Horizon (days)

Value at Risk estimates the loss a portfolio will not exceed over a horizon at a confidence level. Parametric VaR assumes normally distributed returns and scales volatility by √time. Expected shortfall (CVaR) is the average loss in the tail beyond VaR. Educational tool, not investment advice.

▶ Run in Python

Data Inspector

VaR (95%)$20,446

Expected shortfall$25,708

Horizon vol1.26%

Governing equation

VaR_{95%} = z σ - μ = 1.64 \times 0.0126 - 0.0003 = 0.0204

Reading this result: At 95% confidence the loss should not exceed 2.0% of the portfolio over 1 day; the average loss in the worse tail beyond that (expected shortfall) is steeper still.
