7 Title I – Subject matter, Scope and Definitions

1. Ülevaade

Pealkiri	Regulatsioon
1. Subject matter	These guidelines aim at achieving a common understanding among the competent authorities across the EU on Stressed Value at Risk (VaR) models in order to enhance convergence of supervisory practices in line with Annex V of Directive 2006/49/EC, as amended by Directive 2010/76/EU.
2. Scope and level of application	2. Scope and level of application
3. Definitions	In these guidelines the following definitions should apply: a. The term institutions should mean credit institutions and investment firms as set out in Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC. b. The term antithetic data under point 6 of these Guidelines should mean price movements which are considered relevant irrespective of their direction. c. The term de-meaning under point 10 of these Guidelines should mean a quantitative process to remove a trend from historical data. Depending on the positions and the size of the trend, not removing the drift from the historical data to simulate the price variations could generate mainly profitable scenarios and very few and limited losses. d. The term proxy under point 11 of these Guidelines should mean an observable variable or price taken from a liquid market that is used to substitute a variable that cannot be observed (or whose hypothetical price does not reflect real transactions from a deep two-way market) and thus cannot be accurately measured. Institutions use proxies both for valuation and risk measurement purposes. From a theoretical perspective three types of proxies can be identified: those applied in the valuation of instruments (which would affect the adequacy of VaR and Stressed VaR as capital measures); those used for 8 VaR calculations (which would also be present in Stressed VaR metrics); and those affecting solely the Stressed VaR calculation.
