A market risk analyst at a regional bank is calculating the annual VaR of portfolio of investment securities. The portfolio has a current market value of USD 3,700,000 with a daily variance of 0.0004. Assuming there are 250 trading days in a year and the daily portfolio returns are independent and follow the same normal distribution with a mean of zero, what is the estimate of the 1-year VaR at the 95% confidence level?
