medium · FRM Part 2 Market Risk
A bank's backtesting of its 99% daily VaR over 250 days reveals 6 exceptions.
According to the Basel 'Traffic Light' regime, what is the consequence for the capital multiplier m?
- The multiplier m is reduced to 2.5 because the exception count is within one standard deviation of the expected value.
- The model enters the Yellow Zone, and the multiplier m rises stepwise from its base of 3.0.
- The model remains in the Green Zone, and m remains at 3.0.
- The model enters the Red Zone, and the bank must immediately move to the Standardized Approach.
