This paper compares the models in Predicting the VaR of stock price indexes in China. Our resultsindicate that the normal model usually underestimate the VaR when given probability is 0.01 or 0.02, andthe weighted normal model usually overestimate the VaR when given probability is 0.04 or 0.05. Thehistorical simulating model and Logistic distribution model are superior to normal model and to weightednomal model in predicting the VaR.
