Value at Risk (VaR) is an essential tool for effectively managing the market risk of huge portfolios involving several categories of financial products.

​

Finadem includes two of the most widely used methods.
 

Historical Simulation

With this simple method of estimating VaR, no assumptions are made about the shape of the P&L distribution. 

​

Once the historical data series of portfolio returns is available, it is possible to construct the empirical P&L distribution and deduce the VaR at the desired quantile. 
 

Monte Carlo

This method is used to construct the profit and loss distribution by generating a large number of pseudo-random samples from a known distribution.
