Complementing Value at Risk with Appropriate Measure

Very Hard Risk Management Measuring Risk

In a recent meeting with a client, you discussed various risk measures used to assess their investment portfolio. The client was particularly interested in how Value at Risk (VaR) is calculated and interpreted, considering potential losses over a specified time frame at a given confidence level.

Which of the following risk measures would most appropriately complement VaR in this context?
