Question 1

Which of the following is the primary advantage of using historical simulation over parametric VaR for calculating market risk?

It assumes returns are normally distributed It captures fat tails and non-linear relationships in the data It requires less computational power It provides more precise estimates for small sample sizes

Correct Answer:

It captures fat tails and non-linear relationships in the data

Question 2

A bank uses a delta-normal VaR model to estimate the risk of an option portfolio. During a market crash, the VaR estimate significantly underestimated actual losses. What is the most likely cause of this underestimation?

The portfolio was perfectly hedged The delta-normal approach does not account for gamma (convexity) effects The confidence level was set too high The time horizon was too short

Correct Answer:

The delta-normal approach does not account for gamma (convexity) effects

Question 3

Which VaR method is most appropriate for a portfolio containing complex exotic options that exhibit significant gamma and vega risk?

Delta-normal VaR Historical simulation Monte Carlo simulation with full revaluation Parametric VaR using EWMA volatility

Correct Answer:

Monte Carlo simulation with full revaluation

Question 4

A risk manager uses the square root rule to scale a 1-day VaR of $1 million to a 10-day VaR of $3.16 million. What assumption is this approach making?

Returns are serially correlated Returns are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Volatility increases with the square root of time Returns follow a fat-tailed distribution

Correct Answer:

Returns are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.)

Question 5

What is a key disadvantage of historical simulation VaR compared to parametric VaR?

It cannot handle non-linear instruments It is highly dependent on the choice of historical window It assumes normal distribution of returns It requires estimation of correlation matrices

Correct Answer:

It is highly dependent on the choice of historical window
