Summary

  • Implementation of additional Taylor measures : Many of the VaR and similar measures that are available in the VaR-ES cube are now available in the Sensitivities Cube. These measures are derived from PnL vectors created with a Taylor expansion of sensitivities and market data.
    • For each combination of sensitivity - Cash, Correlation, CrossGamma, Delta, Gamma, Vanna, Vega, and Aggregate - and measure type - Expected Shortfall (ES), Expected Tail Gain (ETG), Value at Earnings (VaE), Value at Risk (VaR), Weighted Value at Earnings (WVaE), Weighted Value at Risk (WVaR) - the following measures are available:
      • Basic measure
      • Measure from the previous day
      • Day-to-day difference of the measure
      • Day-to-day difference of the measure expressed as a percentage
      • LEstimated version of the measure
    • For each of these measures, there is a version for which the confidence is controlled with a context value. There are also versions that use a fixed confidence. These fixed confidences are set by the confidence.levels application property.
    • The Sensitivies Cube now also has a Tail VaR measure (VaR with 100% confidence) and a Tail VaE measure (VaE with 100% confidence).
  • Removal of IGreekDescription interface: Removed IGreekDescription interface and replaced it with source- and hierarchy-specific configuration.

Summary

  • New accelerator architecture: The structure of the MR Accelerator has been updated to enable greater flexibility and ease of use. New modules have been created encapsulating different calculation models, such as VaR, or PnL. These modules can be used as standalone libraries or the Accelerator can still be used as a cohesive customizable project. For an overview of the modules, see Maven modules. For details on the class changes, see Classes.
  • Schema selection customization: Individual store selections can be overwritten via Spring beans without needing to rewrite all store selections.
  • Accelerator name changed from ‘MRA’ to ‘MR’: The application is now called ‘MR’ (Market Risk) instead of ‘MRA’ (Market Risk Accelerator) to be aligned with the naming convention of the other ActiveViam accelerators.
  • MRACombinedCube renamed to MRCombinedCube To be in line with the change if name of the application, the combined cube has been renamed.
  • Bookmarks updated to reflect the use of ‘MR’ instead of ‘MRA’: The ‘MRA’ folder and the ‘MRA’ server name have been replaced with ‘MR’ in the bookmarks.
  • Accelerator-sdk: Upgrade to 5.0.10.

Summary

  • Market Data Cube: The Market Data Cube has been added to display the market data, market shift values, and FX rate. Unlike the Sensitivities Cube that needs to have a risk factor associated to a sensitivity, the facts are directly linked to the risk factors.
  • Removed Spring profiles : Replaced the custom Spring profiles used to control application modes with properties in the application.yaml file.
  • Moved cube toggling properties : Moved the cube toggling properties from the mr.properties file to the application.yaml file and renamed them.
  • Removed DayToDayDifference, PnLStart and PnLEnd context values : Replaced with analysis hierarchies.
  • Added Spring extension points for source and measure configurations: Added the option of configuring the CSV sources and also the measure chains through Spring Beans.
  • Improved package structure for source and measure configurations: Cleaned up the packages and classes containing the source and measure configurations.
  • Added Spring Conditions classes for @Configuration and @Bean : Added extensions of Spring Conditions classes for enabling and disabling @Configuration and @Bean instantiation based on application.yaml properties.
  • Handle multiple hierarchies and level depths higher than 1 for sign-off scopes : Until version 3.1.0, the scope of a Sign-off task could only be defined for the first level of one hierarchy. Now the scope definition can contain multiple hierarchies, and within each hierarchy, a level at a depth that can be higher than 1.

    note

    The hierarchies and levels that can be used in the scopes of the Sign-off task must be part of the ones defined in configuration properties. See details in signoff.properties.

  • Possibility to define Sign-off DEE export templates by cube-measure pairs: On top of being defined by cube names, DEE templates used for Sign-off export can now be defined by cube name and measures.
  • Upgraded to ActivePivot 5.10.10 and ActiveUI 5.0.14
  • File Upload: Create or append a WhatIf scenario by uploading CSV files into the cube. For more information, see File Upload.
  • Limit monitoring : Support has been added for Limits Module integration.

Summary

  • Summary Cubes : Cube import spring profile is replaced by a set of summary cubes that can be started along with the standard cubes.
  • Level path on tenor value adjustment input : Added a level path to the vectorised sensitivity tenor value adjustment input.
  • JUnit 5: All tests use JUnit5 and tests with the same Spring setup are grouped in test suites for faster spin-up.
  • Harrell-Davis VaR/VaR-ES cube : Harrell-Davis VaR is available on VaR-ES cube with incremental and L estimators.
  • DEE Template Orders : Added data extraction template orders to DEETemplateOrders directory
  • Upgrade to Sign-off API 1.5.0 : Upgraded the Sign-off API to version 1.5.0.
  • New dependency - adjustments-services module : The MRA has a dependency on the new module adjustments-services which contains the DTOs and services for handling supported types of what-if operations and a DTO for sending the what-if operation request.

Known issues

  • Updated 2022-09-12: PIVOT-5759 - Attempting to create partitions for reference stores causes a deadlock. You can find a walkthrough of the workaround here.
  • Update 2022-06-07: We’ve identified a bug in the Frequent Value Compression ActivePivot feature (new since AP 5.10). MRA 3.0.0 depends on ActivePivot 5.10.6 and is therefore impacted. We strongly recommend disabling Frequent Value Compression by setting the following property when launching ActivePivot: -Dactiveviam.chunk.compression.enabledFrequentValue=0. The next maintenance release of MRA will include an upgrade to ActivePivot, which resolves this issue.

Test suites

Two tests suites have been created : ScalarProfileTestSuite and StandardProfileTestSuiteto avoid the spin-up delay at the start of each test.

To prevent test run duplication, the tests that are part of a test suite are renamed as *SubTest. They are excluded from the surefire perimeter and instead included in *TestSuite.java.

A suite selects its own subtest by using the JUnit5 tagging feature (@Tag) and the *SubTest class name pattern.

The subtests can still be executed in a standalone mode.

Scalar profile Standard profile
Suite ScalarProfileTestSuite StandardProfileTestSuite
Expected Spring profile SP_PROFILE__SCALAR_SENSI SP_PROFILE__STANDARD
Filtering Tag Scalar Standard

DEETemplateOrders

Data extraction can now be performed with templates that describe the query, the extracted fields and the output file format. These templates are also used as the backbone for the sign-off data export phase which uses the templates after programmatically enriching them.

The DEETemplateOrder folder contains:

  • A set of templates specifically designed for the export of data intended to be re-imported into the summary cubes.
  • Sample templates you can use to build your own for direct extraction or sign-off.

For details, see Using DEE Template Orders

Summary

note

MRA 2.0.0 uses ActivePivot 5.9, which requires Java 11. We therefore no longer support Java 8. Projects running on Java 8 must upgrade to Java 11.

  • Usage of the common library : The common features used by all Accelerators are located in the ‘com.activeviam.apps/shared*.jar’ library. Several classes have been moved to this library. As a consequence a lot of imports have changed from ‘com.activeviam.risk’ to ‘com.activeviam.accelerator.common’.
  • Upgrade to AP5.9 : The Accelerator now uses Active Pivot 5.9.x, which also means that only Java 11 is supported.
  • Adjustments 2.0 : Integration of the interfaces allowing the interaction with the sign-off module.
  • Datastore Helper 2.0 : The Datastore Helper tool for defining and customizing the datastore schema has been upgraded to version 2.0.
  • JUnit 5 : Most of the tests now use JUnit 5.
  • Data Connectors : The DEE feature is now integrated into an import/export toolbox library called “Data Connectors” prefixed with ‘com.activeviam.io’.
  • Corporate Actions : The dividends, coupons, stock splits or merge are now taken in account for PnL calculations.
  • Correlation : The correlation metric is handled. Its market data name is ‘RiskFactor 1/RiskFactor 2’.
  • Cross-Gamma : The cross-gamma metric is handled; it is the gamma between two risk factors, without bucketing.
  • Spring configuration : The Spring configuration templates for cube and datastore definition are in common with FRTB.

MRA-775 The change effect on the VaR is displayed on the FX risk class and on the corresponding FX risk factor.
MRA-804 The PnL explain API now allows computations to be performed on market data before and after the interpolation of market data is performed on each axis (tenors, maturities, moneyness). Those computations are based on the value of the market data to process and on the value of the member on the current axis (tenors, maturities, moneyness).
MRA-772 Sensitivity ladders are now accepted as input for PnL Explain and Taylor VaR calculations. The sensitivity input file now contains fields for first-order and second-order ladders. An extra configuration input file is required to define the scale of the ladders used in the sensitivity input file. Configuration options have been added to control the behavior per sensitivity type, with options to: - use the ladder input if available or default to the standard sensitivity. - use the ladder input exclusively (with null input if no ladders are provided). - use the sensitivity input exclusively.

MRA-673 When sensitivity is not aligned with the market pillars, a linear interpolation is now applied on market data in order to fit the tenor/maturity/moneyness of the sensitivity. This feature is available on Scalar configuration.
MRA-662 Use an EmptyCalculator for the sensitivities domain field to allow easier customisation of sensitivities base store.
MRA-621 If a percentile of ‘0’ is set for the VaR or ES computations, the best scenario is now returned. Previously the 0 percentile was considered as a non-valid input and the computations were done with the default confidence level instead.
MRA-614 By default, the length of the PnL vector is used for the length of the regression in the Component VaR computation, unless a value is explicitly defined for the property cvar.regression.length
MRA-590 When sensitivity is not aligned with the market pillars, a linear interpolation is now applied on market data in order to fit the tenor/maturity/moneyness of the sensitivity. This feature is available on Scalar configuration.

MRA-485 Support for scalar sensitivities has been implemented.
To run the application in scalar data-load mode, use one of the following Spring Profiles, as required:
* scalar-sensi
* scalar-sensi-store-import
* scalar-sensi-aggregated-import The file format for the default sample data load is unchanged between vectorised and scalar sensitivities, however signoff import data formats will be different.

MRA-494 Reporting server upgraded from 0.1.0 to 0.1.8
MRA-461 A server started with a non-default port will generate non-default H2 console ports, using the application port as a seed.
MRA-456 Maturity conversion for dynamic bucketing is now done via the IMaturityConverter interface. The default implementation queries the tenor stores for static and dynamic tenors and maturities.
There is also a simple implementation that allows a custom tenor converter and day count convention to be used.
MRA-298 Sensitivities are now present in one store: TradeSensitivities. The abstract classes AGreekSensiCubeMeasureConfig, AMatrixTypeSensiCubeMeasureConfig and A3DTypeSensiCubeMeasureConfig allow the configuration of 1-dimensional, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional sensitivities measures.
