The Geometric-VaR Backtesting Method
This paper develops a new test to evaluate Value at Risk (VaR) forecasts. VaR is a standard risk measure widely utilized by financial institutions and regulators, yet estimating VaR is a challenging problem, and popular VaR forecast relies on unrealistic assumptions. Hence, assessing the performance of VaR is of great importance. We propose the geometric-VaR test which utilizes the duration bet...
متن کاملMultinomial var backtests: A simple implicit approach to backtesting expected shortfall
Under the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) capital charges for the trading book are based on the coherent expected shortfall (ES) risk measure, which show greater sensitivity to tail risk. In this paper it is argued that backtesting of expected shortfall or the trading book model from which it is calculated can be based on a simultaneous multinomial test of value-at-risk (VaR) exce...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Power For Some Chosen VaR Backtesting Procedures: Simulation Approach
Everyone who measures the market risk using the Value at Risk (VaR) approach should test if the assumed model is correct. This procedure is called backtesting. There are many different tests available, but usually risk managers are not concerned about their power. The aim of this paper is to analyze some chosen backtesting methods focusing on the problem of power of the tests and limited data s...
متن کاملRobust Backtesting Tests for Value-at-risk Models
Backtesting methods are statistical tests designed to uncover excessive risk-taking from financial institutions. We show in this paper that these methods are subject to the presence of model risk produced by a wrong specification of the conditional VaR model, and derive its effect on the asymptotic distribution of the relevant out-of-sample tests. We also show that in the absence of estimation ...
متن کاملMargin Backtesting
This paper presents a validation framework for collateral requirements or margins on a derivatives exchange. It can be used by investors, risk managers, and regulators to check the accuracy of a margining system. The statistical tests presented in this study are based either on the number, frequency, magnitude, or timing of margin exceedances, which are de ned as situations in which the trading...
