A Hybrid Gaussian Process Regression Framework for Stable Volatility-Covariance Estimation: Evidence from Global Equity Indices

Record completeness
Claims
the GPR-HS framework achieves regulatory compliance in the majority of test splits; including a 100% ES pass rate at the portfolio level, while outperforming the static Historical VaR benchmark in 71.4% of univariate cases by Quadratic Loss and 100% of cases by violation count.
The assumption that inter-asset correlations estimated from historical covariance remain sufficiently stable and representative during the forward-chaining test periods (June 2020-June 2025), such that the hybrid decoupling does not introduce systematic bias in portfolio-level VaR/ES forecasts.
A hybrid GPR-HS framework models volatilities via univariate Gaussian processes with Matern 5/2 kernel and correlations via historical covariance, with Aggressive Noise Initialization for stability, achieving high regulatory compliance on seven global equity indices over 2020-2025.
