Stress testing: measure and steer your financial resilience.

Run baseline, adverse and severe scenarios, measure the impact on your capital and losses, and document your results for the regulator.

The Stress Testing module

Stress tests to anticipate shocks.

The Stress Testing module runs baseline, adverse and severe macroeconomic scenarios, then passes the shocks through to the balance sheet to measure their impact on capital, the income statement and losses. You measure each trajectory against the regulatory requirement and pinpoint the breach point long before it happens.

A single engine replays the scenarios on demand, with no re-keying, and gives the risk committee a clear view of the bank's resilience.

  • Baseline scenario — central planning assumptions
  • Adverse scenario — macroeconomic downturn
  • Severe scenario — high-intensity shock
  • Measured impact — CET1, P&L, VaR & losses
One module of the platform

Stress testing, one module of the Risk Management platform.

Stress Testing shares the data, models and calculation engine of the Risk Management platform, alongside ALM, Capital Forecasting and Credit Scoring. One consistent, consolidated view of risk.

The workspace

Stress testing, at the control desk.

Two views of the same workspace: the comparison of scenarios and their impacts, and the capital trajectory under stress across the projection horizon.

A

Scenarios & impacts

The comparison of baseline, adverse and severe scenarios — impact on CET1 against the requirement, and an overall read of the scenario library.

Capital trajectory under stress

The projection of the CET1 ratio quarter after quarter under the three scenarios — three trajectories that diverge and are measured against the regulatory floor.

Capabilities

Stress testing, end to end.

From defining scenarios to delivering to the committee, complete coverage of the stress-testing exercise.

Scenario library

A catalogue of versioned, governed scenarios, replayable on demand with no manual rebuild.

Macro scenarios (baseline / adverse / severe)

Three configurable severities, calibrated on macroeconomic trajectories and passed through to the balance sheet.

Impact projection (CET1, P&L)

Impact of shocks on the CET1 ratio, the income statement and RWA, projected over the stress horizon.

VaR & losses

Value at Risk, cumulative losses and market sensitivities projected under each scenario.

Regulatory stress tests (Basel)

Exercises aligned with the Basel prudential framework, traceable and ready for audit and the regulator.

Reporting & delivery

Summary statements and committee packs generated automatically from the stress results.

What the module delivers

Resilience, measured and demonstrated.

Scenarios replayed continuously, a quantified impact and better-informed committee decisions.

Measured resilience

The capital's capacity to absorb shocks, quantified scenario by scenario.

Shocks anticipated

The breach point identified well before it materialises.

Quantified capital impact

The effect of shocks on CET1, P&L and RWA, calculated end to end.

Replayable scenarios

Exercises re-run on demand, with no re-keying or manual rebuild.

Basel compliance

Stress tests aligned with the prudential framework, traceable and auditable.

Informed decisions

A risk committee fed by a clear, shared view of resilience.

Our method

From scenario to decision.

A controlled stress exercise, from defining scenarios to prudential reporting.

  1. 1

    Scenarios

    Defining and calibrating the baseline, adverse and severe macro scenarios, versioned in the library.

  2. 2

    Modelling

    Passing the shocks through to risk parameters, the balance sheet and market positions.

  3. 3

    Impact projection

    Calculating the impact on CET1, P&L, VaR, RWA and losses over the horizon.

  4. 4

    Decision & reporting

    Delivery to the risk committee and generation of Basel prudential statements.
