The OIS & FVA Relationship -
The Evolving Funding Dynamics for OTC Derivatives
Overnight Index Swap (OIS) discounting and Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA) have been hot topics in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) derivatives market since the global financial crisis. While practitioners generally agree that fully collateralized trades should be discounted at the rate paid on the collateral, meaning cash-collateralized trades are discounted using overnight rates instead of LIBOR, there is less agreement on exactly how to price partially collateralized or uncollateralized trades and how to include a funding charge in the price to reflect a firm’s true cost of funding. Moreover, optionality embedded in Credit Support Annexes (CSAs) can make the pricing exercise even more complicated.
Join Numerix on Wednesday, June 19th at 10:00am EDT as featured speaker Dr. Tom Davis, Vice President of the Client Solutions Group, discusses the fundamentals of OIS discounting and Funding Value Adjustment for OTC derivatives and delves into the relationship between the two concepts.
Dr. Davis will discuss:

- Utopian CSA
- Real world CSA
- A Primer on Funding Value Adjustment
- Why has this come to the forefront?
- FVA definition
