11:00 – 11:45 DEEPLY LEARNING DERIVATIVES

Abstract

This paper uses deep learning to value derivatives. The approach is broadly applicable, and we use a call option on a basket of stocks as an example. We show that the deep learning model is accurate and very fast, capable of producing valuations a million times faster than traditional models. We develop a methodology to randomly generate appropriate training data and explore the impact of several parameters including layer width and depth, training data quality and quantity on model speed and accuracy.

13:30 – 14:15 THE PRICING OF XVA AND STOCHASTIC CORPORATE LIABILITIES

• A structural model allows to construct a self-consistent and paradox-free theory of XVA.

• Derivatives are treated as stochastic liabilities of issuers.

• XVA on new business is always a corporate finance problem, as marginal debt (stochastic or not) must be priced. In practice it is approximated by various CCDSs, assuming marginal debt is small.

• DVA is credit haircut on a theoretical value of a (stochastic) liability. It is created together with the liability, it cannot be hedged and it must be borne by the original investor that then can later sell it physically or synthetically (CDS).

• CVA is the counterparty’s DVA from the investor’s point of view. Treatment of reciprocal investments is possible but requires settlement theory.

• FVA is syntactic sugar for marginal DVA; valuing FVA requires explicit assumptions about marginal assets.

• Cost of capital (KVA) must be borne by the party that decides on the asset/liability structure, i.e. by “effective shareholder”. It cannot be transferred to pure bond investors (as DVA).

• Collateralization turns deals into swaps with no initial exchange and shifts funding of PNL to third parties. Such funding will attract its own DVA.

Presenter: Andrey Chirikhin: Founder, Quantitative Recipes

14:15 – 15:00 FAST CALCULATION OF CREDIT EXPOSURES

• New method for the calculation of credit exposures of Bermudan, barrier and European options based on Chebyshev interpolation.

• Closed form approximation of the option prices along the paths together with the options’ delta and gamma.

• Polynomial structure of the approximation allows a highly efficient evaluation of the credit exposures, even for a large number of simulated paths.

• The presented approach is flexible in the model choice, payoff profiles and asset classes.

• Investigation of exposure profiles and discussion of practical implications.

(Joint work with Kathrin Glau and Ricardo Pachon)

15:00 – 15:30 AFTERNOON BREAK AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

15:30 – 16:15 QUANTUM ANNEALING FOR MULTI-PERIOD XVA REVERSE STRESS TESTING

Abstract:

One to one relations among banks are often the limit of risk models. Counterparty dynamics beyond a one to one relation has started to appear in network risk metrics, but these network models often rely on Pareto distributed random networks to integrate out the known structural constraints and interactions that dictate the flow of risk modelled by xVA. Interdependencies are integral to credit risk modelling, but the default xVA assumption is counterparty independence. This independence assumption results in an unrealistic picture of credit risk. In light of the rich dynamics available through network models and xVA, we present an interconnected Agent-based xVA model of this complex interconnected system of banks as agents interacting according to their behavioural dynamics. This new Agent-based xVA model results in a higher-order impact assessment of emergent counterparty risk.

Presenter: Krishnen Vytelingum: Agent-based Modelling Specialist, Simudyne

11:45 – 12:30 XVA FROM THE BEGINNING

Abstract

We use a single period structural model of a dealer balance sheet to study the impact of regulatory capital requirements on the marginal fair value and shareholder indifference price of a new derivative. As expected the former does not change. The latter is reduced by a capital valuation adjustment, which depends on the financing method used by the dealer. Finally we show that if the dealer hedges the derivative, then the indifference price is related to the cost of setting up the hedge.

Presenter: Mats Kjaer: Head of Quant XVA Analytics, Bloomberg LP

14:15 – 15:00 XVA METRICS FOR CCP OPTIMISATION (JOINT WORK WITH YANNICK ARMENTI)

• Based on an XVA analysis of centrally cleared derivative trading, we consider two capital and funding issues pertaining to the efficiency of the design of central counterparties (CCPs).

• Regarding capital, we challenge pure market risk specifications of the sizing (such as Cover 2) and allocation of the default fund, by economic capital specifications based on expected shortfalls of a one year ahead trading loss of the CCP. Our default fund contributions would be pure “survivor pay” capital at risk, remunerated as such at a cost-of-capital hurdle rate.

• Regarding funding, we compare the MVAs resulting from two different IM raising strategies: a standard approach, where the IM is funded by unsecured borrowing by the clearing member, and an alternative strategy where a clearing member delegates the posting of its IM to a specialist lender with low funding costs.

• We find that, unless efficient (such as specialist lender) IM raising strategies are implemented, the IM funding expenses are in fact the main contributor to an economical capital based default fund of a CCP. This is an illustration of the transfer of counterparty risk into liquidity risk triggered by extensive collateralization

Presenter: Stéphane Crépey: Professor of Mathematics, University Of Evry

MoCaX Intelligence is a new-to-the-market algorithm that accelerates existing Risk Engines without the need for complex systems development or expensive hardware upgrades. MoCaX removes the pricing step bottle-neck that often uses over 90% of computational effort in existing engines and increases capabilities by several orders of magnitude with no loss of accuracy.

MoCaX builds on the new Algorithmic Pricer Acceleration (APA) and Algorithmic Greeks Acceleration (AGA) methods. APA synthesises your existing pricers and creates an accelerated version of them. Even your very slowest and complex pricer, passed through MoCaX, will return the same results (down to 10-15 precision) ultra-fast (up to a few nanoseconds). For example, this enables highly accurate Monte Carlo within Monte Carlo in an instant.

AGA is a further enhancement, creating also an ultra-accurate, ultra-fast function of the Greeks of your pricers, even when you do not have an expression for them. This enables for example exact MVA and MVA sensitivity calculations.

APA and AGA work for any pricing function: analytical, tree or MC based; and with any asset class.

With one million accurate Price or Greek values in a few milliseconds, MoCaX delivers:

• massive acceleration of your current simulations• previously-impossible simulations, e.g. accurate and ultra-fast MVA via real Dynamic

SIMM• potential for trades that had been too slow to simulate, e.g. non-linear products,

barriers, bermudans• enhanced regulatory approval, because MoCaX delivers perfect pricing and widens IMM

product scope

MoCaX Intelligence: the next step forward.

Please ask for a free version of MoCaX so you can test it for yourself.
