4 Disclaimer iruiz Technologies Ltd company was founded as a niche technology company in 2014 with the aim of performing research and development on algorithmic solutions to the computational challenges that the financial industries are facing. Intellectual Property in Banks Intellectual Property (IP) protection in the financial services industry context is becoming increasingly common. For example, the US Patents and Trademark Office is currently receiving around 1,000 finance-related patent applications every year. As an example, the patent application of the well-known Standard Initial Margin Model (SIMM) by ISDA. IP The basis of the willingness to share this research is founded on the protection offered by the worldwide IP framework. The methods described in this presentation for risk calculations have their IP protected by a number of patents*. Scope of IP protection: The first part of this presentation explains mathematical theory. Mathematical theories cannot be patented, hence they are not the subject of the IP protection In the second part of this paper, we explain an application of the theory in the context of Risk Calculation Engines; it is this application that is the subject to the abovementioned IP protection The application is called MoCaX Intelligence Similarly to SIMM This method is available to any institution to implement subject to patent licensing* (*) Patents pending approval (**) Source: EnvisionIP 4
5 Paper This presentation is a summary of the paper Chebyshev Methods for Ultra-efficient Risk Calculations Available at mocaxintelligence.com/research 5
6 Independent Validation The same methods has been independently described, applied and tested to risk calculations by the Technical University of Munich 6
7 Chebyshev techniques in Risk Calculations 1. Polynomial interpolations have an undeserved bad reputation It all depends how you use them 2. Chebyshev methods offer outstanding techniques to replicate pricing functions Full-reval precision Ultra-low CPU load Generic implementation 3. This creates enormous benefits in Risk Calculations 7
8 Chebyshev techniques 101 8
9 Polynomial Interpolation has a pretty bad reputation The following quotes, that can be found in the Numerical Analysis textbooks, are misleading Polynomial interpolants rarely converge to an general continuous function. Polynomial interpolation is a bad idea (1989) By their very nature, polynomials of a very high degree do not constitute reasonable models for a real-life phenomena! (2004) The oscillatory nature of high-degree polynomials, and the property that a fluctuation over a small proportion of the interval can induce large fluctuations over the entire range, restricts their use (2005) These untrue type of assertions have misled us for many years 9
10 These ideas have been encouraged by a few misleading results Example Runge s phenomena A famous example was given by Runge in He showed that equidistant interpolation not only diverges for the function x 2 but it diverges exponentially. A result by Faber in 1914 for the class of continuous functions there is no polynomial interpolation scheme that will ensure convergence Source of graph and comments: Wikipedia 10
11 However Lipschitz continuous As soon as we restrict the functional space to Lipschitz continuous functions, we can have guaranteed convergence of polynomial interpolations Analytic functions As soon as we restrict ourselves to analytic functions, polynomial interpolations can be exponentially convergent, as we will see next, if the interpolation scheme is the right one. Continuous Functions Lipschitz Continuous Functions Analytical Functions Taylor Expansions Trigonometric Logarithmic Exponential Derivative Pricers In practical risk calculation, pricing functions are either analytic, or piecewise analytic in known segments (that is why we use Taylorbased Greeks) Derivative Pricers 11
12 Intuition of the Chebyshev framework If we know nothing of a function and want to create a generic interpolator, what makes sense as an interpolation geometry in R? Equidistant points Concentrate the points where curvature is high What if we Extend the function in the complex C plane Get equidistant points in the unitary circle Go back to the real line R I +i 7 equidistant points in the unitary circle in C Their projection in R R 12
13 Given a function f, let s consider these mathematical objects Chebyshev Expansion projection of f onto the space generated by the Chebyshev basis functions Chebyshev Polynomials T 0 x = 1; T 1 x = x T j+1 = 2xT j T j 1 f x = k=0 a k T k x a k = 2 1 π න f x T k x 1 1 x dx 2 Truncated Chebyshev Expansion projection of f onto the space generated by first n Chebyshev polynomials f n x = k=0 Chebyshev Interpolant interpolant polynomial of f on Chebyshev points p n x = n n k=0 a k T k x c k T k x x j = cos j Τ Chebyshev Points π n, 0 j n. 13
14 Theorem 1. Convergence of Chebyshev Series Let f be a Lipschitz continuous function on [ 1, 1]. Then it has a unique representation as a Chebyshev series, which is absolutely and uniformly convergent. Proof: J. Mason, D. Handscomb. Chebyshev Polynomials. CRC, That is given ε > 0 there is a natural number N so that if n > N, f f n ε 14
15 Theorem 2. Chebyshev Interpolant Let f be a continuous function on [-1,1] Let {x 0,..., x n } be the first n+1 Chebyshev points on [-1,1] Let {v 0,..., v n } be the values of f on {x 0,..., x n } p n x = By applying the Fast Fourier Transform on {v 0,..., v n }, one can obtain an expression for the Chebyshev Interpolant to f in O(nlogn) operations. Moreover, if f is Lipschitz continuous, then the Chebyshev Interpolant converges to f at the same rate as the Chebyshev series. n k=0 c k T k x Proof: N. Ahmed and P. S. Fisher, Study of algorithmic properties of Chebyshev coefficients, Int. J. Computer Math. 2 (1970),
16 Theorem 3. Convergence rate + Extension to any dimension Let f be an analytic function on a compact domain in R D. Suppose it has a bounded analytic continuation to a Bernstein ellipse in C D. Then the Chebyshev interpolant of degree n converges exponentially to the function f as n tends to infinity. That is f p n o(ρ n ) Proof: S. Bernstein (1912c), Sur l Ordre de la Meilleure Approximation des Fonctions Continues par des Polynomes de Degré Donné, Mém. Acad. Roy. Belg., 1912 M. Gaß, K. Glau, M. Mahlstedt, M. Mair. Chebyshev Interpolation for Parametric Option Pricing. Preprint. Equation in 1-D. f(x) M. ρ: Bernstein ellipse foci 16
17 Example: Runge Function Runge function and its interpolator, with 15 points, via 1. Interpolator, Equidistant points (blue line) 2. Interpolator, moving the Equidistant points towards Chebyshev points (orange line) 3. Interpolator, moving the Equidistant points towards Chebyshev points (yellow line) 4. Interpolator, moving the Equidistant points towards Chebyshev points (maroon line) 5. Interpolator, Chebyshev points (green line) 6. Actual Runge function (under the green line) We can appreciate how the interpolating function converges towards the Runge function as we move the interpolating Equidistant points towards the Chebyshev points 17
18 Theorem 4. Control of error Let f be Lipschitz continuous on [-1,1], let f n be its truncated Chebyshev series, let p n be its Chebyshev interpolant and let a k and c k be the Chebyshev coefficients of f n and p n, respectively. Then c 0 = a 0 + a 2n + a 4n +, c k = a k + (a k+2n + a k+4n + ) + (a k+2n + a k+4n + ) c n = a n + a 3n + a 5n +, We can control the error of the approximation without knowing anything about the function, apart from the fact that it is Lipschitz continuous Proof: C.W. Clenshaw and A.R. Curtis, A method for numerical integration on an automatic computer, Numer. Math. 2 (1960),

20 Summary so far 1. Polynomial interpolation has an unfair bad reputation 2. If we interpolate on Chebyshev points, we obtain exponential convergence and we can control the (very small) error 3. This can be extended to any dimension What if we apply this to the Pricing Function in a Risk Calculation? We should be able to Replicate the pricing function with very few points With very high accuracy Super-efficient evaluation Controlling the error 20
21 Applying Chebyshev to Pricing Functions 21
22 Context Generic Risk Calculation Engine The bottleneck of the risk calculation: 80-99% of total computational time Input Collection MC preparation Standard approach Original Pricer 1 Scenario Generation Pricing Special Modelling Collateral, WWR Risk Metrics VaR, ESF, XVAs, PFE 1 2 Fast approach Ultra-accurate Chebyshev The trick is to use the right interpolation scheme Output Incorporation Build mocax objects Evaluate original pricer Evaluate mocax objects 22
23 What makes this approach work? In this approach Evaluating the Interpolator is ultra-fast So, the trick is to Call the pricing function as little as possible in the Building phase, while ensuring very high accuracy in the interpolation scheme 23

29 XVA sensitivities Most of the CPU effort with this technique is in the Building Phase Once the Interpolating Object is built, we can reuse it as often as needed Each evaluation in the MC takes a few nano-seconds Pricing Method MC scens Building step effort Evaluation effort Total effort CPU Gain Full-reval 1,000 n/a 10h:54m 10h:54m n/a Full-reval 10,000 n/a 4d:12h:58m 4d:12h:58m n/a Full-reval 100,000 n/a 45d:10h:05m 45d:10h:05m n/a MoCaX 1,000 0h:53m 70 msec 0h:53m:00s 8% MoCaX 10,000 0h:53m 700 msec 0h:53m:01s 0.8% MoCaX 100,000 0h:53m 7,000 msec 0h:53m:07s 0.08% % CPU effort We can compute sensitivities of exotics via Bump-and-reval very easily 29

34 Machine Learning Optimising MVA With Chebyshev risk calculations are so fast that we can use a complex risk computation as the Objective Function in a Machine Learning algorithm E.g. MVA optimisation Once MVA can be calculated correctly and efficiently, the next natural step is to seek strategies to minimise it We consider a strategy similar to the one proposed in the work of A. Kondratyev and G. Giorgidze ([KG]) Optimised portfolio Cpty A Existing portfolio Swap 1 Swap 2 Cpty B Swap i Swap N Swap payer Swap receiver Cpty C Cpty D What are the notional, maturity and counterparties of 2 offsetting swaps that would minimise our MVA when added to the portfolio? 34
35 IMA-FRTB Correlation between FO pricer and MoCaX pricer The problem IMA-FRTB requires several thousand revaluations daily and we need to pass the P&L Attribution Test (PLAT) Technologies: Full-reval, extremely expensive Greeks, do not pass PLAT for non-linear products Solution: Dimensionality Reduction* + MoCaX IMA-FRTB capital charge (full calculation) Tested portfolio: Swaps, Swaptions and Bermudan Swaptions 841 Risk factors as inputs Ultra-accurate pricing with 1-5 % of CPU load Important hardware cost reduction Passing P&L Attribution tests Industrialised implementation (*) Dimensionality Reduction via PCA + Orthogonal Sliding. Study to be published soon. 35
36 Pricer Cloning MoCaX enables creating a replica of a pricing function (e.g. Front Office) in a Risk System 36
37 PPC: portfolio pricing compression Further acceleration can be created as a result of the properties of Chebyshev series and interpolants The Chebyshev coefficients are additive Trade 1 Trade 2 P 1 x = P 2 x = n k=0 n k=0 c k 1 T k x c k 2 T k x n P x = k=0 Portfolio c k 1 + c k c k 5000 T k x Trade 5,000 P 5000 x = n k=0 c k 5000 T k x If we have a portfolio of 5,000 trades on the same underlying This property enables a 5,000 times multiplier in evaluation effort 37
38 AAD Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation is an excellent methodology Key problem Implementation is far from trivial We need to build the Adjoint version of each pricer High implementation cost, High maintenance cost, High project risk Alternative We can build the Adjoint of its Chebyshev version P x = Much easier to implement, all pricers share the same Adjoint code We have not tested it yet n k=0 c k T k x P x = Interested to collaborate with us?
