Calculation method Filtered Historical Simulation (FHSVaR) is now among the standard choices of VaR or CVaR. It enables a rescaling of historical samples using current volatility regime, giving a faster adaptation of the risk measure to current market conditions.

Expected shortfall risk (also referred to as Conditional VaR / CVaR) is available as an alternate measure for all risk methods, such as Historical-, Filtered-, and Monte Carlo VaR. All models also come with a current market value mean or a sample mean VaR measure, referred to as absolute or relative VaR.

Server-side ARMS now has support for:

• Built-in parallel processing of all main calculation features
• An enhanced server user interface
• Completely flexibly hierarchy specification with nested trees
• User access control to any parts of the hierarchical trees
• Faster and more compact XML schemas
• Stand-alone calculation times halfed by using vector states
