This paper investigates the effect of skewness and kurtosis in the calculation of Value-at-Risk for non normal distribution returns. We consider the method Modified Value-at-Risk (MVaR), using the standard and the skewed Studentt distribution and applying the Cornish-Fisher expansion. We also consider the effect of nonconstant volatility by applying GARCH models. We apply this method for several stocks listed in Indonesian capital market.
