Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test 2015: Supervisory Stress Test Methodology and Results

Errata

The Federal Reserve revised this paper on March 11, 2015, to reflect corrected data received from four bank holding companies after the original publication of this paper on March 5, 2015. The corrections relate to risk-weighted assets for the third quarter of 2014, which impacted the calculation of their starting tier 1 common capital ratios and by extension their post-stress minimum and ending tier 1 common capital ratios in the severely adverse and adverse scenarios. No other capital ratios are affected by the corrected data. The revisions are listed below.
