Kurs informasjon: IBM Algorithmics Foundations to RiskWatch

RiskWatch™ is the core analytical engine within the Algo Market Analytics product, providing a complete set of methodologies to measure, monitor, simulate, and restructure risk. This two-day course is intended to provide participants with an overview of RiskWatch functionality, and hands-on experience with various methods of setting up and analyzing portfolios.

The participant will be able to:

• Build financial instruments with the associated models and risk factor 'curves'
• Assemble portfolios of financial instruments
• Build a portfolio hierarchy
• Model a spread curve
• Understand the procedures for modeling financial instruments with currency exposure
• Build Scenarios and Scenario Sets in RiskWatch
• Use Scenario Sets as a basis for stressing portfolios to generate Mark-to-Future (MtF) portfolio valuations across time.
• Set up the Stress Room with required attributes, including the use of simulation functions
• Calculate Value-at-Risk (VaR) in RiskWatch using the Monte Carlo and or Historical simulation methods
• Aggregate portfolios by various single and multiple attributes
• Build risk management reports on the portfolio
