The capital markets have a function of economics because capital markets provide a facility or vehicle which brings together two interests, namely those who have excess funds and those who need funds. Before investing, investors should set a goal of investing and the magnitude of the funds invested. Any investment decisions taken have the risks borne by the investor, either investment in bonds or stocks. Stocks with known characteristics of high risk-high return, which means the stock provides an opportunity to earn high profits but also potentially high loss risk. Value at Risk (VaR) models has been extensively used not only in the banking sector but also in calculating in many sectors. The aim of this paper is to outline Value at Risk methodology by giving more emphasis on variance covariance method, historical simulation, and Monte Carlo model. The model used to investigate the applicability and usefulness of VaR in stock investment in Indonesia Manufacturing companies. Using the methodologies as described, the maximum potential loss on each stock and its portfolio of nine stocks calculated at 95% confidence level. The models were validated using back testing and Kupiec test. The research found that there are different results of VaR calculated using variance covariance, historical simulation, and Monte Carlo models. However, variance covariance model is the valid one to measure the maximum potential loss of stocks. PubDate: 2017-08-31 Issue No:Vol. 6, No. 1 (2017)

Authors:Rini Safitri, Ben Roy Do, Dodi Wirawan Irawanto Pages: 27 - 39 Abstract: In the service industry, customer perception of the corporate brand is often based on the employee they interact with. Employer branding can be beneficial to attract and retain employees, as doing so can distinguish the company from competitors. Employer branding may also make the employee live with the brand, called brand citizenship behavior. Using data collected from employees of a largest telecommunication company in Indonesia, the present study explores the relationship between employer branding and brand citizenship behavior, with brand-person fit and brand commitment as possible mediators. Data was collected by online questionnaire and processed using Amos. Results show employer branding influences brand citizenship behavior either directly or indirectly through brand commitment, but not through brand-person fit.
