Automatic IFT for Live Risk Transition

QuantMinds presentation demonstrating how Automated Implicit Function Theorem enables transition from overnight batch risk to real-time Live Risk without multi-year IT transformation.

Key Takeaways

  • Transform overnight batch risk into real-time Live Risk
  • Automatic differentiation of calibration routines using AIFT
  • No hidden variable tracking or large Jacobian computation required
  • QuantLib integration achieving 20ms pricing + Greeks for 1000 swaps

Technical Highlights

  • Automated Implicit Function Theorem (AIFT) for solver differentiation
  • Works with exact-fit and nearly-exact calibrations
  • No codebase refactoring required
  • Checkpointing approach without going into solvers
  • Published in Risk.NET 2022 by Goloubentsev, Lakshtanov, and Piterbarg
