INCREMENTAL VALUE AT RISK
Amount of uncertainty added or deducted from an investment portfolio by buying a new instrument or selling an old one. Investors use incremental VaR to measure if a specific investment should be taken on, given its effect on possible losses. English economist and professor Kevin Dowd developed incremental VaR in his book, Beyond Value at Risk: The New Science of Risk Management.
