XVA has been of great interest—and of equally great concern—to OTC derivatives market participants in recent years due to increasing awareness of the heavy costs, capital requirements, as well as the implementation and management challenges involved. Participants are particularly nervous about the sheer number of valuation adjustments that threaten to impact the profitability and viability of their derivatives businesses. Additionally, practices in trading, risk management, accounting and regulation of OTC derivatives continue to evolve in response to what seems like an ever-changing environment.
