If a risk factor is missing in the stressed period because it was not observable during that period (for example for a newly listed equity) the institution may use another risk factor (in this example, another equity from the same sector and with a similar risk and business profile) for which there is information available and for which a highly correlated behaviour with the factor that the institution is trying to capture can be demonstrated. Where these proxies are used, institutions should consider whether an assumption of 100% correlation between the risk factor and its proxy is appropriate.
