ES decomposition: Scaled ES = 1.5 × max(ESt, k × ESavg) where k = 1.0 (no PLAT penalty).
Liquidity horizons: 10d (rates, FX), 20d (credit spread), 40d (equity), 60d (commodities), 120d (correlation).
DRC covers jump-to-default for rated credit positions. RRAO captures exotic residual risks at 0.1% gross notional.
VaR increased $4M day-on-day to $142M (79% of $180M limit), driven primarily by increased duration exposure on the Rates desk (+$3.2M) following new 10Y swap positions entered as part of the EUR rates steepener strategy. Credit trading VaR rose modestly (+$0.8M) on IG spread widening. SVaR at $198M (79% utilisation) remains stable; the stressed window continues to reference the 2008 GFC period (Sep-Nov 2008).
IRC increased $7M to $485M reflecting credit spread widening in HY energy names (OXY, DVN) and one notch migration in the leveraged loan book. CRM stable at $156M. RNIV at $89M reflects ongoing model parameter uncertainty in correlation and volatility surface interpolation.
Backtesting: Two VaR breaches YTD (15-Jan, 03-Mar) — both attributable to EM FX moves (TRY -4.2%, ZAR -3.8% on 15-Jan; BRL -3.1% on 03-Mar). Kupiec test passes at 99% confidence (p-value 0.34). Traffic light status remains GREEN (0–4 exceptions zone).
FRTB parallel run: FRTB-IMA capital at $3,950M versus Basel 2.5 at $47,110M (8.4% ratio). ES (97.5%, 10d) at $2,126M with 1.5x base multiplier (no PLAT penalty). DRC at $910M driven by concentrated IG names across Credit and Repo desks. RRAO at $256M from exotic optionality. The dramatic capital reduction under FRTB reflects the removal of the 3× SVaR multiplier which dominates Basel 2.5 capital (96.1%).
No limit breaches. All desk-level and aggregate limits within tolerance. Next scheduled model review: 15-Apr-2026. Next RNIV quarterly refresh: 31-Mar-2026.
