This paper aims to propose the construction of portfolios using conditional parameters obtained with univariate and multivariate GARCH models under the t-Student distribution. For the design of the optimal portfolios, the MILA (Latin American Integrated Market) indexes from 2017 to 2022 are used. The results reveal that conditional portfolios have a better risk-return ratio and lower risk exposure (measured by Value at Risk) compared to traditional portfolios. Empirical evidence is crucial for developing international investment strategies in emerging markets.

Keywords : conditional portfolios; Latin American integrated market; GARCH models; dynamic conditional correlation model.
