Special attention is paid to the Value-at-Risk (VaR), which reduces the total income distribution of the portfolio to a figure considered application of VaR method is associated with four main areas of banking: – In-house monitoring of market risks: aggregation can be done at the level of the banking book, the types of assets in issuers, counterparties, by traders (portfolio managers) and others. - - When an external monitor – the method allows to obtain an idea of the market risk of the portfolio without disclosing information about the composition of the portfolio. – The monitoring of the effectiveness of the hedge – the method allows an assessment of how hedging strategy is meeting the objectives (when compared with the performance of the portfolio hedging and no hedging). – The monitoring of transactions (transactions), by setting limits on transactions that do not exceed a certain value of the index VaR.
