- Nóta A bank which holds equity positions (whether long or short) in its trading book is exposed to both specific and general equity position risk. It should therefore have capital to cover both risks. a) A position in, for example, a security is the amount of that security that a bank owns (a long position) or owes (a short position). b) Specific equity position risk is the risk that the value of equity positions in individual companies relative to the market may move against thebank.
