The entire contents of our ledger at a given time. These assets are revalued using volatility that overflows the standard value-at-risk model (the standard VaR model).
How much volatility? On the basis of the volatility of historical data, it is enlarged by 10%-15%. The expected loss will exceed the company's current market value.

The mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are packaged and sold, and assets of different risk levels are packaged and sold. It takes one month for the company to rate the product risk, and the asset is held for a long time. The underlying asset is a mortgage loan, and the financial leverage is too high, even exceeding the transaction limit, which makes the risk early warning mechanism ineffective.
Mortgage valuations drop by 25%, and the losses will be higher than the company's market value.
