问一道题:NO.PZ2016070202000021

问题如下:

A trading book consists of the following two assets, with correlation of 0.2.

How would the daily VAR at the 99% level change if the bank sells $50 worth of A and buys $50 worth of B? Assume a normal distribution and 250 trading days.

选项:

A.

0.2286

B.

0.4571

C.

0.7705

D.

0.7798

解释:

We compute first the variance of the current portfolio. This is (100×0.25)2+(50×0.20)2+2×0.2(100×0.25)(50×0.20)=825{(100\times0.25)}^2+{(50\times0.20)}^2+2\times0.2{(100\times0.25)}{(50\times0.20)}=825 VAR is then sqrt825×2.33250=4.226sqrt{825}\times\frac{2.33}{\sqrt{250}}=4.226 The new portfolio has positions of $50 and $100, respectively. The variance is  (50×0.25)2+(100×0.20)2+2×0.2(50×0.25)(100×0.20)=656.25{(50\times0.25)}^2+{(100\times0.20)}^2+2\times0.2{(50\times0.25)}{(100\times0.20)}=656.25 VAR is then 3.769 and the difference is -0.457. The new VAR is lower because of the greater weight on asset B, which has lower volatility. Also note that the expected return is irrelevant.

在之前的讲解中求协方差的公式一般是用权重百分比来计算的。我请问下如果这道题为什么不直接带权重进去计算呢,在未改变前权重w1是33%、w2是66%

嗨,从没放弃的小努力你好:


都可以,结果上来说是一样的,个人来说,我习惯用金额的这种,毕竟如果用权重的话可能还有近似的问题。
