Value-at-Risk for fixed-income portfolios: A Kalman filtering approach

P Date, R Bustreo - IMA Journal of Management Mathematics, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We propose a way of measuring the risk of a sovereign debt portfolio by using a simple two-
factor short rate model. The model is calibrated from data and then the changes in the bond …

Measuring the risk of a non-linear portfolio with fat-tailed risk factors through a probability conserving transformation

This paper presents a new heuristic for fast approximation of VaR (Value-at-Risk) and CVaR
(conditional Value-at-Risk) for financial portfolios, where the net worth of a portfolio is a non …
