Utilizing Best Practices in Data Management to Avoid Regulatory Headaches and Market Risk Losses

Data management has become a serious subject for both regulators and capital market firms as they strive to avoid another financial crisis and P&L losses. It is increasingly difficult for large firms to manage complex, multi-asset class datasets across numerous trading and risk systems while maintaining data integrity, completeness and timeliness. Organizations expect fewer people to work on more projects with tighter deadlines, while expectations for data quality remain very high.

Regulations make matters even more complex. Regulations such as the Basel Committee’s Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) help steer attention away from an over-reliance on Value at Risk (VaR) to focus risk management energies on worst case scenarios and tail risk measures such as Expected Shortfall, as well as trying to add an element of liquidity risk calculations into capital buffers. This suggests risk models’ sensitivities to outliers will become even greater, thereby placing more reliance on validating those outliers. Therefore, implementing a strategic data management plan is necessary to assist in the acquisition, validation, and correction of bad/wrong data so organizations can not only comply with regulations but thrive and prosper in the new regulatory climate.

On Wednesday, June 15th featured speakers Naj Alavi and Mark Woodgate of Xenomorph discussed how a robust data management framework can help improve risk management and regulatory compliance practices. Joined by Dr. Yonggang Hu of Numerix, they will present a working example illustrating the importance of proper data management to avoid future regulatory issues and P&L losses.

The presenters discussed:

  • Current data management practices and why they fall short
  • The regulatory landscape and what it means for all of us – short term pain for long term gain
  • Case study example with several derivative trades
  • The nirvana state of data management for risk
