The code is as follows: monthreturns-read.zoo('monthlyReturn date.csv',sep=,,header=T) monthreturns-as.xts(monthreturns,order.by =index(monthreturns),frequency=NULL)*W0 head(monthreturns) dim(monthreturns) portnames-c('acc','cipla','cmc','idbi','ifci') portfolio names (5 stocks)

r != R (you mis-typed the first argument to VaR). This works: library(PerformanceAnalytics) data(sample_matrix) x - Return.calculate(as.xts(sample_matrix)) VaR(R=x, p=0.99, method=historical) Best, -- Joshua Ulrich | about.me/joshuaulrich FOSS Trading | www.fosstrading.com On Tue, Jun 25,
