This paper is a self-contained introduction to the concept and methodology of "value at risk," which is a new tool for … measuring an entity's exposure to market risk. We explain the concept of value at risk, and then describe in detail the three … methods for computing it: historical simulation; the variance-covariance method; and Monte Carlo or stochastic simulation. We …
