Historic Simulation Approach : VaR calculation of a portfolio of 'spot' assets

Version March 2003 (KCDN)

This spreadsheet computes the VaR of a portfolio which contains shares/equities.

Note : Column O is the column P sorted in ascending orders.

To sort column O in ascending order the following commands have to be performed :
(1.) copy all the values from column P and use the paste special command (option values) under edit opti
(2.) Highlight all the values in column O, then click in the menu bar Data and then Sort.
(3.) You have to click on the option 'continue with the current selection' and then the sort button.

User Input : $-Value held in domestic shares. CHANGE ONLY RED CELLS

Variance Covariance Approach : VaR of portfolio of 'spot' assets - similar to Table
Version March 2003 (KCDN)

This spreadsheet computes the VaR of a portfolio which contains shares/equities.

The spreadsheet is set to do the calculations for 3 'shares', but can easily extended to a 5 asset case or even more. .
To extend this spreadsheet to 5 assets, the (daily) std.dev. for asset 4 and 5 has to be calculated as well as the correlation
