Эффективность применения прогнозов волатильности в активных торговых стратегиях институциональных инвесторов на российском рынке акций
This study examines the impact of realized volatility forecasts on the performance of active trading strategies in the Russian equity market. Using a sample of 17 liquid stocks over the period 2014–2026, a hybrid forecasting model is developed that combines HAR-J with gradient boosting; its superiority over the baseline HAR-J specification is confirmed by the Diebold–Mariano test (p < 0.001). Six directional strategies across three categories are tested with three mechanisms for integrating volatility forecasts and without them. The aggregation is performed sequentially at three levels: individual instruments, strategy portfolios across the 17 stocks, and multi-strategy portfolios (MSP). At the MSP level, a bootstrap procedure confirms a statistically significant increase in the Sharpe ratio when applying regime filtering (ΔSharpe = +1.19, p < 0.001) and volatility targeting (ΔSharpe = +1.22, p < 0.001). The MSP statistically significantly outperforms the IMOEX index (ΔSharpe = +2.05, p = 0.001) and maintains positive returns in all four years of the out-of-sample control period.
