Abstract

En el área de análisis financiero, medidas como el Valor en riesgo, el VaR, y el Valor en riesgo extremo, el EVaR, son medidas comúnmente aceptadas para evaluar el riesgo en portafolios de inversión. En este trabajo se analizan los métodos de varianza-covarianza, el método histórico y el método de picos sobre el umbral en términos de su pertinencia en la estimación del VaR y EVaR. Se propone una forma de estimar puntualmente y por intervalos el VaR y EVaR usando cada uno de los métodos señalados, en el contexto particular de portafolios de inversión. Los procedimientos propuestos son desarrollados poniendo énfasis en su correcta aplicación, en términos de los supuestos técnicos que los validan. El desempeño de las metodologías propuestas se ilustran con datos simulados de un portafolio de inversión, así como en portafolios de acciones del sector de la construcción. / In Finance, indicators such as Value at Risk, called VaR, and Value at Extreme Risk, EVaR, are commonly accepted to assess risk in investment portfolios. In this paper variance-covariance, historical and the peak on the threshold methods are analyzed in terms of their applicability to estimate VaR and EVaR. In addition, punctual and interval estimations under those methods are carried out. The procedures are reviewed under the specific context of investment portfolios. Special care was taken on the correct application of the proposed procedures in terms of their underlying technical assumptions. Their performance is illustrated using a simulated investment portfolio, and a real stock portfolio related to the construction sector in Mexico.
