Abstract
This article examines the usefulness of an active portfolio strategy that uses time-varying parameters produced by a GARCH methodology. The results suggest that such a strategy outperforms alternative buy-and-hold strategies. When transaction costs are extended to include the bid-ask spread, investors can profit from adding low-cost levered positions, such as futures indexes, to their portfolios of equities.
