the system used for measuring diversification effects identifies the key variables driving dependencies;
the system used for measuring diversification effects takes into account all of the following:
any non-linear dependence and any lack of diversification under extreme scenarios;

the characteristics of the risk measure used in the internal model;
the assumptions underlying the system used for measuring diversification effects are justified on an empirical basis.
