VaR increas. in size Comp diff risk agg meth acr bnk obs VCA prod cons the lowest VaR & either the ECS or AGCS highest, foll by TCS cons., GCS “benchmark” & FC us. tow. mdl., CS tow. Low but above VCA. FG tends close GCS but us. just little lower,TCS just little higher GCS (some cases not by much). e.g., T200; GS 764B vs. EC 859B vs. GC 930B (larger) vs. VCA 688B smallest, CC 728B sm. Side & FC 752B toward middle
NCVs for PDB > VaR: excl VCA & ECS 17-76% vs 7-12% ECS uniformly lowest 12.2-17.6% VCA much higher 83.4-158.2% Excl above: AGC notably higher stand. Cop’s: 44.1%-75.5% GC on low side 17.3-34.3% vs. TC sl higher 22.5-39.5% CC 22.7-30.0% close GC on lower end
As % BVA VaR looks to be somewhat incr w/size – 6-8% AT200, lower-mid teens T45 & then mid-high teens PNC

GOF tests highly mixed: rej null mdl fits data (rel to EC) just under 1/2 cases 14/30 & do not lend to clear pattern. But gen. rej. fit not very high sig lvl->perh mdls dec job: only 3 rej > 1% lvl (AGCS for AT200&JPMC, AGCS for JPMC), only 1 at 5% AFCS for AT200, rem 9 at only 10% AT200 most rej all cases (but 1&2 @ 10&5%), foll by JPMC (2 rej T&AG), CITI and WELLS (2 rej e. 10%), BofA&PNC the least (1 e. at 10%l).GCS maybe OK in that rej on AT200 @ 5%? Across bnks TCS&FCS rej 4X the most often (4/3 10%,FCS 1 @ 5%) AGC only 2 rej but only 2 @ 1% lvl & lowest PVs, CCS other 1% rej & 1 10% rej
