Model Risk Management

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

The group’s primary mandate is to manage risk that arises from models used in the firm through its range of businesses– from models used for derivatives valuation to models used for risk management, liquidity and capital computations. In addition to independently reviewing these classes of models for their validity, theoretical consistency and implementation accuracy, the group is also responsible to assess the risk associated with model choice, e.g., exposure to choice of model in various contexts such as pricing exotic options or in calculating capital. As AI adoption increases across the firm, the MRM group plays a critical role in ensuring that innovative AI capabilities are deployed safely.
