This paper aims at evaluating the forecasting performances of a set of univariate fractional white noise processes versus multivariate factor models for realized volatility measures. We do not provide a new horse race comparaison of different approaches. Instead, through forecast accuracy analyses, we wish to evaluate the underlying mechanisms that has generated realized volatilities of 13 banking sector asset returns.
