Market Risk Measurement, Global Risk Management is responsible for implementing models to quantify the risks in the Banks trading activities. The main risks considered are:
Market risk. The risk associated with the Bank losing money due to adverse market movements negatively affecting the values of derivatives and assets held in its trading books
Counterparty credit risk. The risk associated with the Bank losing money due to being owed by its counterparties on derivatives and the counterparty not honoring its obligations due to default or other credit events
These two categories share many features since they both require simulation of future possible values of our portfolios of derivatives and trading assets. It is a very complex problem to do this in way which maintains rigor when looking at any one component but also rolls up correctly so that the view of risk aggregated across all positions also makes sense.
