Non-Classical Measures of Investment Risk on the Market of Precious Non-Ferrous Metals Using the Methodology of Stable Distributions
Journal Title: Dynamic Econometric Models - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this article is to present some non-classical risk measures which are commonly used in financial investments, including investments in assets from the market of precious non-ferrous metals. The time series of log-returns of gold, silver, platinum and palladium prices are considered. To properly asses the investment risk the measures based on Value-at-Risk methodology have been used (the VaR estimation approach based on values from the tail of the distribution). Additionally, the measure comparing expected profits to expected losses from the opposite tails distribution has been shown – the Rachev ratio. It was assumed that the log-returns of presented assets belong to the family of stable distributions. The results confirm the validity of the use of stable distributions to asses the risk on the precious non-ferrous metals market.
