The impact of a stress scenario of default events on the loss distribution of a credit portfolio can be assessed by determining the loss distribution conditional on these events. While it is conceptually easy to estimate loss distributions conditional on default events by means of Monte Carlo...

A classic approach to financial risk management is the use of scenario analysis to stress test portfolios. In the case of an S&P 500 options portfolio, for example, a scenario analysis might report a P&L of −$1m in the event the S&P 500 falls 5% and its implied volatility surface increases by...
