Systems and methods for generating an integrated market and credit loss distribution for the purpose of calculating one or more risk measures associated with a portfolio of instruments are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, compound risk factor sampling is performed that comprises conditionally generating multiple systemic credit driver samples for each market risk factor sample generated per time step of a simulation. There are also disclosed systems and methods for determining an optimal number of sample values for each of the market risk factors, systemic credit drivers, and optionally, idiosyncratic credit risk factors that would be required in order to obtain an acceptable amount of variability in the calculated risk estimates and/or to satisfy an available computational budget.

A risk management system and method provides for the establishment of dynamic portfolios, whose evolution over time is defined by one or more rules. Each dynamic portfolio can have instruments added and removed over time in accordance with Trade Managers as a result of evaluation of the user-defined rules which can be dependent upon various attributes, including time, portfolio contents, risk factor values, risk values and other information. Such dynamic portfolios can be used to analyze risk associated with settlement, liquidity and/or collateral management issues, to name a few. Also, a user can define multiple candidate trading strategies, each implemented in one or more Trade Managers, and the user can then analyze the effectiveness of the candidate strategies, before adopting one.
