Estimation of Value at Risk gives a possibility to determine a loss, which can occur or can be exceeded with a given probability and tolerance level. Moreover, this measure of risk shows in just one number entire risk of the portfolio. In addition, various methods and probability distributions can be used to estimate Value at Risk. A goal of this paper is the evaluation of Value at Risk estimation methods on the basis of backtesting results. In the empirical part, the data for 4 investment portfolios was used.
