Secondary Marketing

Hedge Model Review:


The Hedge Model Review procedure reviews the model reports to determine if the results are reasonable given market conditions and consistent with typical mortgage banking hedge strategy. This method provides a general observation of the hedge model results.

 

 

Hedge Model Validation:


In the Hedge Model Validation method, month-end pipeline and warehouse data are obtained and run through an independent, previously verified hedge model to calculate a new hedge position assessment. The independent results are then compared with the existing hedge position to determine validation.

 

This Validation complies with the requirement of the OCC 2011-12, FRB SR 11-7,  Model Risk Management bulletin (previously Bulletin OCC 2000-16 Risk Model Validation).
