Duration
3 Days
This is an advanced three day course giving attendees broad and deep knowledge to understand, implement and manage XVA’s.
It starts from describing pricing under CSA and multicurve and then builds a modelling framework for implementing an efficient XVA platform. It describes CVA/DVA, Funding and Capital adjustments from modelling and regulatory aspects to accounting choices up to market best practice and cutting edge issues, with both detailed break down and global aggregation.
Sections are devoted to Initial Margin, Collateral Currency options and other adjustments and mitigations. It concludes describing hedging under both a strategic and an implementation point of view.
