ISSA OTC Derivatives Valuation WG /
Report on the Verification of Valuations
10 September 2008
The 2007 ISSA Regional Meetings had highlighted the key challenges
in OTC derivatives processing from the perspectives of a fund manager,
a broker and a third party administrator or custodian. Following the
meetings, the ISSA OTC Derivatives Working Group was created. Its
mandate was to identify very tangible issues with the potential for
material quick wins at the practitioner level.
Under the leadership of Jon Lloyd of JP Morgan, the Working Group
has now completed its first report on the verification of valuations of OTC derivatives.
The best practice recommendations outlined in the report achieve a degree of clarity and practical resolution that the industry will find of considerable use. Any comments on the report are invited.
