Stress Test Scenario
A method to query data from our stress test scenario models. Data returned includes hypothetical price, volatility and performance impacts of various historical market shock scenarios. Traditional examples might often include what a given portfolio's value would be if the Lehman brothers crisis unfolded again. Using our custom factor clusters, we provide an extensive range of scenarios for capital markets (ie great depression, Lehman Brother, AIG, terrorist attacks) and specific to crypto (Mt. Gox collapse, Silk Road, Bitfinex hack, China bans, major legal and regulatory cases, Bitcoin ETF rejections, announcements of crypto platforms with major global corporations) and much more.
