The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) layer provided with , using the default file format, will perform the following transformations when data is loaded from the input files into the datastore.

​
Risk Factor Name

If the risk-factor name is not included in the input file (using the default file format), a name is generated as follows:
  • Delta: Risk Factor Currency | Counter Currency
  • Vega: Risk Factor Currency | Counter Currency
  • Curvature: Risk Factor Currency | Counter Currency

​
Normalisation

In the default file format, each row of the sensitivities’ files contains the sensitivity as well as a description of the risk factor. The data normalisation splits this information across three stores in the datastore, as described in the data model.

​
Vectorisation

For efficiency, Vega sensitivities are stored in vectors. The entries of the vectors represent the maturities of the risk factors. In the default file format, we allow sensitivities to be provided as either single values or as vectors. During the ETL, sensitivities are grouped together into vectors.

​
Interpolation

For compatibility with risk engines, Vega sensitivities may be loaded for any maturity. During the ETL, these sensitivities are interpolated to match the maturities in the specification.
