The importance of Stress Testing and Scenario Analysis in multi asset portfolios.

In multi-asset portfolios, the ability to assess portfolio performance across diverse market conditions is crucial. Senior management and clients often seek insights into portfolio construction, risk management, and sensitivity to market factors. This requires leveraging scenario analysis and stress testing.
