This article proposes a wavelet-based extreme value theory (W-EVT) approach to estimate and forecast portfolio’s Value-at-Risk (VaR) given the stylized facts and complex structure of financial data. Our empirical application to portfolios of crude oil prices and US dollar exchange rates shows that the W-EVT models provide an effective and powerful tool for gauging extreme moments and improving the accuracy of portfolio’s VaR estimates and forecasts after noise is removed from the original data.
