Value-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 …

FROM BUSINESS STRATEGY TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP
