Wait, can it really measure the maximum loss? Sounds off.

I think it can give insights into future risks too.

I vaguely remember that VaR is mainly about downside risk, but I wonder if it can also account for other types of risk.

This question is tricky. I know VaR is a risk management tool, but I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. I'll make an educated guess and go with B, but I'm not 100% confident.

Okay, let me see. VaR is a measure of downside risk, so it can't be C or D. I'm leaning towards B, but I'll double-check the definitions just to be sure.
RE

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know VaR has something to do with risk, but I can't remember if it's past or future volatility. I'll have to think this through carefully.

VaR? More like 'Volatility, Anxiety, and Regret,' am I right? This exam question is giving me all the feels.

Wait, so VaR doesn't measure the maximum loss that could ever be incurred? That's like saying a parachute doesn't guarantee a safe landing. What's the point then?

VaR can only measure downside risk? That's a bit of a bummer. I was hoping it could tell me about the upside potential too. Oh well, can't have it all I guess.
