About This Course
 

Lesson 4, March 25: FRT Standardized Approach

In Lesson 4, Sanjay and Jeb investigate the three phases for calculating regulatory capital under FRTB’s standardized approach including the Sensitivities Based Approach (SBA), the Default Risk Charge (DRC) and the Residual Risk Add-On (RRAO).  They will model a sample portfolio at the regulatory trading desk level, and then examine how netting and diversification is constrained through the roll-up to business unit and enterprise level netting sets. Sample computations will be provided for individual securities and portfolios. Sensitivity analysis is provided as the first building block for desk optimization.


Lesson 5, April 1: FRTB Internal Models Approach (IMA)

In Lesson 5, Sanjay and Jeb analyze the constraints and opportunities provided by FRTB’s internal models approach to regulatory capital attribution. They will cover implementation and testing challenges with sample simulations. They will also explore how new constraints such as extended Liquidity Horizons, non-modellable risk factors, and sensitivity calibration will impact the proprietary of IMA usage in each regulatory trading desk. 

 

Lesson 6, April 8: Default Risk Charge (DRC) under FRTB

In Lesson 6, Sanjay and Jeb discuss how Basel III’s market risk approach explicitly differentiates migration risk from default risk in the trading book for the first time in regulatory capital. FRTB also ties default risk methodologies to those used in the banking book. Trading books will find increased capital and volatility, particularly in securitization platforms, which will need to be carefully managed.
