Abstract

O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar tendências de alta e de baixa no índice Bovespa. Para tanto, são estimados modelos com mudanças de regime markovianas que incorporam dependência de duração, nos quais a probabilidade de transição depende também do número de períodos em que o processo se encontra em determinado estado. Os resultados mostraram um regime de retorno positivo e baixa volatilidade, e outro com alta volatilidade e retorno negativo. Ademais, a probabilidade de troca de regime diminui com a persistência do mercado de alta e de baixa. Uma análise das probabilidades suavizadas evidência o sucesso da metodologia na identificação dos principais episódios de instabilidade na bolsa brasileira. Por fim, estratégias de investimento foram construídas com base nas probabilidades previstas do modelo e apresentaram retorno médio e índice de Sharpe superiores aos do índice Ibovespa
