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.

With the introduction of the new Basel Minimum Capital Requirement on Market Risk, also known as FRTB (Fundamental Review of the Trading Book), Market Risk IMA Analytics team took on the effort to develop the next generation of market risk models (sometimes referred as “FRTB models”) which include the use of front office pricing models to measure market risk. These efforts require higher quality historical data for model calibration and more frequent update into the model.

In addition to model development, the team also work closely with Market Risk Mangers to set consistent standards for measuring market risk exposure across the firm, which is specified in Citi Market Risk Exposure Specification – a document that is maintained by Market Risk Analytics.
