This method assumes that the daily returns follow a normal distribution. From the distribution of daily returns we estimate the standard deviation (σ). The daily Value at Risk (VaR) is a function of the standard deviation and the desired confidence level. In the Variance-Covariance (VCV) method the underlying volatility may be calculated either using a simple moving average (SMA) or…

Sample Portfolio
Our sample portfolio that we will use for calculating Value at Risk (VaR) consists of the following 4 items:
100 shares of OGDC 5 barrels of Crude Oil 1 foreign exchange denominated asset with market value of USD 10 on 5th March 2010. 100 units of 3-year PIB with issue date of 19th February 2009 and coupon rate of 11.25%. This means that the outstanding term of the bond is… Premium Courses Pricing IRS – Module I – Term Structures EXCEL Example$13.99Valuing Options – Binomial Tree – Traditional Approach – EXCEL Example$12.99Monte Carlo Simulator with Historical Returns$199.00Monte Carlo Simulation - Package$18.00Master Class: Calculating Value at Risk (VaR): VaR Methods
There are three primary methods used for calculating Value at Risk (VaR).
a. Variance /Covariance method
b. Historical simulation method
c. Monte Carlo simulation method
All methods have a common base but then diverge in how they actually calculate Value at Risk (VaR). They also have a common problem in assuming that the future will follow the past. This shortcoming is normally addressed by supplementing any…

Value at Risk (VaR)
One of the most pertinent questions in risk management has been: How much do you stand to lose, over a certain period and with a certain probability? The most common answer to this question today is Value at Risk, a risk measure that expresses itself as one number. What is that number and what does it stands for?
In order to interpret this number…
