Evaluating Value-at-Risk Models with Desk-Level Data
We present new evidence on disaggregated profit and loss (P/L) and value-at-risk (VaR) forecasts obtained from a large international commercial bank. Our data set includes the actual daily P/L generated by four separate business lines within the bank. All four business lines are involved in securities trading and each is observed daily for a period of at least two years. Given this unique data ...
متن کاملEvaluating Portfolio Value-at-Risk using Semi-Parametric GARCH Models
In this paper we examine the usefulness of multivariate semi-parametric GARCH models for portfolio selection under a Value-at-Risk (VaR) constraint. First, we specify and estimate several alternative multivariate GARCH models for daily returns on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes. Examining the within sample VaRs of a set of given portfolios shows that the semi-parametric model performs uniformly ...
متن کاملComparison of Performance of Traditional Value at Risk Models with Switching Model in Tehran Stock Exchange
The problem of portfolio optimization has made many advances since Markowitz proposed an average-variance-based optimization. It can be said that the most important achievement of the Markowitz model was the introduction of variance as a risk indicator and indeed, the introduction of a quantitative benchmark into it. This research is a model for predicting value at risk. This model extends the ...
متن کاملValue at Risk Estimation using the Kappa Distribution with Application to Insurance Data
The heavy tailed distributions have mostly been used for modeling the financial data. The kappa distribution has higher peak and heavier tail than the normal distribution. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the three unknown parameters of a Kappa distribution for evaluating the value at risk measure. The value at risk (VaR) as a quantile of a distribution is one of the import...
متن کاملValue - at - Risk Models ∗
In this chapter, we build first a univariate and then a multivariate filtered historical simulation (FHS) model for financial risk management. Both the univariate and multivariate methods simulate future returns from a model using historical return innovations. While the former relies on portfolio returns filtered by a dynamic variance model, the latter uses individual or base asset return inno...
