Abstract: This study looks at the best portfolio strategy for mitigating the risk associated with the MSCI ACWI & Frontier Markets Index, as well as the volatility spillovers between commodity markets and certain financial markets. Therefore, we empirically explore the connectedness among three financial indicators and five product groups using the framework of Diebold and Yilmaz (2012), which is based on a vector autoregressive process and variance decomposition of prediction errors, between 31 May 2002 and 30 July 2021. We also investigate the best hedging instrument(s) for the MSCI ACWI & Frontier Markets Global Index by combining the Asymmetric Dynamic Conditional Correlation (ADCC) model with the risk reduction index and the hedging ratios. Our empirical findings highlight the importance of volatility spillover effects across financial markets, which is not the case for commodity markets with low volatility externalities. Furthermore, the first markets appear to be net transmitters of volatility, whereas the second markets appear to be net receivers. Using the approach of Kroner and Sultan (1993), we show that the least risk portfolio is a portfolio that combines the MSCI ACWI & Frontier Markets Global Index with financial indices related to socially responsible and irresponsible investing.
