Abstract: Current developments of hedge funds market demonstrate the relevance of operative and market risk exposure measurement. VaR represents the more widespread approach adopted for measuring the market risk and it could be used jointly with other measures in order to overcome some forecasting limits of traditional approaches. The Modified VaR and moreover the EVT VaR seem to be more effective , even if more complex.
