| description | Risk management is essential since stock prices of a company are often exposed to high level
of market risk. One way to evaluate market risk is by determining the value-at-risk, which is
the maximum probable loss that a financial instrument is exposed to at a given time. In this
research, the value-at-risk was evaluated for all shares of companies listed under the financial
sector of Malaysian Stock Exchange using non-parametric approach and Monte Carlo simulation
method. The comparisons of risk faced by the shares of companies were also done. These
methods were chosen to avoid wrong estimation of the value-at-risk if the data is fitted to an
inaccurate distribution. The value-at-risk was determined using the non-parametric approaches,
which are basic historical simulation, bootstrap historical simulation, age-weighted historical
simulation and volatility-weighted historical simulation methods. Monte Carlo simulation was
applied using the Geometric Brownian Motion. Findings of this study found that the shares of
all companies produced slightly different results for each of the method with different level of
sensitivity. The shares of Pan Malaysia Capital Berhad are the most risky because it produced
the highest value-at-risk. The shares of LPI Capital Berhad and Public Bank Berhad are the least
risky as they produced the lowest value-at-risk in comparison with the shares of all the other
companies. |
