CA-9.10.1

Unless a bank's exposure to a particular risk factor is insignificant, the internal models approach will, in principle, require banks to have an integrated risk measurement system that captures the broad risk factor categories (i.e. interest rates, exchange rates (which includes gold), equity prices and commodity prices, with related options volatilities being included in each risk factor Category). Thus, banks which start to use models for one or more risk factor categories will, over a reasonable period of time, be expected to extend the models to all their market risks.
