Panel discussion:
After a period of rapid innovation in risk modelling driven by the twin pressures of XVA and regulatory change, we now live in a new environment where large scale simulation (for XVA and Capital), more advanced cross-asset class models (e.g. stochastic vol and basis), AAD (fast Greeks), GPU acceleration and Dynamic Initial Margin have emerged to become the norm rather than the exception . At the same time, regulatory pressure (e.g. SA-CCR, FRTB and the proposed implementation of a floor linked to the standard capital requirements) seems to be pointing in the direction of more standardised add-on based approaches. What does the future hold for risk modelling and where will we see innovation or standardisation?
