About Market Risk IMA Analytics
As key component of DART Market & Counterparty Credit Risk Analytics (MCRA), Market Risk teams are responsible for development, enhancement, and ongoing calibration of Market Risk models that are used in both day-to-day risk management and regulatory capital measurement. Market Risk models measure the downside risk due to the financial market prices and rates fluctuation, as well as the risk due to bond and equity issuer default. The scope covers major risk class including FX interest rate, credit, equity, commodity, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities.
