Analyzing Non-Standard Risk, Illiquidity and the

Associated Valuation Control Challenges

Non-standard risk often results from sharp changes in market

environments and usually translate into reduced liquidity and
increased challenges for valuation controls. Changes in the appetite
of the counterparties for similar pay-offs also create situations
of non-standard risk profiles and 1-way markets. This section will
examine examples, discuss the associated challenges to valuation
control and debate potential solutions to approach the re-affirmation
of fair value for related assets:

Pricing FX Options: How the Markets are

Getting it Wrong

Louis-Jack Tanguy
Managing Director, Global Head of Valuations
DEUTSCHE BANK

FX options are a huge and global market, with hundreds of billions

of USD of flow every day. However, do they deliver what people
think? This presentation will demonstrate that on average, payouts
diverge severely from fair pricing. Since the market began, some
options have paid back up to 140% of their face value, while
others only 40%. This presentation will analyze what drives this
long term misevaluation and why it is still going on:
Longer vs shorter tenors Why one is more valuable than
the other
In or out of the money? Strike makes a difference
Puts or calls? They are not the same
EM vs G10 options
EM hedging: In many cases, the simplest hedge has also been
the most expensive

Governance Frameworks

Hedging Choices
The USD CDS market is limited, there are at most around 1600 liquid USD singlename CDS. Other CVA hedging choices are also limited, so it is inevitable that CVA
desks will partially warehouse credit risk. Thus realistic CVA pricing must include
both warehoused and hedged risks. Warehoused risks will produce profits and
losses because of the lack of specific matching hedging flows. Paying for capital
use also requires profits. Profits may be taxable, and losses may provide tax shields.
To quantify effects of risk warehousing and tax consequences this presentation
will offer an extension of the semi-replication approach (Burgard & Kjaer 2013). In
doing so the study introduces partial hedging of value jump on counterparty default,
and a new valuation adjustment - TVA: Tax Valuation Adjustment. The presentation
will demonstrate an expectation approach to hedging open risk and so introduce a
market price of counterparty default value jump risk. Ultimately, it is shown that both
risk warehousing and tax are material in a set of interest rate swap examples:

2.55 Automation of the Valuation Function: Finding Efficiencies in

Automation is a phrase that is currently given a lot of weight as a solution

presentation will address how automation applies to Valuation Control groups,
and what practical steps teams can take to achieve the automation of simple

Panel Session

This presentation uses marked stopping times to model the defaults of two
counterparties. The role of the mark is to convey some information about the
defaults, in order to account for various possible wrong-way risk and gap risk
scenarios, and the corresponding impacts on CVA, DVA and FVA equations. Specific
tools are required to analyze the cure period (time interval between the default and
the liquidation) and the ensuing gap risk of diverging evolutions of the portfolio and
of its collateral. In particular, the liquidation time is predictable (as announced by
the default time), which modifies the nature of the pricing problems. The case of
counterparty risk on credit derivatives, a major wrong-way and gap risk concern,
poses specific dependence modeling and dimensionality challenges. To address
these, the study resorts to dynamic copula models of portfolio credit risk and applies
the mentioned approach in these setups.

Post-Summit Workshop Session: 11th December 2014

Advances in Counterparty Risk and Funding

BACKGROUND

Attend this workshop to:

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

All the XVA adjustments (CVA, DVA, FVA etc.) are

today one of the main P&L centers of investment
banks. XVA adjustments touch on many differing
areas including: modeling, pricing, accounting, risk
management, regulation, computation, economics
etc. Moreover, they are interdependent and in need of
computing together. The XVA adjustments therefore
can be seen too often to interact in conflicting
perspectives. It is for this reason the V-FI programme
was created, so that different areas of the bank could
talk through the complex issues behind the XVA and
their implications for the front and back office.

Understand CVA/DVA/FVA decomposition and the

involved double counting issues

Prior knowledge requirement: Stochastic analysis and

mathematical finance at a good MSc level.

Define the meaning of windfall benefit at own

default (or not)

OBJECTIVES
The aim of this course is to introduce different
aspects of the controversial issues within
counterparty risk and funding: CVA, DVA, FVA, WrongWay Risk, and Ratings Valuation Adjustment (RVA) to
help manage these conflicts effectively.

Study the different levels of nonlinearity involved in

CVA versus FVA computations
Implement different levels of nonlinear regressions
that can be used for pricing exposure or XVA terms
Develop backward stochastic differential equations
for pricing and XVA computation
Understand the connection with the multicurve
post-crisis market feature
Manage wrong way risk effects regarding
counterparty risk embedded in credit derivatives
Build a solution to the bottom-up versus top-down
credit portfolio modeling puzzle by means of
dynamic copula models

Quantitative Risk
Treasury
Operations
Product Control
Accounting

Finance

WORKSHOP STYLE
The course will consist of a series of practical applications
and recommendations designed to be as interactive as
possible. Case studies and exercises, often taken from
real-life scenarios, will be extensively used.
