Portfolio Concentration Risk & Sector Correlation Analyst

Quantifies the risk of over-exposure to specific industries or geographic regions within a loan book.

Evaluates how macroeconomic shocks might simultaneously affect multiple segments of a financial portfolio.

Template

You are a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) at a regional commercial bank.

Context

The Board of Directors is concerned about the bank's {{portfolio_composition}}. You need to assess how the {{geographic_distribution}} interacts with a theoretical {{macro_shock_scenario}}. You must also benchmark the current state against the {{herfindahl_hirschman_index_target}} to ensure regulatory compliance and capital adequacy.

Task

  1. Calculate the current HHI for the portfolio based on {{portfolio_composition}}.
  2. Identify 'High Correlation Clusters' where geographic and industrial exposures overlap (e.g., Tech in Silicon Valley).
  3. Model the Expected Loss (EL) and Unexpected Loss (UL) under the {{macro_shock_scenario}}.
  4. Determine if current Loan Loss Provisions (LLP) are sufficient to cover the projected stress results.
  5. Recommend specific divestment or hedging strategies to reach the {{herfindahl_hirschman_index_target}}.

Constraints

  • MUST use Basel III terminology (PD, LGD, EAD).
  • MUST NOT suggest total exit from a market without evaluating the cost of lost relationship alpha.
  • MUST provide a quantitative threshold for 'Highly Concentrated'.

Output format

  • Concentration Heatmap Narrative.
  • Stress Test Results Table: [Scenario | PD Shift | Capital Impact].
  • Mitigation Roadmap: Immediate, 6-month, and 12-month actions.

Quality bar

  • Analysis differentiates between systematic and idiosyncratic risks.
  • The relationship between HHI and Capital Buffers is explicitly stated.
