The portfolio comprises of three stock market indices from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The goal is to identify financial opportunities for traditional clothing industry in South Asia. Bangladesh, India and Pakistan are neighbouring countries in South Asia. Tradition, culture and specific ethnic elements influence traditional clothing in the case of the selected country cluster consisting of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. Our empirical results indicate that internationally diversified portfolio does not reduce the risk due to global market integration in the background. Furthermore, ARCH and GARCH models reveal that large change in conditional variance is followed by large changes in conditional variance whereas small change in conditional variance is followed by small changes in conditional variance.}, number = {06}, urldate = {2021-12-28}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {Ali Zulfiqar, Imran and Spulbar, Cristi and Ejaz, Abdullah and Birau, Ramona and Anghel, Lucian Claudiu and Criveanu, Radu Cătălin}, month = dec, year = {2021}, pages = {645--650}, }
