The frequently observed time-varying trends and dependence
in recent years within financial markets have been essential for
modeling and pricing. This study aims to analyze the dependence
structure of banking sector stocks traded on the ISE100 index
using time series and regular vine (R-vine) copula models. The
study calculates the risk measures of value-at-risk (VaR) and
expected shortfall (ES) and tests with backtesting methods for the
portfolio that are constructed by equally weighting the banking
stocks. This study’s findings on banking stocks specifically
indicate that the application of the R-vine copula combined with
the generalized auto-regressive conditional heteroskedasticity
(GARCH) model improved the VaR and ES estimates compared
to traditional GARCH-based approaches.
