This paper analyzes the returns and variance behavior of the largest specialized private pension investment funds index in Mexico, the SIEFORE Básica 1 (or, SB1). The analysis was carried out with time series techniques to model the returns and volatility of the SB1, using publicly available historical data for SB1. Like many standard financial time series, the SB1 returns show non-normality, volatility clusters and excess kurtosis. The econometric characteristics of the series were initially modeled using three GARCH family models: GARCH (1,1), TGARCH and IGARCH. However, due to the presence of highly persistent volatility, the series modeling was extended using Fractionally Integrated GARCH (FIGARCH) methods. To that end, an extended specification: an ARFIMA (p,d,q) and a FIGARCH model were incorporated. The evidence obtained suggests the presence of long memory effects both in the returns and the volatility of the SB1. Our analysis’ results have important implications for the risk management of the SB1. Keywords: Private Pension Funds, Time Series modelling, GARCH models, Long Term memory series

The article deals with the method of calculating the fractal analysis, the time series of economic sustainability of the industrial enterprise on the trend-resistant sustainability were investigated by estimating the depth of the long-term memory of the time series and constructing a phase portrait. According to the approach used, the “depth of the long memory” is estimated in terms of fuzzy sets. The approach to the estimation of the index of economic stability is developed, based on the methods of forming an integrated indicator consisting of an assessment of such subsystems as the industrial and technical, financial-economic and subsystem of main parameters of the market environment. These helps to estimate the economic stability of the enterprise in the conditions of incomplete information from purpose of making effective management decisions. Combination of techniques for the formation of an integral index and a fractal analysis of the assessment of its trend stability showed an effective result, which was confirmed by the experiments.

This article deals with one of the important parts of applying chaos theory to financial and capital markets – namely searching for long memory effects in time series of financial instruments. Source data are daily closing prices of Central Europe stock market indices – Bratislava stock index (SAX), Budapest stock index (BUX), Prague stock index (PX) and Vienna stock index (ATX) – in the period from January 1998 to September 2007. For analysed data R/S analysis is used to calculate the Hurst exponent. On the basis of the Hurst exponent is characterized formation and behaviour of analysed financial time series. Computed Hurst exponent is also statistical compared with his expected value signalling independent process. It is also operated with 5-day returns (i.e. weekly returns) for the purposes of comparison and identification nonperiodic cycles.

The influence of ARFIMA model parameters on the accuracy of financial time series forecasting on the example of artificially generated long memory series and daily log returns of RTS index is investigated. The investigated parameters are deviation of the integration order value from its «true» value, as well as the memory «length» considered by the model. Based on the research results, some practical recommendations for modeling using ARFIMA have been formulated.
