2 Pricing and Trading CVA London November 2012 About the course To address on-going financial challenges, many firms are now looking to review the methods used to manage counterparty credit risk (CCR). During the financial crisis, institutions with the most experience in CVA trading showed a significantly better share price performance than other firms, proving that CVA is of paramount importance to financial institutions that operate a lucrative derivative sales unit. CVA strategies have also been developed by major traders for the purposes of risk management and profitability through CVA pricing and hedging activities carried out by CVA trading desks. This course is essential for institutions that are keen to improve their knowledge in this key area and those who are ambitious to establish or improve their own CVA analytics and trading function. The course is also suitable for individuals from major CVA traders who require education on the fundamentals of the active management of counterparty risk. The two day agenda will provide detailed information on CVA modelling techniques and applicable hedging strategies by dedicating the first day to tutor-led training on these concepts. The following day will offer insightful and experienced views on the crucial decisions that need to be taken before establishing or growing a CVA desk within an institution. Learning outcomes Explore the legal framework impacting CVA: Basel III, CRD4, Dodd-Frank Understand wrong way risk CVA, DVA and funding explained Tackle CVA vs. CCR implementation requirements and challenges Practical examples of netting, aggregating and adding EPE profiles Who should attend? This course will be extremely valuable for practitioners who are involved in developing a new CVA function, and those at the early stages of using CVA within a bank.
