This paper develops efficient methods for computing portfolio value-at-risk (VAR) when the underlying risk factors have a heavy-tailed distribution. In modeling heavy tails, we focus on multivariate t distributions and some extensions thereof. We develop two methods for VAR calculation that exploit ...
Results suggest that large variance reductions are typically obtained and that both methods developed in this paper overcome difficulties related to VAR calculation with heavy-tailed risk factors.

You can calculate them yourself by gathering the daily stock returns from at least the last two years or using Omni's beta stock calculator. You have to decide on the asset allocation percentage. This step is critical because it will directly influence the beta of the portfolio calculation. ...
Computational PerformanceCalculation of portfolio risk distributions, e.g. as used in the calculation of a "value at risk", may involve a huge number of valuations for every sdoi:10.2139/ssrn.1802126Christian P. FriesSSRN Electronic Journal
The calculation can be simplified by representing the formula in the form of an equation. For a two asset portfolio the formula can be represented as: Note that there are there matrices in the calculation. The first one is a one-dimensional matrix of the asset weights in the portfolio. The...

The calculation of covariance is complicated and requires massive data of return of each security in portfolio over times. At this stage, all you need to know is the mechanism by which this measure applies to portfolio.Example 4.3Based on the data in example 4.2, calculate the portfolio risk ...
Portfolio Beta Calculation Example Suppose an investor is analyzing the beta of a tech-oriented portfolio to determine its risk profile and protect against potential losses. On the date that the analysis was performed, the total portfolio value amounted to $2 million. Total Portfolio Value = $2 ...
Sharpe Ratio: Calculation, Interpretation and Analysis Sharpe Ratio is a key financial metric that helps assess risk-adjusted returns. This detailed guide is a MUST if you wish to learn how Sharpe Ratio is calculated, interpreted, and how it can be useful for making informed investment decisions...
calculation of MWR can become complicated, particularly when multiple, irregular cash flows are involved. Lastly, the MWR method is highly sensitive to the timing of these cash flows. An investor who contributes more just before a market upswing may see an inflated return, whereas withdrawal ...
