Answer #1

Var and Varx are both tools to measure risk but varx is specifically designed to ascertain the risk levels as a measure of loss in a typical stressed scenario such that of a financial crisis.

A normal var measure ascertains the amount of loss using confidence intervals and assigning probability of minimum amount of loss that could happen under specific volatility conditions and in a specific time frame. Varx increased the volatility measure as used in based 2.5 to the level seen in financial crisis and specific variables are tested to ascertain the impact of loss to be seen in a stressed scenario of a turmoil.
