What Instruments are Covered?

Commodity Perspective is most commonly used

VaR Edge allows you to view all your positions and portfolios by commodity at one place, with all its associated data, like P&L, VaR, Net Exposure, Expected Shortfall, etc. Product Heads can take risk mitigation decisions based on this information.

Profit Center / Business Unit Perspectives are more useful for individual Business Heads

This perspective allows Business Unit Heads to view the risks across all commodities within their Unit. The CEO / CRO will see the risks across all Business Units, and can accordingly ask Business Heads to liquidate / hedge positions.
