This course spans from introductory topics designed for delegates who are new to FRTB to diving deeper into the nuances of how FRTB will impact specific sectors and functionalities.
The final lesson addresses what remains to be adjudicated within the BCBS and national supervisors prior to implementation, as well as to address likely timelines for key milestones within specific jurisdictions. An additional session addresses changes that have occurred.
Course Objectives
- Define and establish banking and trading book boundaries for any given instrument or desk
- Understand the mechanics and nuances of implementing Standardized and Internal Models Approaches
- Walk through the capital impact of typical trade types and model portfolios Understand the new dynamics and challenges of defining, accessing, and utilizing market data in various jurisdictions and risk factors under FRTB
- Optimize capital impact from the P&L Attribution test
- Minimize the impact from Non-Modellable Risk Factors (NMRFs)–currently 30% of regulatory capital on average to levels which potentially bring capital requirements to lower levels than existing Basel 2.5
- Establish new governance frameworks for desk structures including more granular regulatory approval process, interaction between Head Trader and supervisor, and Regulatory Trading Desk (RTD) supervisory approval requirements
- Plan for specialized RTDs such as the Internal Risk Transfer (IRT) desk, new roles for the xVA desk, and the securitization desk
- Create solutions for capital cliffs and capital floors
- Budget, plan, and manage the FRTB implementation process in a manner most appropriate for your jurisdiction and bank position
- Describe how the granularity of risk sensitivities affects the relationship between non-modellable risk factors and the P&L Attribution test
- Explain why the Basel 2.0 framework for market risk failed in the 2007-2009 period and how FRTB seeks to improve the framework
