The Agency recognises that even a bank which uses a comprehensive model may still incur risks in positions which are not captured by their internal models², for example, in remote locations, in minor currencies or in negligible business areas³. Any such risks that are not included in a model should be separately measured and reported using the standardised approach described in chapters CA-4 to CA-8.

² Banks may also incur interest rate and equity risks outside of their trading activities. However, there are no explicit capital charges for the price risk in such positions.

³ For example, if a bank is hardly engaged in commodities it will not necessarily be expected to model its commodities risk.
