Filtered Historical Simulation Value-at-Risk Models and Their Competitors

Financial institutions have for many years sought measures which cogently summarise the diverse market risks in portfolios of financial instruments. This quest led institutions to develop…

Varying the VAR for Unconditional and Conditional Environments

Abstract Accurate forecasting of risk is the key to successful risk management techniques. Using the largest stock index futures from 12 European bourses, this paper presents VaR measures based on…

Estimating the Density Tail Index for Financial Time Series

Abstract The tail index of a density has been widely used as an indicator of the probability of getting a large deviation in a random variable. Most of the theory underlying popular estimators of it…

Tail-Index Estimates in Small Samples

Financial returns are known to be nonnormal and tend to have fat-tailed distributions. This article presents a simple methodology that accurately estimates the degree of tail fatness, characterized…

Value-at-Risk and Extreme Returns

We propose a semi-parametric method for unconditional Value-at-Risk (VaR) evaluation. The largest risks are modelled parametrically, while smaller risks are captured by the non-parametric empirical…

Temporal Aggregation of GARCH Processes.

The authors derive low frequency, say weekly, models implied by high frequency, say daily, ARMA models with symmetric GARCH errors. They show that low frequency models exhibit conditional…

On Time-Scaling of Risk and the Square-Root-Of-Time Rule

Many financial applications, such as risk analysis and derivatives pricing, depend on time scaling of risk. A common method for this purpose, though only correct when returns are iid normal, is the…

How Relevant is Volatility Forecasting for Financial Risk Management?

It depends. If volatility fluctuates in a forecastable way, volatility forecasts are useful for risk management (hence the interest in volatility forecastability in the risk management literature).…

VaR without correlations for portfolios of derivative securities

We propose filtering historical simulation by GARCH processes to model the future distribution of assets and swap values. Options’ price changes are computed by full reevaluation on the changing…
