Risk calculation analysis needs to be carried out so that it can help investors understand the level of risk involved in gold investment. This study discusses the calculation of the highest losses experienced by investors for gold commodity investments in Gold Comex Futures (GC = F) in 2013-2023 with the Return value assumed to be distributed Log-Normal. The method used in this study is Monte Carlo Simulation. The results of this study indicate that the Return of the gold price GC = F which is transformed into a lognormal distribution results in an accurate VaR calculation in reflecting investment risk. Longer time periods tend to show higher levels of risk than shorter time periods, due to greater price volatility in the long term. In addition, this study proves that the Covid-19 pandemic has a significant impact on gold futures trading. The results of the VaR model back testing under normal conditions, namely before and after the Covid-19 pandemic, show that accurate VaR can be used, while under abnormal conditions, namely during the pandemic, the VaR model is inaccurate or the VaR model must be reviewed to be used as an investment decision.  \n| KEYWORDS  \nValue at Risk; investment; log-normal distribution; monte carlo simulation; backtesting; kupiec test  \n| ARTICLE DOI:  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nInvestment is the act or process of allocating funds or resources into various types of assets or financial instruments with the aim of achieving long-term capital growth [1] . Making an investment does promise a large potential profit, but it does not rule out the possibility of an unexpected risk. Risk Management is an important element because it can help the Company identify future losses, operational inefficiencies, and provide a healthier business line. In Risk Management, a risk measurement is carried out. Common tools used to measure risk include standard deviation, beta, Value at Risk, and Conditional Value at Risk or other risk models that can be developed with better results.  \nVaR is often used to measure the risk value in investment. VaR is a common risk measure used for financial risk management because the concept is simple, easy to calculate, and can be applied directly [2] . The use of Value at Risk is the most recommended option by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) to measure risk [3] . VaR can help companies manage financial risk by identifying potential losses that may occur. By setting acceptable VaR limits, companies can take preventive measures or manage risks appropriately to minimize their negative impacts. In addition, this method provides important information in making investment decisions. By evaluating the VaR of various investment alternatives, companies can choose a portfolio that has a level of risk that is in accordance with the company's risk tolerance. VaR also helps in determining the optimal position size in an investment portfolio.  \nValue at Risk measurement can be used to measure the potential loss in an investment in the form of futures commodities. Gold is a promising investment commodity for investors. Generally, investing in gold is considered as an inflation hedge against  \neconomic uncertainty. Its value tends to be stable or even increase. However, it is worth investing, of course there are risks that need to be considered. Gold is one of the commodities that involves significant risk. Gold prices can be very volatile in the","cbCaikLdxdKfETcd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikLdxdKfETcd","pdf",808936,"English","# I.
