问题如下:
Which of the following is most accurate with respect to delta-normal VAR?
选项:
A. The delta-normal method provides accurate estimates of VAR for assets that can be expressed as a linear or nonlinear combination of normally distributed risk factors.
B. The delta-normal method provides accurate estimates of VAR for options that are near or at-the-money and close to expiration.
C. The delta-normal method provides estimates of VAR by generating a covariance matrix and measuring VAR using relatively simple matrix multiplication.
D. The delta-normal method provides accurate estimates of VAR for options and other derivatives over ranges even if deltas are unstable.
解释:
The delta-normal approach will perform poorly with nonlinear payoffs, so answer A is false. Similarly, the approach will fail to measure risk properly for options if the delta changes, which is the case for at-the-money options, so answers B and D are false.
1、delta- normal只是一种说法(或者叫称呼的概念)?就例如用线性方式VAR(C)=delta*VAR(S),该公式与normal distribution没有关系? 2、delta-normal只考虑线性,delta- gamma则考虑到非线性,对吧? 3、以上1、2只是单个资产的说法。如果是portfolio,则在需要考虑协方差矩阵方式求解?对吗?
