productivity, scalability, robustness - next generation coding with matlab

alexander diethert, application engineering manager, mathworks

you see financial models as an integral part of your daily work. you constantly evaluate numeric results, derive critical business decisions, or predict economic scenarios that are the basis of critical business decisions.  although your set-up is good enough to deliver the required results, you feel it has reached a certain limit preventing you from taking your applications to the next level. you do appreciate the value of modern programming concepts, but your day job keeps you too busy to invest the necessary time. this talk is for you.

mathworks has invested significantly to make coding easy for financial experts. this presentation will give you a tour around the relevant recent developments. the goal is to inspire you to get started with the next generation of your applications, that your effort will be lower than you expect, and that the pay-off easily outweighs your investment.

delivering the fundamental review of the trading book (frtb) internal model: main benefits and challenges

luca lamorte, risk manager, market and financial risk management, intesa sanpaolo

the financial industry is preparing the transition to the new regulation for market risk capital (frtb), upcoming in 2025. in this context we are able to make a brief summary of the main benefits and challenges that a bank must face in order to capitalize its trading desks according to the frtb internal model approach (ima). in particular the validation tests at individual desks level required by the frtb are very challenging, which makes much more complicated the application of the ima to the entire perimeter of the trading book. we analyze these cases in detail, showing where matlab can be of great use in performing analyses and benchmarkings of the new legislation.

luca lamorte is an expert risk manager for intesa sanpaolo ima market risk office, in particular the calculation of market risk weighted asset for the internal model. he has over 7 years of experience with intesa sanpaolo, with a part in the market data unit and last years in implementation and calculation of market risk measures (var, stressed var, irc). he is a functional referent for frtb project in intesa sanpaolo working on the develop of methodology and implementation of frtb features (expected shortfall, imcc, default risk charge, profit&loss attribution).

evaluating climate risk in liquid investment strategies

maria palazzi-nieves, analyst, mj hudson

the current climate emergency has led companies and governments to take action to help mitigate this crisis and to transition toward a low-carbon economy. financial institutions are not exempt from taking part in such a transition, as they are increasingly pushed to assess their exposure to climate risk and to consider sustainability objectives in their investment strategies.

building on sbti methodology and employing a varied set of matlab toolboxes, in this talk we introduce our carbon screening and temperature scoring tool, developed to evaluate internal security for liquid investment portfolios. the tool allows institutions to evaluate their alignment with current ghg emissions reduction and temperature goals, which can potentially influence their investment decisions.

modeling the impact of climate risks on mortgages

yannis ben ouaghrem, application engineer, mathworks

regulators, customers, investors, and other stakeholders are driving financial institutions to do their part to transition to a low-carbon economy and manage exposure to climate-related risks. central banks are conducting climate stress test exercises. they are using new data sources and developing new types of models, often leveraging methods from other scientific and engineering fields. practitioners need software that provides a broad range of modeling functionality, flexible interfaces, rich visualization capabilities, collaboration, and review features to keep up with the pace of change in this area.

learn how matlab can get you started modeling both physical and transition climate risks. in a live demonstration, you will learn how to:

• visualize flooding and subsidence risk within a city (physical risk).
• understand the impact of remediation costs or policies aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of buildings (transition risk).
• model the impact of these on the credit risk exposure in a portfolio of mortgages.
