The Challenge: Pre-COVID portfolio stress testing for a ₹50 lakh balanced portfolio (60% equity, 40% debt) against potential market crisis scenarios.
Bear-Base-Bull Analysis (January 2020):
| Portfolio Metrics | Bear Scenario (-40%) | Base Scenario (+8%) | Bull Scenario (+25%) | Actual (COVID) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equity Portfolio Value | ₹18 lakh (-40%) | ₹32.4 lakh (+8%) | ₹37.5 lakh (+25%) | ₹17.4 lakh (-42%) |
| Debt Portfolio Value | ₹19 lakh (-5%) | ₹21.2 lakh (+6%) | ₹22 lakh (+10%) | ₹18.8 lakh (-6%) |
| Total Portfolio Value | ₹37 lakh (-26%) | ₹53.6 lakh (+7.2%) | ₹59.5 lakh (+19%) | ₹36.2 lakh (-28%) |
| Prediction Accuracy | 92% accurate | Not realized | Not realized | Bear scenario matched |
The Result: The Bear scenario analysis predicted a 26% portfolio decline, while the actual COVID crash resulted in 28% decline—demonstrating 92% accuracy in stress testing predictions.
