Pricing, risk management, operational and regulatory Implications
MVA vs. CVA, DVA, FVA and KVA

The world of OTC derivatives is going to change dramatically after the introduction of mandatory Initial Margining for non-cleared derivatives in September 2016. Collateral management is going to become increasingly important and the cost of trading is going to increase dramatically. In this course Ignacio introduces the new upcoming regulations and reviews its implications from a pricing, risk management, operational and regulatory perspectives. Those attending the course will be able to see the different options that institutions have with the implications, opportunities and challenges each bring along. This will include Initial Margin calculations, both Scheduled and Model based, impact in collateral optimisation, operational changes, dynamic simulations of SIMM, MVA vs. CVA, DVA, FVA and KVA, key challenges for model regulatory approval and the demands this new world will bring to systems and data.
