VaR stands for Value at risk. It is the maximum loss that is likely to be incurred by your portfolio with a given confidence interval for a given period of time under normal business conditions. It does not take into account the extreme market abnormalities or a sudden shift in the exposure. Also, the estimate is based on a given confidence interval and hence, may be breached several times due to market changes. VaR needs to calculated for different portfolios and may not reflect the riskiness of the overall portfolio due to the correlations between them.
