SCR Calculator User Manual

Version 1.15.0.0 Last modified 2024-7-15

Function Forms

From Menu, click "Open Subforms", and you can select:

  • Portfolio SCR Form

    In this form, a model portfolio can be set up either by adding individual assets from the Single Asset Form or by editing asset class input templates. Then its multi-jurisdictional SCRs are calculated.

  • Allocation Optimiser

    The SAA Optimiser form can perform sophisticated asset allocation optimisation in an interactive and graphical way. Data columns can be 'pulled' from the Portfolio SCR form.

  • Bond Optimiser

    The Bond Optimiser, i.e. the Fixed Income Portfolio Optimiser, is suitable for regularly improving an existing portfolio at defined turnovers, or designing a model portfolio from scratch to meet tailored demands.

  • Tripartite Reader

    It read a Tripartite report and populate all the 11 Market Risk SCR columns.

Each form has its unique layout. The different sub-regions in a form can almost always be resized by dragging along the edges. Most of the control labels in all the functional forms, if you hover the mouse over them, will show a tooltip. These forms will be explained in detail in each of their own chapters.

About

The SCR Calculator can be used for single asset or portfolio SCR calculations under multiple jurisdictions, and both asset-class-level and line-level portfolio optimisations.
