Credit Risk of OTC Derivatives:
Two days


Over the last 20-odd years, over-the-counter swaps and options have developed from a new product into a standard risk management tool. Yet despite derivatives' commonplace nature, establishing an effective risk management process remains a challenging undertaking. This two-day course provides hands-on spreadsheets with a simplified mathematical framework to illustrate the general theory for evaluating the risk of over-the-counter derivative transactions and focuses on the practical implementation issues for establishing an effective risk management process.
By completion of this course, the participants should be able to:
· Identify the drivers of credit risk in Interest Rate, Foreign Exchange and Equity OTC Derivatives
· Construct a framework for evaluating these risks
· Estimate Pre-Settlement Risk for Credit Limit purposes
· Contrast the risk calculation for Credit Limit purposes and Risk/Return purposes
· Describe risk mitigation benefits of Netting and Collateral and how to reflect them in your risk management process
· Discuss potential implementation issues and possible approaches to resolve them so that you can get from the theory of the framework to the reality of an effective risk management process
