SIMM Falls Short says PRA

In an article over at DRS they explain why the current SIMM model and calibration may not be adequate for the implementation of UMR phase 6 in September. A letter from the Bank of England Prudential Regulation Authority sets out their conclusions of a review of the SIMM model.

DRS-ALS comments: “Even assuming a sound initial framework, all financial models are subject to drift, constant monitoring and re-calibration to fact are essential. The RTS requires P&L back testing, ISDA recommend it, the PRA’s letter makes it abundantly clear that firms must use the SIMM responsibly and will be found responsible if they do not.”
