MoCaX Intelligence Tutorial Library
Both through regulation and industry practice, there is an increasing number of risk calculations that need to be done on a regular basis. These calculations require the valuation of portfolios on up to hundredths of thousands of scenarios making them computationally very expensive in time and cost.
MoCaX technology, based on Chebyshev Spectral Decomposition methods, is a methodology and software application which massively reduces the computational burden in a risk calculation. This is achieved by pricing the portfolio on very small number of pre-defined collection of points yielding an object capable of approximating a pricing function and its greeks to a very high degree of accuracy. The object can then be evaluated on thousands of risk scenarios in an ultra-efficient and numerically stable manner.
Several benefits are obtained with this technology. Applications include Market Risk VaR, IMA-FRTB, Dynamic Initial Margin for MVA and IMM, Exposure profiles for CVA and IMM, what-if analysis tools, etc.
