Lognormal value at risk (VaR, FRM T5-01)

Welcome to the first video in this new playlist that is devoted to Topic 5 in the FRM. Topic 5, Market Risk, is the first topic in Part 2. We will start here by comparing normal to lognormal VaR and, specifically, we are going to generalize to absolute VaR. Absolute VaR generalizes the relative VaR so it's the complete version of VaR. The key thing that we are going to do here is look at four different use cases so we can compare normal VaR to lognormal VaR in the single-period case. Normal is when we assume that the arithmetic returns are normally distributed and lognormal is when we assume that the geometric returns are normally distributed. 💡 Discuss this video here in our forum: https://trtl.bz/2k2CzKA 👉 Subscribe here    / bionicturtl.  . to be notified of future tutorials on expert finance and data science, including the Financial Risk Manager (FRM), the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), and R Programming! ❓ If you have questions or want to discuss this video further, please visit our support forum (which has over 50,000 members) located at http://bionicturtle.com/forum 🐢 You can also register as a member of our site (for free!) at https://www.bionicturtle.com/register/ 📧 Our email contact is [email protected] (I can also be personally reached at [email protected]) For other videos in our Financial Risk Manager (FRM) series, visit these playlists: Texas Instruments BA II+ Calculator    • Texas Instruments BA II+ Calculator   Risk Foundations (FRM Topic 1)    • Risk Foundations (FRM Topic 1)   Quantitative Analysis (FRM Topic 2)    • Quantitative Analysis (FRM Topic 2)   Financial Markets and Products: Intro to Derivatives (FRM Topic 3, Hull Ch 1-7)    • Financial Markets and Products: Intro to D...   Financial Markets and Products: Option Trading Strategies (FRM Topic 3, Hull Ch 10-12)    • Financial Markets and Products: Option Tra...   FM&P: Intro to Derivatives: Exotic options (FRM Topic 3)    • FM&P: Intro to Derivatives: Exotic options...   Valuation and Risk Models (FRM Topic 4)    • Valuation and RIsk Models (FRM Topic 4)   Market Risk (FRM Topic 5)    • Market Risk (FRM Topic 5)   Coming soon ....
