Run stress scenarios for the portfolio
Financial institutions simulate stress scenarios for their portfolio
Fits: Finance & accounting · Leaders & strategy
You see how rising interest rates, falling prices or defaults could affect portfolio, capital and liquidity together, and you can run more scenarios than before. AI helps to generate scenarios, estimate relationships from market data and prepare results. The risk model remains validated and traceable.
Is this for you?
- You are a bank, insurer, asset manager or pension institution and currently run a few fixed stress scenarios.
- Position data with metrics such as duration and spread duration is available in the risk system.
- Risk controlling and model validation have time to run a new method alongside the existing one.
Use the template below to run a made-up portfolio of five asset classes through three stress scenarios, and recalculate one result yourself. This shows you how an assistant works when it has to show its working and where it needs assumptions.
How to go about it
- Define scenarios, portfolio and limits
- Provide position, market and model data
- Have scenarios generated and calculated
- Review and select scenarios in risk controlling
- Test against real crises and parallel runs
- Update the model after validation and market events
