About This Template
Model portfolio stress scenarios with this professional Excel template. The Stress Testing Scenario Calculator helps risk managers, portfolio analysts, and financial advisors assess capital adequacy under adverse market conditions. Input your portfolio holdings, apply equity shocks, interest rate moves, and credit spread changes, then instantly see projected losses and whether your capital buffer is sufficient.
What You Can Calculate
This template computes comprehensive stress test metrics:
- Total Portfolio Loss — Combined impact of equity, rate, and credit shocks on your portfolio value
- Loss Coverage Ratio — Capital cushion divided by projected loss, indicating whether reserves are adequate (150%+), thin (100-150%), or insufficient (<100%)
- Component Losses — Separate equity loss, rate effect (can be positive when rates fall), and credit spread loss for attribution analysis
- Capital Adequacy Classification — Automatic PASS/WARNING/FAIL designation based on coverage ratio thresholds
Required Inputs
Enter your portfolio data in the light blue cells:
- Portfolio Holdings — Equity value, fixed income value and duration, credit portfolio value and spread duration (all in $M)
- Stress Parameters — Equity shock (%), interest rate shock (bps), credit spread shock (bps)
- Capital Buffer — Available capital cushion to absorb losses
Methodology
The template uses standard duration-based approximations for fixed income sensitivity. Rate Effect = -(FI Value x Duration x Rate Change), capturing how falling rates increase bond prices. Credit losses use spread duration similarly. All shocks are applied instantaneously without path dependency or correlation adjustments.
Assumptions & Limitations
- Linear stress factors applied instantaneously
- No portfolio rebalancing during stress
- First-order duration approximation only
- Uniform credit shocks across all tiers
- Spread-only credit impact (no default modeling)
