The key takeaways are that intra-horizon VaR and MaxVaR are risk measures that account for risk within the investment horizon, as opposed to only at the end of the horizon like regular VaR. Intra-horizon VaR can be significantly higher than end of horizon VaR. MaxVaR models the worst possible loss over the investment period.

Intra-horizon VaR considers the maximum loss that can occur at any time over the investment period, while end of horizon VaR only considers the loss at the end of the period. As a result, intra-horizon VaR is always higher than end of horizon VaR since it accounts for all potential losses, not just the final value.

MaxVaR models the maximum loss over the entire investment period, as opposed to a single point in time like regular VaR. It can be significantly higher than VaR for long investment horizons and is useful for risk management over multiple periods.
