Assistant Manager Manager, Traded and Quantitative Risk CCR CVA

Connect to your Industry

Counterparty Credit Risk (“CCR”) and Credit Valuation Adjustment (“CVA”) Risk are major risk types for Financial Institutions, particularly within the Capital Markets divisions of banks and other financial institutions that trade derivatives, securities financing transactions and other counterparty-facing products. These risks sit at the intersection of front office, risk management, finance, model risk, collateral management and regulatory capital.

CCR and CVA capital can represent a material component of a bank’s prudential capital requirements, particularly for institutions with significant derivatives and securities financing activity. The drivers of CCR and CVA are complex, requiring a detailed understanding of traded products, counterparty exposure, collateralisation, netting, margining, wrong-way risk, exposure modelling, and the regulatory capital frameworks used to measure and manage these risks.

As we expand our Risk Advisory business to more holistically include all risk types, the focus on CCR and CVA continues to increase. With important regulatory developments including SA-CVA, SA-CCR, advancing IMM expectations and model risk management expectations for counterparty credit risk, client-driven demand to support banks and other financial institutions in these areas is creating an increasing need for these skills.
