Defining VaR: The Financial Crystal Ball

So, what exactly is this mystical VaR? No, it’s not some superhero’s name (but close!). Value At Risk is the ingenious tool created by J.P. Morgan Chase back in the 1990s. Think of VaR as the fortune teller for the financial world, giving you insights on potential losses over a particular period—while ensuring to skip the bottom 1% of worst-case scenarios. Essentially, it’s your go-to measure for market and credit risk!

Why VaR Became the Superstar 🌟

VaR started as a humble overnight risk measure for highly diversified portfolios. Fast forward, and it’s become the financial industry’s golden standard, even incorporated into regulatory requirements. You might say it’s the Michael Jordan of risk management tools.
