Abstract

This introductory note discusses the calculation of value at risk (VaR) of a company with two departments. The problem is analysed under two scenarios and compared. Firstly, the problem is studied under the assumption of normality of the distribution and, secondly, the calculation is made assuming fat tails using extreme value theory.
