Nomura Holdings (NYSE:NMR) Daily Value At Risk (USD Mil) Calculation
There are two common methods to calculate the Daily VAR: the variance-covariance method and the historical simulation.
The variance-covariance method is easier because we only need to estimate two factors: average return and standard deviation. However, it assumes returns are well-behaved according to the symmetrical normal curve and that historical patterns will repeat into the future. The formula is:
VAR
=
[ Expected Weighted Return of the Portfolio
−
( z-score of the confidence interval
*
standard deviation of the portfolio )]
*
portfolio value
The historical simulation method improves on the accuracy of the VAR calculation, but requires more computational data. It also assumes that "past is prologue." The Monte Carlo simulation is complex but has the advantage of allowing users to tailor ideas about future patterns that depart from historical patterns.

Nomura Holdings (NYSE:NMR) Daily Value At Risk (USD Mil) Explanation
Daily Value At Risk (USD Mil) calculates the maximum loss expected on an investment during a day with a certain confidence level. Value at Risk (VAR) is the maximum loss expected on an investment over a given time period and given a specified degree of confidence. It answers the question: "What is the worst loss that I can expect during a period with a certain confidence level?" This metric is most commonly used by investment and commercial banks to determine the extent and occurrence ratio of potential losses in their institutional portfolios.

Nomura Holdings (Nomura Holdings) Business Description
Nomura is Japan's largest broker, about twice the size of rival Daiwa Securities and roughly three times the size of the securities units of the three megabanks. It is also the largest asset-management company in Japan, with a similar size differential compared with its rivals. Despite its topnotch brand name in retail broking and asset management in Japan, Nomura has struggled to compete effectively in the institutional securities business against larger global rivals. In 2008, Nomura bought European and Asian assets of the failed Lehman Brothers, which led to a sharply higher cost base but did not provide commensurate revenue. Nomura has reduced the scale of these businesses but maintains its ambition to compete globally with the top players.
