Notes on Correlation Stress Tests

Abstract: This note outlines an approach to stress testing of covariance of financial time series, in the context of financial risk management. It discusses how the geodesic distance between covariance matrices implies a notion of plausibility of covariance stress tests. In this approach, correlation stress tests span a submanifold of constant determinant of the Fisher--Rao manifold of covariance matrices. A parsimonious geometrically invariant definition of arbitrarily large correlation stress tests is proposed, and a few examples are discussed.
