VaR = amount at risk to be lost from an investment under usual conditions over
a given holding period, at a particular 'confidence level'.
Confidence levels are usually set at 95% (1.65) or 99%(2.33)

A bank has estimated that the expected value of its portfolio in two

Required:
Using a 95% confidence level, identify the value at risk.
