Article 41 - Assessment of the calculation of the expected shortfall risk measure

Article 41

Assessment of the calculation of the expected shortfall risk measure

1.   When assessing whether an institution’s internal model is implemented with integrity as required by Article 325bi(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 in relation to the calculation of the unconstrained expected shortfall measures and of the partial expected shortfall measures for all broad categories of risk factors at a reduced frequency as referred to in Article 325bb(4) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, competent authorities shall:

(a)

analyse the process that the institution uses to determine the day of the week when the measures are computed;

(b)

verify that a reduction in the calculation frequency does not lead to an underestimation of risk.

2.   For the purposes of paragraph 1, point (b), competent authorities shall:

(a)

verify whether the analysis performed by the institution is adequate to demonstrate that there is no underestimation of risk;

(b)

verify whether the evolution of the daily figures for UES t ,

calculated on all portfolio’s positions as required by Article 325bb(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, does not systematically show a lower risk profile in the day chosen by the institution.

3.   For the purposes of paragraph 2, point (b), competent authorities may, where there are hints of a systematically lower risk profile, complement their assessment by:

(a)

requiring the institution to calculate daily and for a given period the unconstrained expected shortfall measures
