Scaling methodology (e.g. square-root of time) for the holding period (1-day to 10-day) is allowed but must
be justified periodically to the supervisors
Use of weighting schemes is more flexible as long as the resulting capital requirements is not reduced
Update of data sets should be made, at least, on a monthly basis (process allows more frequent updates)
Hypothetical (or clean) backtesting is made mandatory for validation
Stress Testing (use of more recent examples for Stress testing scenarios)

Intended to replicate a value-at-risk calculation that would be generated on the banks current portfolio if the

Relevant to the banks portfolio
Approved by the supervisor
Regularly reviewed
No particular technique is prescribed for VaR (i.e. parametric, historical or Monte Carlo); hence, different techniques might be
used to deliver a SVaR
For example, banks should consider applying anti-thetic data, or applying absolute rather than relative volatilities to deliver an
appropriate stressed value-at-risk1
"sVaRavg"= average SVaR number over the last 60 business days (i.e. 12 results)
Multipliers (mc and ms ) are set by supervisors, minimum 3 plus [0 - 1] depending on the backtesting results based on the VaR (not
the SVaR)2

What?
Default and migration risks
All positions subject to a capital charge for specific interest rate risk, BUT
Not securitisation positions nor n-th-to-default credit derivatives (even if hedges)
Subject to supervisory approval, all listed equity positions and derivatives positions based on listed equities, consistently
with internal risk management framework

The frequency of the assumed rebalancing must be governed by the liquidity horizon
The liquidity horizon represents the time required to sell the position or to hedge all material risks covered by the IRC model in a
stressed market
A bank can assess liquidity by position or on an aggregated basis ((buckets)
buckets )
The liquidity horizon for a position or set of positions has a floor of three months
The liquidity horizon is expected to be greater for positions that are concentrated
A non-investment-grade position is expected to have a longer assumed liquidity horizon than an investment-grade position.

Modelling
Netting only allowed if long and short refer to the same financial instrument
Significant basis risks has to be captured
Risk because of a maturity of the instrument shorter maturity than the liquidity horizon has to be captured
Residual risks resulting from dynamic hedging strategies must be reflected
Optionality must be captured
Validation
Model assumptions and inputs must be regularly validated (LH, CH, correlation, )
Back testing will not be possible. Accordingly, validation of an IRC model necessarily must rely more heavily on indirect methods
including but not limited to stress tests, sensitivity analyses and scenario analyses
Banks should develop relevant internal modelling benchmarks

All price risks
All positions subject to the correlation trading portfolio definition

How?

Same principles as for IRC (99,9 % ; 1-year ; constant level of risk assumption ; adjusted for liquidity, concentrations, etc.)
Minimum risk coverage
Cumulative risk arising from multiple defaults, including the ordering of defaults, in tranched products.
Credit spread risk, including the gamma and cross-gamma effects
Volatility of implied correlations, including the cross effect between spreads and correlations.

TBG-QIS 2009:
Excluding the so-called correlation trading portfolio, the study concludes that the changes to the market
risk framework will increase average trading book capital requirements by two to three times their current
levels, although the Committee noted significant dispersion around this average
TBG-QIS 2009/2010: Adjustments to the Basel II market risk framework announced by the Basel Committee (18
June 2010):
As a result of these revisions, market risk capital requirements will increase by an estimated average of
three to four times for large internationally active banks

Appendix 1
Metrics for calculating
g regulatory
g
y capital for market risk
The regulatory framework distinguishes between general and specific market risk:
Specific market risk relates to the idiosyncratic risk affecting exposures to individual issuers
General market risk relates to the systematic risk affecting the overall market
The total market risk of a (portfolio of) position(s) is the sum of its idiosyncratic and systematic components
