Numerix model library is the foundation of many of the world s largest trading and risk platforms and this infrastructure can be easily utilized for product design of Vas and FIAs enabling companies to institute a consistent price framework and enhance the effectiveness of their hedges. NUMERIX HYBRID MODEL The key to hedging risk in a way that is consistent with market-observed behavior is bringing together interest rate, equity, volatility, credit and other factors within a unified, efficient model framework. To accomplish this, it is necessary to incorporate stochastic processes across multiple asset classes and factors. This requires a simultaneous calibration process to accurately capture correlation between volatility factors. Numerix has developed a unique hybrid model framework that provides a structure for designing and calibrating such a model. Numerix hybrid model framework helps hedge risk that is consistent with market-observed behavior, bringing together all risk factors.
