Engagement Goal:
A bank hired Quaternion Quant Services to help with the renewal and re-approval of Counterparty Credit Models that were to be used for regulatory capital under the Basel III Internal Model Method. They also requested that this be extended across multiple regulatory regimes.
Project Description:
Quaternion was engaged as the lead consulting firm in a long-term program to renew and seek approval for a modern, cross asset class, post-crisis suite of CCR IMM models. The resulting models have been submitted and gained regulatory approval in multiple EU and non-EU regulatory regimes. The overall program of work involved research, development (including prototyping), documentation and submission assistance for a comprehensive suite of models. The work was done to the SR 11-7 standard mandated by the Federal Reserve bank. The regulatory submissions have been successful in multiple regulatory regimes.
