Abstract
This paper develops a comprehensive framework for portfolio risk measurement integrating GARCH models for conditional volatility, Extreme Value Theory (EVT) for tail risk, and copula functions for dependence. The framework is validated using 1,000 simulated daily observations for two assets, with GARCH(1,1) models for volatility and a $t$-copula for dependence. EVT thresholds are selected using mean excess plots and stability analysis \citep{Coles:et:al:2001}.
Results indicate heavy tails, with kurtosis up to 8.74, volatility persistence exceeding 0.98, GPD shape parameters of 0.23 and 0.29, and a $t$-copula tail dependence coefficient of 0.374. Monte Carlo simulation yields one-day-ahead VaR and CVaR estimates of $-0.74\%$ and $-1.14\%$, respectively. Compared with historical simulation and alternative models, the proposed framework produces VaR estimates 46.67\% lower, while bootstrap confidence intervals demonstrate substantial uncertainty in extreme risk estimates. Kupiec backtesting does not reject the VaR forecasts ($p$-value = 0.5632), although the Christoffersen independence test indicates potential for improvement through more flexible volatility specifications.
