The heated debate around the legitimacy of Funding Value Adjustment (FVA), has simmered and FVA charges from funding desks have become a reality. Quantitative practitioners are now tasked with the incorporation of FVA into their derivative valuations – but developing and implementing an accurate FVA framework can present significant theoretical and practical challenges.

This On-Demand Master Class Video Seminar Series features two video presentations helping practitioners to get up to speed on the fundamentals of FVA theory and dynamics, gain insight on the Numerix proposed approach to FVA for general instruments and explore the relationship between OIS & FVA as well as put the two into context of the larger  ecosystem of valuation adjustments. The videos can be watched at your convenience as individual presentations or at once as a half-day seminar.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION - FVA for General Instruments

Approximately 100 minutes
