VaR for COB 2nd Aug 2000

Hi Vince,
I was waiting for a comment about the email below before sending it to the
full mailing list. Basically it suggests that the
copper option position may well have increased the VaR by more than $500,000.
However, given that the portfoilo has also
changed from the 1st of August it is difficult to asses the actual change due
to the option only.

Subject: VaR for COB 2nd Aug 2000

Hi all,
The CU option position has entered the MG books for the 2nd Aug. The delta is
35299$/mt for Dec 2000. The Cu VaR has gone up
from $2,245,000 to $3,306,000. I estimated that the portfolio for the 1st
would increase to approx $3,039,000 so this seems sensible.
The overall VaR change is from $4,780,796 to $5,991,569. Again, the estimate
for the 1st Aug was for an increase in VaR to ~ $5,476,000.
All estimates were based on a delta of 32,0004/dmt.
There has also been some increase in the VaR for Aluminium which will effect
the overall total.
A summary is as follows :

Kirstee
