Statements regarding extreme value theory


Which of the following statements regarding extreme value theory (EVT) is incorrect?

A. In contrast to conventional approaches for estimating VAR, EVT only considers the tail behavior of the distribution.

B. Conventional approaches for estimating VAR that assume that the distribution of returns follows a unique distribution for the entire range of values may fail to properly account for the fat tails of the distribution of returns.

C. EVT attempts to find the optimal point beyond which all values belong to the tail and then models the distribution of the tail separately.

D. By smoothing the tail of the distribution, EVT effectively ignores extreme events and losses that can generally be labeled outliers.
