Abstract: Under the framework of dynamic conditional score, we propose a parametric forecasting model for Value-at-Risk based on the normal inverse Gaussian distribution (Hereinafter NIG-DCS-VaR), which creatively incorporates intraday information into daily VaR forecast. NIG specifies an appropriate distribution to return and the semi-additivity of the NIG parameters makes it feasible to improve the estimation of daily return in light of intraday return, and thus the VaR can be explicitly obtained by calculating the quantile of the re-estimated distribution of daily return. We conducted an empirical analysis using two main indexes of the Chinese stock market, and a variety of backtesting approaches as well as the model confidence set approach prove that the VaR forecasts of NIG-DCS model generally gain an advantage over those of realized GARCH (RGARCH) models. Especially when the risk level is relatively high, NIG-DCS-VaR beats RGARCH-VaR in terms of coverage ability and independence.
