Risk Managemen in Pracice: Value a Risk (VaR) / Condiional Value a Risk (CVaR) Volailiy Esimaion: Correced Fourier Transform Mehod Esimae Exreme Probabiliy by Efficien Imporance Sampling Backesing for VaR Esimaion
Le r( ) be an asse reurn a ime. Is α 100% VaR, denoed by VaR α, is defined by he 1 α 100% percenile of r( ). Tha is, ( ) ( ( ) ) 1 P r VaR α = α Tha is a risk conroller has a α 100% confidence ha he asse price will no drop below VaR α a ime.
Mahemaically, i is no a coheren risk measure* because i doesn' saisfy he risk diversificaion principal. Insead, CVaR does!. Pracically, VaR is commonly required by financial regulaions (Basel Ⅱ Accord). * Arzner P., F. Delbaen, J.-M. Eber, and D. Heah, Coheren Measures of Risk, Mahemaical Finance, 9 (1999): 203-28.

Given a Markovian dynamic model of an asse price, is reurn process is r = ln S S. S ( ) Given a loss hreshold D, he exreme probabiliy is defined by P( 0, S ) ( ) 0; D = E I rt D S0. Noe: solve VaR α from P ( 0, S ) 0; VaR α = 1 α. =. (Expeced Shorfall) CVaR E rt rt VaR α T T 0

Theorem: Under he Black-Scholes model, he proposed imporance sampling esimaor is asympoically opimal or efficien under some scaling scenarios in ime and space. Proof: The variance rae of he proposed imporance sampling scheme approaches zero.
