Investment Modelling Using Value at Risk Bayesian Mixture Modelling Approach and Backtesting to Assess Stock Risk

Abstract

Background: Stock investment has been gaining momentum in the past years due to the development of technology. During the pandemic lockdown, people have invested more. One the one hand, stock investment has high potential profitability, but on the other, it is equally risky. Therefore, a value at risk (VaR) analysis is needed. One approach to calculate VaR is by using the Bayesian mixture model, which has been proven to be able to overcome heavy-tailed cases. Then, the VaR’s accuracy needs to be tested, and one of the ways is by using backtesting, such as the Kupiec test.Objective: This study aims to determine the VaR model of PT NFC Indonesia Tbk (NFCX) return data using Bayesian mixture modelling and backtesting. On a practical level, this study can provide information about the potential risks of investing that is grounded in empirical evidence.Methods: The data used was NFCX data retrieved from Yahoo Finance, which was then modelled with a mixture model based on the normal and Laplace distributions. After that, the VaR accuracy was calculated and then tested by using backtesting.Results: The test results showed that the VaR with the mixture Laplace autoregressive (MLAR) approach (2;[2],[4]) was accurate at 5% and 1% quantiles while mixture normal autoregressive MNAR (2;[2],[2,4]) was only accurate at 5% quantiles.Conclusion: The better performing NFCX VaR model for this study based on backtesting using Kupiec test is MLAR(2;[2],[4]).

The Application of Delta Gamma Normal Value at Risk to Measure the Risk in the Call Option of Stock

“…However, apart from making a profit, investing in the capital market is also not free from risks (losses). In an effort to overcome this, various strategies have been developed that are able to minimize risk (limit the investor losses) (Miftahurrohmah et al, 2021). One of the strategies is called hedging, which utilizes derivative instruments in its implementation (Hull & White, 1987).…”

The Study of Value-At-Risk Calculation and Back-testing Using the ARMA-GARCH Model Based on Stock Returns: An Overview

“…People that invest hope to obtain a return after a given amount of time, but they also risk losing their money. To reduce the risk of loss, risk assessment is required (Miftahurrohmah et al, 2021). A risk measure is a formula that converts random variables into numerical values.…”
