BNY Mellon incurred a value-at-risk backtesting exception in Q2, as a result of larger-than-expected trading losses.

The custodian bank’s losses-to-VAR ratio on the day in which it reported a backtesting exception was 145.75%. It was the first such instance since Q1 2018 and the only VAR breach in the quarter across the eight US global systemically important banks (G-Sibs).
