How to Transition from Batch Risk to Real-time Risk

We present an elegant way to transition from overnight risk calculations to live risk without embarking on a multi-year IT transformation project. We show how the Automated Implicit Function Theorem (AIFT) and a modern Automatic Adjoint Differentiation (AAD) tool can be used in a real production code to achieve an ‘always on’ Risk Server, and we outline the steps required to transition.
