Abstract

In our study, we use sample entropy and approximate entropy indicators − derived from the India Volatility Index (India VIX) − to explore the feasibility of style, size and time horizon-based portfolio rotation strategies. We show that these two entropy-based indicators are significantly and strongly related to portfolio rotation strategy based on style and size than the trading strategies based on signals derived from percentage change in India VIX. Finally, the comparative portfolio performances show that the trading strategies based on sample entropy outperform those based on VIX change. These results provide evidence of the prospect for new investment and diversification strategies in the otherwise less-studied emerging markets.
