Can someone help me with this exam solutions please?
In the solution, it says
• It assumes that risks are fully independent
But is it possible that it also assume full dependence, because it assumes all top 5 risk will happen together over a given time period? what would the calculation be like if it was full dependence? would there have to be a correlation terms deducted from the sum of the top 5 risks?
The operational risk capital for each franchise is calculated as the sum of the risk
capital required for each of the top five operational risks for that franchise. An
additional 25% is added to the total to allow for the remaining operational risks.
(v) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to calculating
operational risk capital.
