Abstract This thesis studies time series properties of the covariance structure of multivariate asset returns. First, the time-varying feature of correlation is investigated at the intraday level with a new correlation model incorporating the intraday correlation dynamics. Second, the thesis develops a multivariate factor model where the common factors are imposed directly on volatility. Third, the pricing implications of the volatility factors are shown by applications on option returns.
