问题如下:
The 5% one-day Value at Risk of $2 million can be interpreted by:
选项:
A.It expects to lose a minimum $2 million in one day with 5% probability.
B.It expects to lose no more than $2 million in one day with 5% probability.
C.It expects to lose at least $2 million in one dya with 95% probability.
解释:
A is correct.
The VaR is a minimum extreme loss metric in a time period given the probability.
VaR的概念一直有点迷惑。“VaR does not tell the maximum loss”,但是这道题还可以被理解为“It expects to lose no more than $2 million in one day with 95% probability.”,此时95%的最大损失不就是2million么?
