Hello,I found some links articles saying the "Derivatives Policy Group ("DPG") did some research on the topic but all the links seem quite old. Does anybody know if this organisation still exists respectively where I can find some info about it.Thx,Christoph

Hi,There are two kinds of stress scenariis :Historical ones : take a look at what happened in the past, like 1929, 1978, 1987, 1999, 2001, etc... even when the market got strongly bull.Hypothetical ones : there you need someone to elaborate these scenariis, look into the web but i don't know any one who produces such thing. Each institution has its own confidential scenariis.But with historical scenariis, you shall have a first good and strong impression of what your stress bull & bear risks are.

The following website has the DPG paper http://riskinstitute.ch/137790.htm See Chapter IV section III b (subsections a through i)The following paper has some historical scenarios:Wee Lieng-Seng and Judy Lee, Spring 1999, Integrating Stress-testing withRisk Management, Bank Accounting and Finance
