This thesis will investigate if adding an exogenous variable (implied volatility) to the variance equation will increase the performance for the GARCH(1,1) and EGARCH(1,1) models based on the OMXS30 index. These models are also compared with the implied volatility itself as a forecasting/modeling method. To evaluate the models the realized variance will be used as an unbiased estimator of the conditional variance. The findings suggest that adding implied volatility to the variance equation increase the overall performance.
