About the Programme

Our client’s Credit Risk Engine group oversees the development and maintenance of the PRISM OTC system, which is responsible for generating Counterparty Credit Risk measures. System’s Monte Carlo pricing library produces forward market-to-market valuations on the bank’s OTC trade population, aggregating the results to netting-set level into different risk measures.

The PRISM OTC consists of three pricing libraries, with the first one, written in C++, being responsible for supporting the full simulation for certain trade types that are covered by an Internal Model Method waiver agreement. The second pricing library, written in Java, supports more lightweight alternative pricing approach for the remaining trading population. Last but not least, the third library, which is also written in Java, is responsible for aggregating trade-level pricing outputs into various risk measures. The coordination between libraries and other elements of the daily overnight batches is managed by the Autosys system.

The client is in the process of launching a business-critical project including the development of collateral default models, as current models do not have any default exposure. The project will involve the implementation of the collateral default models into the bank’s Credit Risk system, accounting both for the collateral defaults and for all of the regulations imposed by the governing bodies. The consultant will be working on the risk and capital management transformation, focusing on the innovative technologies, and always striving to meet the business objectives.
