This matrix must have names, i.e. attributes colnames and rownames indicating the names of the corresponding narket risk-factors, please note that "participation" is a reserved name and should not be used. This matrix should also have an attribute named "base.currency" indicating to which currency the fx rates are mapped in the covariance matrix (use the function attr()).
