Q.52 Suppose that we are informed that in a U.S. stock market, denominated in % terms, the location parameter of the limiting distribution, μ, is 2%, the scale parameter, σ, is 0.6, and the tail index, ξ, is 0.4. Apply these parameters in the Fréchet VaR formula to calculate the estimated 95% VaR and 99.5% VaR, respectively. Assume n = 100.
A
95% VaR: 1.340; 99.5% VaR: 1.657
B
95% VaR: 1.657; 99.5% VaR: 1.119
C
95% VaR: 1.28; 99.5% VaR: 2.477
D
95% VaR: 1.657; 99.5% VaR: 1.876
