For example, say an investor has a $100 portfolio, a floor of $90 (price of the bond to guarantee his $100 at maturity) and a multiplier of 5 (ensuring protection against a drop of at most 20% before rebalancing the portfolio).
And as shown on the right-hand chart, we maintained a robust provision coverage level of more than 200% over 90-plus balances of our renegotiated portfolio, underscoring our prudent risk ...
