Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) Daily Value At Risk (USD Mil) Calculation
There are two common methods to calculate the Daily VAR: the variance-covariance method and the historical simulation.
The variance-covariance method is easier because we only need to estimate two factors: average return and standard deviation. However, it assumes returns are well-behaved according to the symmetrical normal curve and that historical patterns will repeat into the future. The formula is:
VAR
=
[ Expected Weighted Return of the Portfolio
−
( z-score of the confidence interval
*
standard deviation of the portfolio )]
*
portfolio value
The historical simulation method improves on the accuracy of the VAR calculation, but requires more computational data. It also assumes that "past is prologue." The Monte Carlo simulation is complex but has the advantage of allowing users to tailor ideas about future patterns that depart from historical patterns.
