Learn how derivative businesses can incorporate XVAs into pre-trade prices and make more profitable trading decisions.
Sell-side derivative businesses have been forced to change radically over the last 10 years. From complying with complex regulations, to adapting to major market structure changes, to figuring out how to optimize capital, collateral, and funding while managing risk and remaining profitable, all while fending off competitors, retaining clients, and fighting for market share – it’s been a crazy ride.
One consequence of all these changes is the addition of valuation adjustments (XVAs) into dealers’ derivative prices, to incorporate counterparty risk, funding costs and other costs into the prices to ensure they are beingfairly compensated for the costs and risks they bear. Most recently, as stricter margining regulations come into force and banks adopt the Standard Initial Margin Model (SIMM) for non-cleared derivatives, banks must deal with margining, but many are struggling to do so.
Why are banks finding SIMM and especially Margin Valuation Adjustments (MVA) so challenging to deal with? How can banks assess all of the XVAs – which are notoriously “expensive” to calculate due to the huge number of simulations required – BEFORE they transact a trade, to ensure they are executing at a profitable price while fully understanding the risk and cost implications of the trade?
Many banks are turning to Numerix for help with these challenges. As an early thought leader and technology disruptor in the XVA space, Numerix introduced its Oneview solution to help banks perform pre-deal XVA checks as well as conduct the margining calculations needed to thrive in the new world of derivatives.
