HOW WOULD YOUR PORTFOLIO BEHAVE UNDER STRESS?
It is now commonly accepted that VaR does not capture tail risk successfully.
Complex portfolios, whatever their strategies, are very sensitive to extreme market moves because illiquidity, non-linear exposures combined with leverage could amplify bad events.
Therefore, there is no sound risk management without a well-thought stress testing methodology.

- Which stress test should you “believe” in?
We can help you find the answers.
