This study investigates the pattern of spillover and connectedness between a broad set of financial assets (equities, commodities, bonds, and VIX) and its implications for portfolio diversification strategies. In recent years, increased interest in international portfolio diversification has motivated investors to search for assets and markets that can provide a cushion against shocks during periods of financial turmoil. Thus, cross-market or cross-asset linkages have become an important topic, both for academics and investors, especially with the increasing correlation between commodities and equity markets after the global financial crisis. 1A key element of the argument in the literature is that to achieve higher portfolio diversification benefits, it is imperative to understand the co-movements, interdependence, and spillover among various assets (markets). Logically, for practical investment purposes, market participants are expected to be more concerned about the magnitude and directions of net return spillover contributions by different asset classes in their portfolios. Consistent with such realistic investment expectations, a large body of growing literature examines the total and net directional spillover effects among different markets (assets) using the intuitive spillover approach of Diebold and Yilmaz, 2009, Diebold and Yilmaz, 2012. The existing spillover literature in cross-market or cross-asset settings predominantly examines the presence of spillover, its direction, and the size of spillover shocks. 2 Available empirical evidence in the existing literature is subject to three shortcomings.
