VaR is a method of assessing risk which measures the worst expected loss over a given time interval under normal market conditions at a given confidence level.

For internal purposes the appropriate holding period corresponds to the optimal hedging or liquidation period.
These can be determined from traders knowledge or an economic model
The choice of significance level should reflect the manager’s degree of risk aversion.

Corina Lăpuşneanu - Introduction
VaR can be used to compare the market risks of all types of activities in the firm,
it provides a single measure that is easily understood by senior management,
it can be extended to other types of risk, notably credit risk and operational risk,
it takes into account the correlations and cross-hedging between various asset categories or risk factors.
Advantages of VAR

it only captures short-term risks in normal market circumstances,
VaR measures may be very imprecise, because they depend on many assumption about model parameters that may be very difficult to support,
it assumes that the portfolio is not managed over the holding period,
the almost all VaR estimates are based on historical data and to the extent that the past may not be a good predictor of the future, VaR measure may underpredict or overpredict risk.

Equally Weighted Moving Average is a conservative risk measure, which produce the second great average estimation of risk, with a medium variability, good accuracy and a medium efficiency. As the window length is increased (Appendix D), the conservatism and variability will increase. Exponentially Weighted Moving Average tends to produce estimates over all model average, a low variability, good accuracy and medium efficiency. This method is more efficient when calibrated on smaller data window lengths.

Structured Monte Carlo Simulation: presents the highest level of conservatism, high variability, the least accurate estimates, and low efficiency.
Kernel density estimation: produce estimates below all model average, a high variability, a good accuracy and efficiency except the Gaussian kernel that has a low accuracy and efficiency.

Extreme Value: produce the least conservatives VaR estimates except 5% threshold with produce estimates over all model average, low variability, good accuracy except 15% threshold, the most efficient models after that was scaling with the multiple to obtain coverage. It’s preferred a model with a low threshold (5%).
