Tower Bank approaches economic capital and risk aggregation by first estimating the stand-alone economic capital for individual risk factors. In a second step, the bank aggregates risks based on the relative amounts of economic capital allocated to these risks, taking into account the correlations between risk factors. Which of the following variables is not a primary driver of the diversification benefit that accrues from aggregation?
选项: The number of risk positions
The size of the portfolio
C.The concentration of those risk positions, or their relative weights in a portfolio
D.The correlation between the positions
解释:
B is correct. A portfolio is generally more diversified when it has many positions, which are not too large, and with low correlations. Hence answers a., c., and d. involve drivers of diversification. In contrast, risk measures are homogeneous with the size of the portfolio. Doubling all the positions will double the risk of the portfolio.
C中position越集中,不是会导致相关性越高,然后risk越高吗
