The Benefits of Mastering IRD Non-Linear Market Data and Pricing

Calypso users know the importance of accurate trade pricing, risk measurement and PL reporting, especially now that regulations have changed how firms do business. At the core of good pricing for non-linear products is good market data and robust generation of volatility surfaces. This course gives participants a firm grounding in Calypso’s pricing framework and volatility surface construction.

The participants of this course will learn about how to set up static data, volatility surfaces, and pricing environments in order to price non-linear products such as caps and floors, swaptions, cancellable swaps and other Fixed Income products with embedded options. Now more than ever with automated high-speed trading, any errors are magnified, understanding how curves are set up to match market best practice is necessary.

Calypso's Knowledge Management provides a variety of courses on trading and risk management including Front Office Introduction, Market Risk and Hedge, Collateral Management and Pricing Sheet.

NOTE: This course is aimed at people who need to set up and use Calypso for trading non-linear products and does not cover the details of pricing models with mathematical details.
