Stress-Testing


Post-crisis scepticism on the assumptions behind sophisticated risk models, has brought a renewed interest on the subject of stress testing from senior management, regulators, investors, and other stakeholders. RiskValue allows risk managers to examine the effect of various sudden and sharp changes of market prices on the portfolio value through complete revaluation of affected instruments, while multiple time dimensions and different severity levels are applied.
