RAROC, Risk-adjusted return on capital, expect return/ VaR

Hey all!

I assume that guys in Asset Management knows something about RAROC. (Risk-adjusted return on capital) Expect return/ VaR

How does your firm implement RAROC ? or allocate VaR in relation with expect returns. What is a good RAROC ratio on a position or a portfolio ?

I would appreciate any insight you guys may have into this.

A lot of the DCM guys use RAROC too. Banks look at RAROC when they lend so anyone doing relationship lending would use it
