The choice of adequate VAR is mainly essential as it mainly helpful in making sufficient investment decisions by calculating the overall risk from investment. The following choice needs to be conducted for identifying the adequate VAR (i) normal distribution based on a 252-day rolling window, (ii) the normal distribution with a variance estimated by the EWMA, and(iii) historical simulation based on a window of 252 days.

The above table mainly depicts the relevant Basel traffic lights, which could help in identifying the most adequate technique that could be used in discovering adequate VAR. From the overall evaluation, historical simulation is mainly depicted as the most viable approach, which could be used in detecting the overall VAR calculation.
From the overall VAR calculation the VAR(10,99%) mainly indicates that the VAR(.99%) * 10^(1/2) = -30.11%.
In addition, total portfolio value is 42,200 * -30.11% = -12,705.67. Therefore, there is a chance that the total value of the portfolio will mainly lose the 30.11% or 12,705.67 in investment.
4. Calculating the hedging strategy:
4.1 Beta calculation:
Covariance of NAB and S&P200 = Standard deviation of S&P200 * Correlation between NAB and S&P200 * Standard deviation of NAB |

There for seeing the overall table 0.29 or 1 futures need to be hedged, as futures are mainly conducted on certain lots. Therefore, the S&P 200 futures will mainly sold in January 3, 2017 and then bought in January 16, 2017. This time horizon will mainly help in depicting the relevant profits and reduction in risk that might be conducted with the hedge.

Therefore, after using short hedge the overall profits attained from investment is mainly at 925. In addition, the overall use of hedge has mainly helped in reducing the systematic risk that might affect the overall value of portfolio.
