Financial Modeling and Validation
The markets today offer opportunities unavailable twenty or even ten years ago.
New products in interest rate and energy markets offer firms sophisticated
techniques to manage potential financial exposures in their core business.
The underlying theory of financial returns implies that there are quantifiable risks
in any financial decision. Many products have a contingent claims structure that is complex, and
may ensure that pricing, hedging, and reporting their risks is challenging for clients.
There is an obligation to the community for firms to actively understand,
quantify, and manage their risk. There is also a need to comply with existing government regulations and
to ensure that traders and risk managers work together to moderate the negative exposures
of open positions.

- products and markets,
