How to Calculate Value at Risk (VaR) to Measure Asset and Portfolio Risk

The calculation of Value At Risk (VaR) for a portfolio can be complex, especially for large numbers of positions. This video shows how the calculation is performed step-by-step and discusses how the elements of the VaR formula can be transferred from a longer-term investment context to a shorter-term trading context.

Value at Risk is used widely by investment banks and hedge funds and will be a valuable tool for traders to incorporate into their own trading decision-making.
