improved downside protection and risk-adjusted performance during stress regimes, while remaining competitive with state-of-the-art benchmarks in tranquil periods.
