How does the “Endowment Model” add value?
Risk Management
“Non-Normal” Markets USMF Max Loss: -25.0% Note: Above stress test estimates the current portfolio’s response to the changes in capital markets during the specified events.
“Normal markets” – VaR analysis Need to reduce risk Note: VaR represents the likely one-month loss that might occur every 1 in 20 months, i.e. 95% of all months the portfolio’s returns are likely to be better than the stated VaR amount. This does not capture the “tail events”, and it assumes a normal distribution of returns.
