Risk Classification
Of Derivative Securities
Note: As of 21. October 2019, all data fields presented on this page will be frozen by WM Datenservice.
On the basis of comprehensive data, all derivative securities of Deutsche Derivate Verband partner banks are regularly subject to five types of risk quantification (issuer creditworthiness, price, volatility, currency and interest), which is then combined into one absolute value known as Value at Risk (VaR).
During a holding period of ten days, the likelihood that the VaR, or calculated loss, will be exceeded is minimal. The calculation of this loss potential (confidence niveau of 99%) is based on price changes observed in the market.
The VaR can be between 0 and 10000, and is based on an assumed investment of 10,000 Euros. A VaR of 10000 would represent 100% of the invested capital, with a VaR of 1000 representing 10%.
Based on this value, every single security is classified into one of five risk classes.
- 01 = VaR between 0.0 and 2.5% (Risk averse)
- 02 = VaR between 2.5 and 7.5% (Moderately risk tolerant)
- 03 = VaR between 7.5% and 12.5% (Risk tolerant)
- 04 = VaR between 12.5% and 17.5% (Highly risk tolerant)
- 05 = VaR between 17.5 and 100% (Speculative)
