In accordance with Basel Capital Accords, the Capital Requirements (CR) for market risk exposure of banks is a nonlinear function of Value-at-Risk (VaR). Importantly, the CR is calculated based on a bank's actual portfolio, i.e. the portfolio represented by its current holdings. To tackle...

Historical VaR, CVaR and ES (Expected Shortfall) to LIQUIDATION Software is a model characterized by its straightforwardness, allowing regulators measure risk using a standard database of primitive factors and portfolio positions only, leaving little error margin in comparing market risk for...

Bonds historical returns cannot be used directly to compute VaR because the maturities of returns implied by the historical prices do not have the relevant maturities to compute VaR. Given the so-called pull-to-par in bonds, with return volatilities necessarily decreasing with diminishing...

We test the naive model to forecast ex-ante Value-at-Risk (VaR) using a shrinkage estimator between realized volatility estimated on past return time series, and implied volatility quoted on the market. Implied volatility is often indicated as the operators expectation about future risk, while...

Based on a novel extension of classical Hoeffding-Fréchet bounds, we provide an upper VaR bound for joint risk portfolios with fixed marginal distributions and positive dependence information. The positive dependence information can be assumed to hold in the tails, in some central part, or on a...

This paper provides a deep analysis of ten globally diversified portfolios, composed of different financial instruments: bonds, shares, ETF's, commodities, indexes, currencies, constructed applying various optimization techniques. Statistical moments, such as mean, standard deviation, kurtosis...

In this paper we propose an approach to Asset Liability Management of various institutions, in particular insurance companies, based on a dual VaR constraint for the asset and the surplus. A key ingredient of this approach is a flexible modelling of the term structure of interest rates leading...

This paper addresses the problem of dynamic asset allocation under a bounded shortfall risk in a market composed of three assets: cash, stocks and a zero coupon bond. The dynamics of the instantaneous short rates is driven by a Hull and White model. In this setting, we determine and compare...

We provide an analytical VaR approach for the credit portfolio with liquidity horizon and the constant level of risk. Given any time horizon, a two period credit portfolio loss model is derived and, at the end of the first period, the portfolio is rebalanced to ensure a constant level risk of...
