Liquidity & Liquidity Stress Testing Models

Bring clarity to your current liquidity position and the uncertainties that lie ahead.

Liquidity is the lifeblood of your organization, and the ability to assess potential changes to a liquidity position is critical even in stable economic times. Validating liquidity stress testing models enables institutions to evaluate their ability to withstand varying degrees of economic, financial, operational, environmental, or systemic stress. DCG's liquidity risk management experts will help ensure that your liquidity risk modeling meaningfully captures your institution's vulnerabilities and successfully contributes to your contingency planning and execution.

​​“Ultimately it comes down to the confidence you have in the information coming from your models – that's what a good validation will provide to you.”

Mark Haberland
