The new Initial Margin rules require the posting of initial margin for new OTC derivatives trades in every bilateral trading relationship. The funding of this initial margin comes at a cost, and MVA is the expected cost of funding initial margin all the way to the maturity of the longest trade in the netting set.
In a recent market survey from triCalculate and Risk.net on the state of the XVA space, market participants shared how they are grappling with the conceptual and practical challenges of MVA, which XVAs are most important now, and how cloud-based solutions could be beneficial for XVAs.
To remain competitive and minimize risk, the front office needs tools be able to measure OTC derivatives trading costs and make consistent pricing and valuation decisions.
Michael Modlock, Head of Sales and Relationship Management triReduce, spoke with FTF about the launch of triBalance and its selection as the Best New Post-Trade Solution in the in the FTF News Technology Innovation awards.
triCalculate’s sophisticated Probability Matrix Method uses common transition probability matrices for generating scenarios and pricing netting sets, allowing for consistent simulation and pricing models when computing and hedging XVAs.
But what’s the issue with alternate methods?
Traditional XVA systems separate the tasks of generating market factor paths and pricing netting set values, ultimately leading to XVA inaccuracies and mismatched hedging strategies.
In this whitepaper, we investigate the errors produced when inconsistent models for simulating risk factors and pricing netting set values are used.
Despite the buzz about the cloud, why is there still apprehension?

Today’s OTC derivative trades no longer rely on a market quote but include CVA, DVA and FVA in the pricing calculation. This means that the counterparty’s creditworthiness, your cost of funding and your collateral agreements all contribute adjustments to the final price of a trade.
Error-strewn, duplicated and inconsistent – reporting of over-the-counter derivatives contracts data to trade repositories was supposed to lead to transparency and maintain global financial stability. As Jenny Nilsson, product marketing executive at triResolve, the portfolio reconciliation and reporting validation service from TriOptima, explains, that goal seems a long way off. The industry must proactively reconcile data with its counterparties and work together to ensure data accuracy.
triCalculate can help assess the cost of entering into a collateral agreement which will directly affect the pricing of an OTC derivative. As new margin rules are implemented in the US (September 2016) and Europe (Spring 2017), triCalculate can assist in the transition to a new or upgraded collateral relationship.
Recognising the importance of accuracy in public reporting, triCalculate now incorporates a mathematically sound and easy to produce methodology that splits the CVA of a netting set into a value for each of the underlying trades to accommodate new balance sheet reporting requirements.
In a bid to increase transparency and facilitate regulatory oversight of the OTC derivative market, the introduction of mandatory reporting and data repositories is well intentioned. However, despite a huge effort from the industry to report their trade data, challenges persist.
There are many opinions in the industry when it comes to calculating wrong way risk (WWR).

Post-crisis regulations mandate the use of risk mitigation activities like portfolio compression, portfolio reconciliation, trade reporting, central clearing, and margin management to bring stability and transparency to the OTC derivative markets. Mireille Dyrberg, COO of TriOptima and Peter Weibel, CEO of TriOptima’s triReduce service discuss their firm’s network solution approach to solving the challenges of efficient and effective risk mitigation.
For the past several years, derivatives conferences have been all about regulation. But as Dodd-Frank, MiFID II and other global regulations move through the rulemaking phase to implementation and beyond, the focus has shifted from regulation to innovation.
Innovation, creativity and adaptability have characterised the over-the-counter derivatives industry since the first interest rate swap was executed between IBM and the World Bank in 1981. As the market for OTC derivatives grew, the need for better post-trade management also emerged, and TriOptima’s multilateral early termination service, triReduce was an early leader in addressing that need.
