Value at Risk (VAR) is a risk measurement method that use in risk investment calculation. VAR shows risk in nominal. This research calculate risk portfolio of stock using VAR method and measure whether VAR value overvalued or underestimated. Using historical simulation method is found VAR value tend to decrease when stock investment consist more stocks in the portfolio. Risk investment calculation consistent with standar devistion as risk measurement, which the more investment diversified the less the risk in the investment. Then, using backtesting reveal that VAR tend too high in portfolio consisting small number of stocks. VAR value can accepted in the portfolio that consist many stocks or the more investment diversified the more accurate VAR value as risk measurement.

Market risk measurement of bank investment portfolios is a still problem not only among practitioners, but  also among academicians. The accuracy and quality of market risk disclosures are important issues because  transparency of the bank risk level encourages market control in the form of market discipline and it also  improve the quality of risk management carried out internally by the bank. This research measures the quality of Value at Risk disclosures carried out by Indonesian banks. The accuracy of Value at Risk in this research is measured from the Value at Risk component which contains information of yield volatility of bank trading treasury activities. To measure Value at Risk disclosure, this research runs various methods of Value at Risk measurement. This research shows Historical Simulation is a Value at Risk method that is most widely used by Indonesia banks. The empirical test results show that the Value at Risk parametric method using asymmetric volatility have better quality than the Value at Risk Historical Simulation method. This research shows that Value at Risk as measured by Historical Simulation method contains the least information of bank trading treasury yields. Keywords: value at risk; disclosure; market risk; volatility

The international crude oil market is complicated in itself and with the rapid development of China in recent years, the dramatic changes of the international crude oil market have brought some risk to the security of Chinas oil market and the economic development of China. Value at risk (VaR), an effective measurement of financial risk, can be used to assess the risk of refined oil retail sales as well. However, VaR, as a model that can be applied to complicated nonlinear data, has not yet been widely researched. Therefore, an improved Historical Simulation Approach, historical stimulation of genetic algorithm to parameters selection of support vector machine, HSGA-SVMF, in this paper, is proposed, which is based on an approach the historical simulation with ARMA forecasts, HSAF. By comparing it with the HSAF and HSGA-SVMF approach, this paper gives evidence to show that HSGA-SVMF has a more effective forecasting power in the field of amount of refined oil.

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.

Investment is a commitment of the placement of the data on an object or a few investments with expectations will benefit in the future. The main motive is to seek investment gain or profit in a certain amount, but behind the good side there is one side that can harm or the risk of, for it required a measurement of risk where methods of value at risk (VaR) is very popular is widely used by the financial industry worldwide. Three main method on calculation of VaR historical method, parametric method and Monte Carlo method. So, the selected calculation of VaR GARCH-M model with historical simulation method on Bank Mandiri Tbk closing stock in 2005-2010. This research aims to know the calculation of VaR model GARCH-M through the historical method and implementation model GARCH-M on the computation of VaR via simulation on closing stock Bank Mandiri Tbk. Historical method approach is a model calculation of VaR is determined by the value of the past (historical) or return generated by simulation (repetition) of data used. The measures undertaken that explains the historical simulation method VaR models in the estimation of GARCH-M with a normal distribution, then apply GARCH-M in case of loss obtained by investors after investing with the help of Minitab software, E-views software and Matlab software.

Purpose This study aims to compare investors of major conventional currencies and Bitcoin (BTC) investors by using the value at risk (VaR) method common risk measure. Design/methodology/approach The paper used a risk analysis named as VaR. The analysis has various computations that Historical Simulation and Monte Carlo Simulation methods were used for this paper. Findings Findings of the analysis are assessed in two different aspects of singular currency risk and portfolios built. First, BTC is found to be significantly risky with respect to the major currencies; and it is six times riskier than the singular most risky currency. Second, in terms of inclusion of BTC into a portfolio, which equally weights all currencies, it elevates overall portfolio risk by 98 per cent. Practical implications In spite of the remarkable risk level, it could be considered that investors are desirous of making an investment on BTC could mitigate their overall exposed risk relatively by building a portfolio. Originality/value The paper questions the risk level of Bitcoin, which is a digital currency. BTC, a matter of debate in the contemporary period, is seen as a digital currency free from control or supervision of a regulatory board. With the comparison of major currencies and BTC shows that how could be risky of a financial instrument without regulations. However, there is some advice for investors who would like to invest digital currencies despite the risk level in this study.
