Risk Management in a Fair Valuation World

M. H. D. Kemp

British Actuarial Journal, 2005, vol. 11, issue 4, 595-712

Abstract: This paper considers the impact that the current trend towards fair valuation of assets and liabilities is likely to have on risk measurement and management practices within the financial services industry. The paper analyses the different sorts of risks faced by organisations such as asset managers, pension funds, banks and insurers, and seeks to identify how their approach to the measurement and management of these sorts of risks might change as fair valuation becomes more entrenched. It argues that what it describes as traditional ‘time series’ based risk measurement is likely to be progressively displaced over time by a greater emphasis on what the paper refers to as ‘derivative pricing’ (or ‘fair value’ or ‘market consistent’) based risk modelling. It comments on the trend towards liability driven investment. The paper focuses on ‘financial’ risks (market, credit, liquidity and, more generally, asset/liability risk) rather than ‘operational’ risks, whilst noting that the dividing line between the two can be open to interpretation. Insurance risk is seen as in some respects straddling both camps.
