MORGAN STANLEY BANK ASIA LIMITED UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION Year ended 31 December 2020 H. PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURE (CONTINUED) Table LIQA: Liquidity risk management (continued) (c) Liquidity Stress Tests The Company uses Liquidity Stress Tests to model external and intercompany liquidity flows across multiple scenarios and a range of time horizons. These scenarios contain various combinations of idiosyncratic and systemic stress events of different severity and duration. The methodology, implementation, production and analysis of the Company's Liquidity Stress Tests are important components of the Required Liquidity Framework. Liquidity Stress Tests are produced for the Company, to capture specific cash requirements and cash availability. The Liquidity Stress Tests assume that a legal entity will use its own liquidity first to fund its obligations before drawing liquidity from its ultimate parent undertaking, Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley will support its subsidiaries and will not have access to subsidiaries' liquidity resources that are subject to any regulatory, legal or tax constraints. In addition to the assumptions underpinning the Liquidity Stress Tests, the Company takes into consideration the settlement risk related to intra-day settlement and clearing of securities and financing activities. (d) Liquidity risk mitigation techniques Liquidity Resources The Company maintains sufficient liquidity resources which consists of unencumbered highly liquid securities and cash deposits with banks (including central banks) (“Liquidity Resources") to cover daily funding needs and to meet strategic liquidity targets sized by the Required Liquidity Framework and Liquidity Stress Tests. The total amount of Liquidity Resources is actively managed by the Company considering the following components: unsecured debt maturity profile; balance sheet size and composition; funding needs in a stressed environment inclusive of contingent cash outflows; and collateral requirements. The amount of liquidity resources the Company holds is based on the Company's risk tolerance and is subject to change depending on market and firm-specific events. Unencumbered highly liquid securities consist netted trading assets, investment securities and securities received as collateral. The Company holds its own Liquidity Resources which is composed of diversified cash and cash equivalents and unencumbered highly liquid securities.
