  1. For the GDP weighted portoflios, IMF 2017 year end nominal GDP levels are considered. On the MCAP Weights, total outstanding amount of bonds for each country is taken into account. For the MV-Optimal portfolios, the weights are averages of the optimal portfolios that are calculated for each week. Risk-free rate is assumed as zero and the optimizations are done by Markowitz approach with the bi-weekly mean and volatility forecasts of the model estimations
