Stress Test & Tail Risk Insights

Our stress testing proactively identifies portfolio vulnerabilities and extreme events by anticipating a diverse range of extreme yet realistic scenarios, offering deeper insights beyond standard risk metrics.

Stress Test of a Portfolio of Single Companies

Scenario Description NAV (% of Base) Default Rate Exit Correlation
Base Case Normal market conditions 100.0% 15.3% -97.6%
Market Crash Market down 30%, lower distributions, higher defaults 74.0% 35.5% -32.1%
Liquidity Crisis Funding constraints and secondary market distress 86.7% 26.4% 29.1%
Slow Exit Extended holding periods, delayed exits 97.0% 19.7% -95.0%

Stress Test of a Portfolio of PE Funds

Scenario Description NAV (% of Base Case) Median Forecast IRR
No Stress Normal market conditions 115.7% 11.5%
Market Crash Market down 30%, lower distributions, and higher secondary market discounts 86.1% 3.5%
Liquidity Crisis Funding constraints, lower distributions, and secondary market distress 95.9% 6.6%
Slow Exits Extended holding periods, and delayed distributions 104.9% 8.8%
Rate Cuts 50bps fall in interest rates over the next 6 months 116.4% 11.5%
Spread Widening 200bps widening of credit spreads 112.4% 10.7%

Note: Stress test was performed on a representative sample of 100 funds typically held by institutional investors.

Stress scenarios assume 6-month shock conditions.

IRR is calculated using full simulation of future cashflows including initial NAV.

Tail Risk Analysis

By identifying and analyzing the economic and financial factors that drive worst-case scenarios—often referred to as tail events—we gain deeper insights into potential vulnerabilities within our portfolios.

This proactive approach allows us to anticipate extreme but plausible risks, facilitating the timely implementation of targeted hedging and risk mitigation strategies.
