问题如下:
The Index Plus Fund has a one-day 95% value at risk (VaR) of $6.5 million. Which of the following statements regarding the VaR of the Index Plus Fund is correct?
选项:
A.The expected maximum loss for the portfolio is $6.5 million.
Five percent of the time, the portfolio can be expected to experience a loss of at least $6.5 million.
Ninety-five percent of the time, the portfolio can be expected to experience a one-day loss of no more than $6.5 million.
解释:
VaR measures the frequency of losses of a given minimum magnitude. Here the VaR indicates that on 5% of trading days, the portfolio will experience a loss of at least $6.5 million. (Although C may appear to say the same thing as B, it actually implies that the portfolio will experience a loss on 95% of trading days.) The correct interpretation is that returns will be equal to or greater than -$6.5 million on 95% of trading days; those returns include gains as well as losses.
B选项没有强调单日损失,明显说法有问题啊。C选项强调了单日的损失,我始终觉得C是对的。麻烦老师解释一下,谢谢!
