This paper provides an insight to the time-varying dynamics of the shape of the distribution of financial return series by proposing an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) model that jointly estimates volatility, skewness and kurtosis over time using a modified form of the Gram–Charlier density in which skewness and kurtosis appear directly in the functional form of this density. In this setting, Value-at-Risk (VaR) can be described as a function of the time-varying higher moments by applying the Cornish-Fisher expansion series of the first four moments. An evaluation of the predictive performance of the proposed model in the estimation of 1-day and 10-day VaR forecasts is performed in comparison with the historical simulation, filtered historical simulation and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model. The adequacy of the VaR forecasts is evaluated under the unconditional, independence and conditional likelihood ratio tests as well as Basel II regulatory tests. The results presented have significant implications for risk management, trading and hedging activities as well as in the pricing of equity derivatives.

This study extends the method of Guermat and Harris (2002), the Power EWMA (exponentially weighted moving average) method in conjunction with historical simulation to estimating portfolio Value-at-Risk (VaR). Using historical daily return data of three hypothetical portfolios formed by international stock indices, we test the performance of this modified approach to see if it can improve the precise forecasting capability of historical simulation. We explicitly highlight the extended Power EWMA owns privileged flexibilities to capture time-varying tail-fatness and volatilities of financial returns, and therefore may promote the quality of extreme risk management. Our empirical results, derived from the Kupiec (1995) tests and failure ratios, show that our proposed method indeed offers substantial improvements on capturing dynamic returns distributions, and can significantly enhance the estimation accuracy of portfolio VaR.

Risk measurement is important in making an investment. One tool used in the measurement of investment risk is Value at Risk (VaR). VaR represents the greatest possible loss of investment with a given period and level of confidence. In the calculation of Value at Risk requires the assumption of normality and homogeneity. However, financial data rarely satisfies that assumption. Exponentially Weighted Moving Average is one method that can be used to overcome the existence of a heterogeneous variant. Daily volatility is calculated using the EWMA method by taking a decay factor of 0.94. VaR portfolio of ASII, BBNI and PTBA stocks is calculated using historical simulation method from the revised portfolio return with Hull and White volatility updating procedure. VaR values obtained are valid at a 99% confidence level based on the validity test of Kupiec PF and Basel rules. Keywords: Value at Risk (VaR), Portfolio, EWMA, Historical Simulation, Volatility Updating

AbstractA new computational approach based on the pointwise regularity exponent of the price time series is proposed to estimate Value at Risk. The forecasts obtained are compared with those of two largely used methodologies: the variance-covariance method and the exponentially weighted moving average method. Our findings show that in two very turbulent periods of financial markets the forecasts obtained using our algorithm decidedly outperform the two benchmarks, providing more accurate estimates in terms of both unconditional coverage and independence and magnitude of losses.

Abstract The value-at-risk (Va) method in market risk management is becoming a benchmark for measuring “market risk” for any financial instrument. The present study aims at examining which VaR model best describes the risk arising out of the Indian equity market (Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex). Using data from 2006 to 2015, the VaR figures associated with parametric (variance–covariance, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average, Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) and non-parametric (historical simulation and Monte Carlo simulation) methods have been calculated. The study concludes that VaR models based on the assumption of normality underestimate the risk when returns are non-normally distributed. Models that capture fat-tailed behaviour of financial returns (historical simulation) are better able to capture the risk arising out of the financial instrument.

The purpose of this research is to determine the optimal portfolio formation in Islamic stocks on the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) which is listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a single model. Then measure the risk value that may occur and be accepted by investors using the Value at Risk (VaR) method with the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) approach. By using the Single Index Model, 5 stocks are selected and form an optimal portfolio, namely ASII, ICBP, TLKM, UNTR and UNVR.
