The LDA requires the modeling of the aggregate loss distribution in each operational risk category (ORC), among others. The aggregate loss distribution is a compound distribution resulting from a random sum of losses, where the losses are distributed according to some severity distribution, and the number (of losses) is distributed according to some frequency distribution. In order to estimate the economic or regulatory capital in a particular ORC, an extreme quantile of the aggregate loss distribution has to be estimated from the fitted severity and frequency distributions. Since a closed-form expression for the quantiles of the resulting estimated compound distribution does not exist, the quantile is usually approximated using a brute force Monte Carlo simulation, which is computationally intensive. However, a number of numerical approximation techniques have been proposed to lessen the computational burden. Such techniques include Panjer recursion, the fast Fourier transform and different orders of both the single-loss approximation and perturbative approximation. The objective of this paper is to compare these methods in terms of their practical usefulness and potential applicability in an operational risk context. We find that the second-order perturbative approximation, a closed-form approximation, performs very well at the extreme quantiles and over a wide range of distributions, and it is very easy to implement. This approximation can then be used as an input to the recursive fast Fourier algorithm to gain further improvements at the less extreme quantiles.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2016-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86145191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A methodology is presented that makes use of the convolution operator to integrate scenarios into a baseline model. Using a baseline loss distribution model calibrated on historical losses and a scenario-derived loss distribution calibrated on scenario data points, the addition of both random processes equates to the convolution of the corresponding densities. Using an analogy from digital signal processing, the commutative property of convolution allows one function to smooth and average the other. The inherent uncertainty in scenario analysis has caused concern amongst practitioners when too much emphasis has been placed on absolutes in terms of quantified frequency/severity estimates. This method addresses this uncertainty and produces a combined loss distribution that takes information from the entire domain of the calibrated scenario distribution. The necessary theory is provided within and an example is shown to provide context.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2015-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76952795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the actor is usually socially inconspicuous, and since the associated financial damage does not necessarily have to be verifiable through classic valuation methods (e.g. financial statements), we feel that it is very difficult for banks and financial institutions to uncover such behavior. Nevertheless, in order to be able to react to this latent risk, we apply modern, basic criminological assumptions to analyse the relationship between the multiple causes of the risk and their effects in the underlying risk origination process. The analysis is performed based on Schneider's model, which is used to describe the criminal behavior of socially inconspicuous individuals. Based on the result of that analysis, we design a specific conceptual risk indicator that approximates the underlying risk exposure by means of a linear function. We then operate the developed risk indicators through a dashboard, tracking the development of each valid indicator value through time. The effectiveness of the measures taken to counteract the risk can be derived from the development of the displayed indicator value and the related trend.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"53 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2015-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72420150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, optimized risk management practices satisfy regulatory capital requirements and gain the confidence of investors who take calculated risks. A bank’s risk management division will generate a profit if it can develop methodologies to decrease the nonworking regulatory capital. This may be achieved only when the risks are measured using data from internal and external sources in conjunction with scenario analysis. One such method of measuring operational risk (OR) is the advanced measurement approach. This involves quantifying ORs across the various nodes within a bank following the loss distribution approach, in which the frequency and severity distributions of the loss-generating OR events are estimated from the data sources. These distributions are then used to generate the scenarios for frequency and its associated severity for estimating the OR capital. In our approach, the various levels of loss severity are mapped to a percentage of total trade exposure, and the occurrence frequency of an OR event is assumed to follow a binomial distribution.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2014-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91019063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As in other rogue trading cases, there were desperate attempts to cover up the losses until they became too big to ignore and eventually had to be recognized in the financial accounts of the bank. However, the whale case, so-called because of the sheer size of the trading positions involved, differs in several important respects from other rogue trading cases, not least because the sheer size and riskiness of the positions were well-known to many executives within JPMorgan, a firm that prided itself on having advanced risk management capabilities and systems. The role of Model Risk in this scandal, while not the primary cause, is important in that at least part of the impetus to take huge positions was due to incorrect risk modeling. Various external and internal inquiries into the events have concluded that critical risk management processes in the bank broke down, not only in the Chief Investment Office, the division in which the losses occurred, but across the bank. In particular, deficiencies in the firm’s Model Development and Approval processes allowed traders to trade while underestimating the risks that they were running. Under Basel II regulations, losses due to process failure are classified as operational risk losses and hence this case demonstrates a significant failure of operational risk management in JPMorgan. This paper dissects the whale scandal from an operational risk perspective using the late Professor Barry Turner’s framework for analyzing organizational disasters. The paper also makes suggestions as to how model risk may be managed to prevent similar losses in future.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2014-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74407194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we assume that, above the threshold, the extreme loss events are explained by an extreme value distribution. For that purpose, we apply the classical peaks-over-threshold method in extreme-value statistics. According to that approach, data in excess of a certain threshold is asymptotically described by a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). Consequently, establishing a mechanism to estimate this threshold is of major importance. The current methods to estimate the thresholds are based on a subjective inspection of mean excess plots or other statistical measures; the Hill estimator, for example, leads to an undesirable level of subjectivity. In this paper, we propose an innovative mechanism that increases the level of objectivity of threshold selection, departing from a subjective and imprecise eyeballing of charts. The proposed algorithm is based on the properties of the generalized Pareto distribution and considers the choice of threshold to be an important modeling decision that can have significant impact on the model outcomes. The algorithm we introduce here is based on the Hausman specification test to determine the threshold, which maintains proper specification so that the other parameters of the distribution can be estimated without compromising the balance between bias and variance. We apply the test to real risk data so that we can obtain a practical example of the improvements the process will bring. Results show that the Hausman test is a valid mechanism for estimating the GPD threshold and can be seen as a relevant enhancement in the objectivity of the entire process.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"35 1","pages":"23-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2014-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89028079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
