In this master‘s work analyzed one of the modern risk measurements – Value-at-Risk (VaR). The paper examined three main VaR calculation methods: variance/covariance, historical simulation and Monte Carlo generations satisfying in the terms of the assumptions, adequacy and complexity. For all three methods was carried out empirical studies to assess the risk of currency and stock markets, made comparative analysis of the obtained risk values and verified accuracy of used methods in the current market conditions. The authors formulated the hypothesis that the VaR indicator calculation methods are not suitable for use during the transitional period when the economic environment and situation is not stable partially confirmed because the results of tests performed to reject just the variance / covariance and historical simulation methods. |
