- Definitions of risk (cont.)
• In finance, a distinction is made between risk and

borrowing, the value of assets and liabilities, etc.

- FX risk
• FX risk arises because of uncertainty about the
future spot exchange rate
• It refers to the variability of the domestic currency
value of certain items resulting from the variability of
the exchange rate

- The historical approach
• VAR with a certain probability is calculated from the
lower nth percentile of historical observations on the
rate of return

- The simulation approach
• VAR with certain probability is calculated from the
lower nth percentile of simulated observations on the
rate of return
• Observations are generated from Monte Carlo
simulation by specifying a probability distribution and
its parameters

- VAR: pros
• It is simple
• It is suitable for risk-limit setting and performance
measurement
• It can take account of complex movements

- VAR: cons
• It can be misleading
• VAR estimates are highly sensitive to the underlying
assumptions
• It cannot cope with sudden or sharp changes

- VAR: conclusion
• VAR is useful but it should be handled with care and
used in conjunction with other measures of risk
• Confidence in VAR has been undermined by the
global financial crisis as the VAR models used by
financial institutions failed to predict the losses that
they actually endured

- Exposure
• Risk measures the probability and magnitude of
deviation from some expected outcome
• Exposure is a measure of the sensitivity of what is at
risk to the source of risk

- FX exposure
• Exposure to FX risk is a measure of the sensitivity of
the domestic currency value of FX items to changes
in the exchange rate
• Sometimes it is defined as the amount at risk
