Abstract
The assumption of normal returns remains ubiquitous in much of modern finance. In the pricing of conditional liabilities, for example, we frequently assume that logarithmic returns are normally distributed. Many risk management metrics, such as Value at Risk (VaR), and performance metrics such as Sharpe ratios also assume normally distributed movements.
