Explanation:
For complex derivative exposures, standard approximations (like Taylor series expansions using delta and gamma) often break down under stress scenarios with large market movements. Therefore, best practice dictates using a full-revaluation approach for these instruments. Trigger levels for contingency capital actions should be set internally with buffers well above minimum regulatory requirements. Regulatory stress tests typically require static or strict balance sheet assumptions, so opportunistically exiting businesses is generally not permitted. Modeling LGD at the aggregate portfolio level lacks the required granularity.
Ultimate access to all questions.
A
Use a full-revaluation approach to model the bank’s complex derivative exposures.
B
Use minimum required regulatory capital ratios as the initial trigger for potential contingency capital actions to be taken.
C
Assume that the bank will exit its riskiest lines of business and reduce its expenses during the stress test horizon period.
D
Model the loss given default of the bank’s loan portfolio using a weighted-average approach at the aggregate portfolio level.
