摘要

Small and medium-sized traders can be highly affected by losses caused by exchange rate changes. Therefore, the Value-at-Risk (VaR) methods, which provide estimates for a long-time horizon are of interest to them. In our previous backtesting research we realized that no classical VaR method is applicable for long-time horizon. Therefore, we study here several new approaches to long-time horizon VaR models, which improves the behaviour of classical short and medium-time VaR methods. A nonparametric approach with the decay of data importance for older data reveals the best performance with respect to the numerous precision tests. The backtesting is done on 6 currencies resulted as medoids from functional clustering. The results show that the standard methods based on random walk forecast model have at least by 97% bigger quantile regression loss function than our proposed approach for 1 year ahead forecast in average for all 6 currencies. Since 2023, its usage and practical application are publicly available at https://var.ef.jcu.cz/ for 32 currencies listed by the European Central Bank.
