Abstract
Concept of Value-at-Risk appears in 1994. Nowadays VaR is the most popular risk measure. Unfortunately, it fails to reward diversification, as it is not subadditive. In the search for a suitable alternative to VaR, Expected Shortfall (ES) has been characterized as the smallest coherent risk measure to dominate VaR. The aim of this paper is a presentation of the Expected Shortfall and Value-at-Risk estimators properties and an application of ES and VaR estimators to risk estimate examples on the Polish Open-end Investment Funds market. The paper also offers a comparison of ES and VaR estimators as the risk measures.
