Request a copy of "The world beyond VaR"

by Dr Willi Brammertz

Regulators were also taken by this novel measure, accepting them as superior "internal models" compared to the more recipe-like standard models. Originally a market risk oriented measure, VaR was then successfully extended to credit and operational risk. When liquidity risk resurfaced on the risk map, vendors such as Algorithmics were quick in declaring “Liquidity at Risk” as a new measurement tool.
