PRMIA Exam 8008 Topic 1 Question 5 Discussion
Topic #: 1
Which of the following statements are true:
I,Liquidity risks during time of crisis may be exacerbated by large collateral calls continuing over a period of time.
II,Stress tests are always separately modeled from VaR computations which cannot deal with stress scenarios of the kind considered in stress tests.
III,A maximum loss scenario considers the maximum possible loss given a 'plausibility constraint' that is based upon the joint probability of such a loss happening
If VaR is calculated based upon historical simulations, and these simulations are designed as to include all stress scenarios of interest, then VaR and stress tests can be a part of an integrated risk measurement system. Therefore it is not correct to say that stress tests are always separately modeled from VaR and II is false. I and III are true, and therefore Choice 'd' is the correct answer.
