Popis: The forward‐looking nature of option market data allows one to derive economically based and model‐free risk measures. This article proposes an extensive analysis of the performances of option‐implied value at risk and conditional value at risk and compares them with classical risk measures for the S&P 500 index. Delivering good results both at short and long time horizons, the proposed option‐implied risk metrics emerge as a convenient alternative to the existing risk measures.
