Every competitor calls their notes rigorous. Here is one, with the moves that make it different named in the margin.

Market Risk · Tail riskLOS 52.2

From VaR to Expected Shortfall

Expected shortfall answers what VaR cannot: given that we breach VaR, how bad is the average loss? ES is the mean of the losses beyond the VaR threshold, which makes it coherent (sub-additive) where VaR is not.1

Under Basel’s FRTB, the regulatory measure moved to a 97.5% ES — you average the tail beyond the 2.5% quantile rather than reading a single point.2 On the same book ES ≥ VaR always; reporting ES of $5.6m against VaR of $4.0m is expected, not an error.3

  1. 1

    Coherence, stated precisely

    Sub-additivity is the property VaR fails and ES satisfies. Naming why diversification can raise VaR earns the first mark.

  2. 2

    The regulatory shift, current

    FRTB replaced 99% VaR with 97.5% ES. We keep the Basel framing versioned to the live curriculum.

  3. 3

    The relationship, not just the formula

    ES ≥ VaR on the same book — the comparison Part II item-sets hinge on.

About the FRM® charter

GARP allows it, but we recommend against it. Most candidates pass faster spacing them two sittings apart, and our guided plan is built that way.

Try a topic before you decide.

One full Part II topic is free — notes, questions, and the tools — so you can judge the material against how you actually study before paying anything.
