Retracted on August 17, 2020 by the Journal’s owner and Publisher. Type of retraction – plagiarism.
There wasn’t a request for this retraction, but the reason for investigation of plagiarism fact was the Russian Academy of Sciences Committee’s report “Predatory Journals at Scopus and WoS: Translation Plagiarism from Russian Sources”: https://kpfran.ru/wp-content/uploads/plagiarism-by-translation-2.pdf” dated August 12, 2020. The publishing house has familiarized itself with the report. The article by Alexey Mikhaylov, Natalia Sokolinskaya and Evgeniy Lopatin (2019). Asset allocation in equity, fixed-income and cryptocurrency on the base of individual risk sentiment. Investment Management and Financial Innovations, 16(2), 171-181. doi:10.21511/imfi.16(2).2019.15 was mentioned in this report. It is noted that translation plagiarism was detected in this article - http://wiki.dissernet.org/wsave/IMFI_2019_2_1publ.html.
Due to this the publishing house carried out an investigation on possible cases of plagiarism of all articles of these authors (Alexey Mikhaylov, Natalia Sokolinskaya and Evgeniy Lopatin) published in “Business Perspectives” journals.
When the manuscript "Oil incomes spending in sovereign fund of Norway (GPFG)" was submitted to the Journal for consideration, the authors signed the Cover letter and attested to the fact that their manuscript is an original research and has not been published before. Then, the manuscript was accepted for consideration by the Managing Editor and was tested for plagiarism using the iThenticate and Unicheck programs. Plagiarism was not detected. On August 12, 2020 the Russian Academy of Sciences Committee’s presented the report. Editorial staff decided to re-test all articles of mentioned authors for plagiarism using the iThenticate and Unicheck programs – the programs didn’t show the plagiarism, then the articles were tested for translation plagiarism by the experts of “Business Perspectives” and plagiarism was detected (plagiarism and paraphrases from Russian-language sources).

According to the results of the investigation, the Publisher and owner of the journal decided to retract this article because of plagiarism on August 17, 2020.
The authors were notified of such a decision.

    Despite the rapid growth of developing markets, aided by globalization, comparative studies of cryptocurrency and stock market volatility have focused on the developed markets and neglected developing ones. In this regard, this study compares cryptocurrency volatility with that of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), a developing market. GARCH-type models are applied to daily log returns of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the FTSE/JSE 4O in two ways. Firstly, the models are applied directly; secondly, structural breaks are tested and accounted for in the models. The sample period was from September 18, 2017, to May 27, 2021. The results show higher volatility and higher volatility persistence in cryptocurrency than in the JSE market. They also show that persistence is overestimated for cryptocurrencies when structural breaks are not accounted for. The opposite was true for the JSE.
    Moreover, the two cryptocurrencies were found to have close to identical volatility plots that differ from that of the JSE. High volatility periods of cryptocurrency also did not coincide with that of JSE and those of JSE did not coincide with the cryptocurrency ones. There is also evidence of an inverse leverage effect in cryptocurrency, which opposes the normal leverage effect of the JSE market.
