TARA 2009: The Arabian Reading Association

Interest Rate Risk and FX Hybrids
Mar 5, 2009 - Mar 6, 2009,
New York United States

Calibrating financial models is a challenging optimization problem, particularly difficult for interest rate exotics. One possibility is to design special models which are solvable in closed form for the derivatives used as calibration targets. An alternative is to find a brute force engineering solution without restricting the underlying dynamics by requiring analytic tractability, thus remaining model agnostic. The added flexibility is beneficial and confers robustness and economic realism to the model. The model agnostic alternative is now possible due to the recent breakthroughs in computer engineering. This workshop addresses mainly model agnostic system design while also providing a discussion of the classical models and a comparison of performance and accuracy.

This workshop will cover in detail calibration, valuation and risk management of interest rate exotics in a model agnostic framework for general stochastic monetary policy interest rate dynamics. We discuss calibration to the swaption volatility cube and exotics such as CMS spread options. It is possible to fit well market datasets with a single global calibration (not an instrument dependent one). Classical alternatives also discussed and compared in detail include multi-factor Hull-White models with adjustors and BGM market models.

Occupational Health and Safety Conference 2009
Mar 5, 2009 - Mar 6, 2009,
Singapore

There is no compromise when it comes to Environmental, Health and Safety. Organisations in heavy industries have an obligation to protect the environment’s core values which are the human lives, property and atmosphere. It will go at all cost to advocate a good safety management system in its business model. Failing which will affect the public confidence and its shareholder’s ROI. Industry experts indicated that the accidents in Asia are costing the heavy industry billion of dollars. Right now, cutting back on these losses is a major priory by the industry players to sustain business continuity and growth in tackling the bearish market.

This conference is to heed the call of the governments in this region to promote the Occupational, Health and Safety among the organisations. The focus is on heavy industries where the process is more complex, occupational hazards are high, and the understanding of the local and international regulations are needed as a benchmark to success in order to achieve zero accident. Through the years, the concept of OHS has evolved into many levels. Organisations, whether those in the implementing stage or the advance stage could all benefit by sharing their best practices.
