The diploma seminar thesis analyzes the case of a large loss at JPMorgan Chase in 2012, which was caused by flawed trading strategies within the Synthetic Credit Portfolio (SCP). It discusses banking regulations such as the Basel Accords and the Volcker Rule, and outlines key risk metrics that were ignored or misused in this case. Particular attention is given to institutional and organizational failures, manipulation of risk indicators, and inadequate response by regulators. The work emphasizes the importance of effective oversight, transparency, and responsible management in financial institutions.
