Summary VaR fields

Download sample file: SummaryVaR.csv

Summary data for the calculation of VaR and similar measures (Marginal VaR, Expected Shortfall) form the backbone of the Market Risk Accelerator. Input data consists of book level vectors of PnL simulations. The reference data model proposes a breakdown by risk factor - which may or may not be used - and a single set of PnLs per trade.

This Summary VaR fields file type is identified using the pattern: **SummaryVaR*.csv (as specified by mr.var.file-patterns.summary). This file is loaded using the BaseStore topic. See the Topic Aliases table for an understanding of the topic aliases associated with each topic.
