4 Risk Management 5

5 What is Risk Management Risk is a tool the goal is to optimize and understand risk o Too much risk is locally and systemically dangerous o Too little risk means the firm may be leaving profit on the table Portfolio exposure o Modern portfolios contain many different types of assets o Simple instruments, Complex instruments and derivatives Many types of risk measures o Defined scenario-based stress testing o Value at Risk (VaR) o Sensitivities Key is valuation under different scenarios VaR is used in banking regulations, margin calculations and risk management 6

6 Value at Risk (VaR) VaR is a statistical measure of risk expressed as amount of loss given probability %. E.g. 97.5% chance that the firm will not lose more than 1mill USD over the next 5 days Computing VaR is a challenging data sourcing and compute intensive process VaR calculation: o Generate statistical scenarios of market behavior o Revalue the portfolio for each scenario, compare returns to today s value o Sort results and select the desired percentage return: VALUE AT RISK Different VaR techniques: o Parametric analytic approximation o Historical captures real (historical) market dynamics o Monte Carlo many scenarios, depends on statistical distributions 7

7 VaR Graphically Source: An Introduction To Value at Risk (VAR), Investopedia, May

8 Complexities For modern financial firms, VaR is complex. Calculation requirements: o Different types of assets require different valuation models Risk-based approach Full revaluation o With large numbers of scenarios, many thousands of calculations are required o Monte Carlo simulations require significant calibration, depending on large historical data Many different reporting dimensions o VaR is not additive across dimensions. Product/asset class, Currency o Portfolio including what-if and intraday activity Intraday market changes requiring new simulations Incremental VaR how does a single (new) trade contribute to the total 9

16 Simulation Step - MapReduce MAP - Read-through portfolio data - Emit (K,V) as (Underlyer,InstrumentDetails) e.g. (IBM, IBM.CO.DEC14.225) IBM MSFT IBM.CO V 1 V 2 V 3 SIMULATION REDUCE - For the Underlyer, perform 10k random walks in parallel - For each random walk output, simulate derivative prices - Emit 10k sets of simulated prices of the stock and associated derivatives i.e. IBM, [V 1, V 2,..V ] IBM.CO.DEC14.225, [V 1, V 2,..V ] Job job = new Job(getConf()); job.setjobname("randomvaluationgenerator"); SecurityAttributes stockattrib = (SecurityAttributes) iter.next(); job.setmapperclass(securityattributemapper.class); simpricesstock = getsimpricesforstock(stockattrib); job.setreducerclass(pricesimulationsreducer.class); writereduceroutput(stockattrib, simpricesstock, context); public bsmp = void new BlackScholesMertonPricingOption(); map(longwritable key, Text value, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException while (iter.hasnext()) { { SecurityAttributes sa secattribs = RecordsReadHelper.readAttribs(value.toString()); = iter.next(); writereduceroutput(secattribs,getsimpricesforoptions( context.write(new Text(sa.getUnderlyer()), sa); } simpricesstock, bsmp, secattribs), context); } 17

17 Aggregation Step MapReduce HLV 1 ( A HLV i i = 2 1 ( A i V i ) 2 Aggregation MAP - Read-through de-normalized portfolio data - Emit (K,V) as (Hierarchy-level, Position Details) US, [IBM, 225, ] US Tech, [IBM, 400, ] US Tech Eric, [IBM, 400, ] REDUCE For the hierarchy level (e.g. US ERIC), perform A i V i for each simulation and get simulated portfolio values - HLV i Sort HLV i, find 1%, 5% and 10% values and emit position and VaR data Map<String, Double> portfoliopositiondata = combineinputforpfpositiondata(rows); Map<String, Double[]> simulatedprices= protected void map(longwritable key, HoldingWritable value, Context context) loadsimulatedprices(portfoliopositiondata.keyset()); throws java.io.ioexception,interruptedexception { for(long SecurityAttributes i=0; i<no_of_simulations-1; sa = RecordsReadHelper.readAttribs(value.toString()); i++) { Set<String> simulatedpfvalues.add(getpfsimulatedvalue(i, hierarchylevels = sa.gethierarchylevels(); portfoliopositiondata, for (String hierarchylevel simulatedprices)); : hierarchylevels) } { Collections.sort(simulatedPFValues); context.write(new Text(hierarchyLevel), new Text(sa.getPositionDtls())); emitresults(portfoliopositiondata, simulatedpfvalues); } 18

18 DEMO RUN 21

19 Observations As expected, processing time of Map jobs increased marginally when input data volume was increased Process was IO-bound on Simulation s Reduce job as intermediate data emitted was huge Data replication factor needs to be chosen carefully MapReduce jobs should be designed such that Map/Reduce output is not huge 22
