Article 370 — Requirements for modelling specific risk
An internal model used for calculating own funds requirements for specific risk and an internal model for correlation trading shall meet the following additional requirements: (a) it explains the historical price variation in the portfolio; (b) it captures concentration in terms of magnitude and changes of composition of the portfolio; (c) it is robust to an adverse environment; (d) it is validated through back-testing aimed at assessing whether specific risk is being accurately captured. If the institution performs such back-testing on the basis of relevant sub-portfolios, these shall be chosen in a consistent manner; (e) it captures name-related basis risk and shall in particular be sensitive to material idiosyncratic differences between similar but not identical positions; (f) it captures event risk.
