Which of the following is not a measure of risk sensitivity of some kind?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Volatility clustering leads to levels of current volatility that can be significantly different from long run averages. When volatility is running high, institutions need to shed risk, and when it is running low, they can afford to increase returns by taking on more risk for a given amount of capital. An institution's response to changes in volatility can be either to adjust risk, or capital, or both. Accounting for volatility clustering helps institutions manage their risk and capital and therefore statements I and II are correct.

Regulatory requirements do not require volatility clustering to be taken into account (at least not yet). Therefore statement III is not correct, and neither is IV which is completely unrelated to volatility clustering.

Delta is usually tied to options pricing, but I can't recall if it's considered a risk measure or not.

CR01 is about credit risk, right? So it must be a measure of risk sensitivity.

Convexity definitely sounds like a measure of risk sensitivity, especially in bond pricing.

I think I remember that PL01 is related to profit and loss, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a risk measure.

I think I've got this one! PL01 is not a risk measure, it's a credit risk metric. The rest are all related to market risk in some way. I'll go with A.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Convexity and Delta are related to risk, but I'm not sure about the others. Guess I'll have to eliminate the ones I'm less certain about.

Okay, let me see... PL01, Convexity, CR01, Delta. I'm pretty sure Delta is a measure of risk sensitivity, so that's probably not the answer.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different risk measures carefully to figure out which one doesn't fit.
