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.

这道题计算组和方差的时候的权重我很疑惑。。。。卖出50的A和买入50的B,那新组合不就变成了50的A和100的B,为啥组合里面a和b的权重是0.25???而且这里面为什么要计算daily 标准差的变化啊。。。

同学你好!

这里算的是 VaR 的value,你也可以先用权重算,最后再乘以 portfolio value = 150,结果和直接带 value 算是一样的~

同学你好!

0.25 不是权重,是资产 A 的 annual volatility,答案里面没有用权重,是直接带 value 算的

算 daily 是因为题目问的就是 daily 的变化
