Avantage Reply organises a one-day training course on "Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (“FRTB”), including Review of Key Market Risk Concepts".
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Committee”) noted that the financial crisis exposed material weaknesses in the overall design of the framework for capitalising trading activities. As an important response to the crisis, the Committee introduced a set of revisions to the market risk framework (part of the “Basel 2.5” package of reforms). At the time (2009), the Committee recognised that the Basel 2.5 revisions did not fully address the shortcomings of the framework. In response, the Committee has since initiated a fundamental review of the trading book regime.This one-day training course will review the proposals set out by the Committee, including a review of the key Market Risk metrics used within the existing and future Market Risk framework. This section will be covered by Prof. Georges Hübner.
