Bus/Financial - Finance (general) | | English term or phrase: proxy for risk | Normal distributions are the bedrock of finance, including the random walk, capital asset pricing, value-at-risk (VaR), and Black-Scholes models. Value-at-risk models, for exalmple, attempt to quantify how much loss a portfolio may suffer with a given probability. While there are various forms of VaR models, a basic version relies on standard deviation as a measure of risk. Given a normal distribution, it is relatively straightforward to measure standard deviation, and hence risk. However, if price changes are not normally distributed, standard deviation can be a very misleading proxy for risk.
