Applied Counterparty Credit Risk Management
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lecturer:
Mario Schlener, MBA M.A., KBS Capital Partners AG, Baar, CH
Aim/subject of course:
- Students shall understand and be able to apply the learned tools in
real life examples from the financial industry and capital markets
- Students will learn a hands on understanding of real world examples of
how counterparty credit risk is managed and measured
- After this course students will have discussed the following main
points:
- How to calculate counterparty exposure for derivative portfolio
- How to calculate Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) and Debt
Valuation Adjustment (DVA)
- What is Funding Value Adjustment (FVA)
- How the Financial Industry manages and hedges counterparty credit
risk (i.e. difference between a Risk Management- and Trading-
Approach)
- How to define a hedging strategy for a sample portfolio to reduce
risk for a sample bank
- How to apply a multi-curve discounting approach compared to a
single curve discounting approach
- What is a CSA and ISDA contract and how are these contracts
negotiated and applied in a financial transaction
- What is a close out valuation
- How can a portfolio be hedged applying a standardized risk-off/VaR
analysis
- How does the regulation of a Central Counterparty change the
financial markets and the day-to-day business of trading activities
of financial institutions
In this course the students will learn how counterparty credit risk:
1. changed the financial markets
2. changed the way risk management departments of global financial
institutions manage risk and
3. how financial institutions measure and hedge counterparty credit
risk
Course methods and organisation:
Lectures will be organized around specific prepared presentation
material and a given set of relevant papers and further book chapters.
Students are not forced to read further papers or books to understand
the topics discussed in class. There will be class assignments and a
final exam for this course. Grading will be based on class
participation, assignments and final exam.
Date/time:
Thursday, 13.03.2014 - 26.06.2014, 16:30 - 18:45

To Whom it May Concern,
the talk of Mathieu Rosenbaum this Thursday is cancelled.
Mr. Rosenbaum will visit the funeral of the well known frech
