Derivatives play an important role in modern finance, allowing one party to transfer risks to another willing to accept them. The counterparty risk that emerges from bilateral settlement is decisive, particularly in volatile markets—yet at the same time, the liquidity and funding of a bank and the derivatives markets are threatened by regulatory capital charges for potential future exposure. Therefore, timely and reliable estimates of future counterparty credit exposures, possible future collateral shortfalls, and their impact on funding liquidity are crucial for decision making. To meet these requirements in a cloud-native enterprise architecture for derivatives trading, the necessary monitoring capability needs to be enhanced using AIs with low latency that can ingest new data on market changes.
Insights into emerging AI technology reveal its increasing use for high-risk, high-value applications with growing complexity and rapidly changing demand and supply. At the same time, cloud-native technology is establishing itself as the enterprise architecture of choice for many new and emerging applications. The two technologies form a promising combination, enabling real-time credit risk and liquidity analysis of derivatives trades and portfolios for timely decision support. Yet there is little structured guidance for combining them. To satisfy these tipping-point criteria, these AI applications need to deliver millisecond-level latency; gracefully scale up and down; and provide continuous operational resilience through fault isolation, redundancy, and failover across cloud regions and service providers. Without such characteristics, AI function cannot meet business needs.
