 of transactions. Significant market risk factors the Group is exposed to and are overseen by risk management groups in that area are interest rate risk (including risk from embedded optionality and changes in behavioral patterns for certain product types), credit spread risk, foreign exchange risk (including structural foreign exchange risk), equity risk (including equity compensation related risk and investments in public and private equity as well as real estate, infrastructure and fund assets). As for trading market risks the Group’s risk appetite and limit framework is also applied to manage our exposure to non-trading market risk. On group level those are captured by the management board set limits for market risk economic capital capturing exposures to all market risks across asset classes as well as earnings and economic value based limits for interest rate risk in the banking books. Those limits are cascaded down by market risk management to the divisional or portfolio level. The limit framework for non-trading market risk exposure is further complemented by a set of business specific stress tests, value-at-risk & sensitivity limits monitored on a daily or monthly basis dependent on the risk measure being used.

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book Interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) is the current or prospective risk, to both the Group's capital and earnings, arising from movements in interest rates, which affect the Group's banking book exposures. This includes gap risk, which arises from the term structure of banking book instruments, basis risk, which describes the impact of relative changes in interest rates for financial instruments that are priced using different interest rate curves, as well as option risk, which arises from option derivative positions or from optional elements embedded in financial instruments. The Group manages its IRRBB exposures using economic value as well as earnings based measures. The Group Treasury function is mandated to manage the interest rate risk centrally, with Treasury Risk Management acting as 2nd Line of Defense (LoD) independently assessing and challenging the implementation of the framework and adherence to the risk appetite. Group Audit in its role as the 3rd LoD is accountable for providing independent and objective assurance on the adequacy of the design, operating effectiveness and efficiency of the risk management system and systems of internal control. The Group Asset & Liability Committee (“ALCo”) oversees and steers the Group’s structural interest risk position with particular focus on banking book risks and the management of the net interest income. The ALCo monitors the sensitivity of financial resources and associated metrics to key market parameters such as interest rate curves and oversees
