Stress Testing

Baseline, adverse, severe, and climate shock default/LGD trajectories.

What This Means for You

See how your portfolio holds up under severe weather, recession, or climate shock. We run NGFS scenarios and custom stress tests so you know your worst-case losses before they happen.

How It Works

1

Define scenarios (baseline, adverse, severe, climate shock) with peril-driven PD/LGD uplifts.

2

Roll 6–18 month post-event PD surges for declared disasters (event studies).

3

Aggregate portfolio losses and compare to capital/provision buffers.

Key Capabilities

Baseline
Adverse
Severely Adverse
Climate Shock

When You'll See Results

Event PD uplift window 6–18 months post-disaster.

Scenario horizons 1–3 yrs; quarterly reporting.

Technical Details

Formulas

Baseline PD = (10 - CLIMA Score) × 0.002 (minimum 1%)
Adverse PD = Baseline PD × 2.0 (recession scenario)
Severely Adverse PD = Baseline PD × 5.0 (depression + climate shock)
Climate Shock PD = Baseline PD × 3.2 (extreme weather events)
LGD Baseline = max(0.2, (10 - CLIMA Score) × 0.05)
LGD Adverse = LGD Baseline × 1.3
LGD Severe = LGD Baseline × 1.5
Portfolio Loss = Σ(Loan Amount × Scenario PD × Scenario LGD)
Capital Buffer Required = Portfolio Loss - Expected Loss
Stress Loss Reduction = Traditional Stress Loss - CLIMA Stress Loss

Example

$100M portfolio in high-risk ZIP (CLIMA Score 3.0)

1
Baseline PD = (10 - 3.0) × 0.002 1.4%
2
Baseline LGD = (10 - 3.0) × 0.05 35%
3
Baseline EL = $100M × 1.4% × 35% $490k
4
Adverse PD = 1.4% × 2.0 2.8%
5
Adverse Loss = $100M × 2.8% × 45.5% $1,274k
6
Severely Adverse PD = 1.4% × 5.0 7.0%
7
Severely Adverse Loss = $100M × 7.0% × 52.5% $3,675k
8
Climate Shock PD = 1.4% × 3.2 4.48%
9
Climate Shock Loss = $100M × 4.48% × 47.25% $2,117k
10
Traditional (no CLIMA): Baseline PD = 6.25%, Severely Adverse 31.25%
11
Traditional Severely Adverse Loss = $100M × 31.25% × 56.3% $17,594k
Key takeaway
CLIMA Protection = $17,594k - $3,675k $13,919k (79% reduction)
