PRUDENT VALUATION: REGULATION, CALCULATION & ORGANISATION BY MARCO BIANCHETTI: HEAD OF FINANCIAL MODELLING & VALIDATION, INTESA SANPAOLO & UMBERTO CHERUBINI: ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS, UNIVERSITY OF BOLOGNA

DAY SCHEDULE: 09:00 – 17:30 BREAK: 10:30 – 10:45 / LUNCH: 12:30 – 13:30 / BREAK: 15:15 – 15:30

ABSTRACT

Traditionally, quantitative finance practitioners are divided into two populations: those who seek fair values, i.e. means of price distributions, and those who seek risk measures, i.e. quantiles of price distributions. Fair value people and risk people typically live in separate lands, and worship different gods: the profit and loss balance sheet, and regulatory capital, respectively.

Prudent Valuation is a rather unexplored midland which has recently emerged somewhere in between the well known mainlands of Pricing and Risk Management. In fact, the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), requires financial institutions to apply prudent valuation to all fair value positions. The difference between the prudent value and the fair value, called Additional Valuation Adjustment (AVA), is directly deducted from the Core Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital. On March 31st 2014, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published a draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) for prudent valuation, to be approved by the EU Commission.

The 90% confidence level required by regulators for prudent valuation links quantiles of price distributions (exit prices) to capital, thus bridging the gap between the Pricing and Risk Management mainlands, and forcing the crossbreeding of the fair value and risk populations above.

In this seminar, we will explore the Prudent Valuation land.

PRACTICAL AND EFFICIENT XVA IMPLEMENTATIONS IN C++ BY JÖRG LOTZE: TECHNICAL LEAD & CO-FOUNDER, XCELERIT

DAY SCHEDULE: 09:00 – 17:30 BREAK: 10:30 – 10:45 / LUNCH: 12:30 – 13:30 / BREAK: 15:15 – 15:30

ABSTRACT

Since the financial crisis of 2008, financial institutions have radically shifted their focus towards active management of the risks associated with OTC contracts. It is now standard practice to adjust derivative prices for counterparty credit risk and for the associated funding costs by means of CVA, DVA, FVA, and others - commonly referred to as xVA. The tight time constraints, high computational complexity, and ever-changing models require efficient implementations which don’t become a maintanance burden.

In this workshop you will learn how to implement a practical and efficient xVA framework in C++ that can deal with these challenges.

Useful C++ techniques will be covered, possible software architectures discussed, and practical examples shown throughout. The workshop covers a complete view of the xVA computation, including algorithmic optimisations, data loading, and results aggregation.

3) C++ Architecture

16:15 – 17:00CHALLENGING THE ASSUMPTIONS BEHIND THE TRADITIONAL 10-DAY MODEL FOR THE MARGIN PERIOD OF RISKby Alexander Sokol: CEO and Head of Quant Research, CompatibL

• The popular 10-day model for the margin period of risk is found to make a number of assumptions that are inconsistent with market practice and the relevant legal agreements (IMA/CSA)

• An improved model is proposed that considers the remedies and suspension rights available within IMA/CSA (accounting their variations), the firm’s policies in availing itself of these rights against different types of counterparties,

• and the typical time it takes to exercise them in practice.

• The proposed model captures the operation of IMA/CSA in considerably greater detail than the model currently used by most practitioners, while remaining fully tractable and computationally effective.

• The inclusion of these effects had significant impact on XVA and CCR capital for several representative portfolios we considered.
