Model Risk Management (MRM) at HSBC is structured as a global function, headed up by the Chief Model Risk Officer (CMRO). The MRM function reports directly to the Group Chief Risk and Compliance Officer (GCRCO) ensuring its independence from the model developing and owning areas of the firm.
MRM are the second line of defence (2LoD) for Model Risk and the CMRO is the global Model Risk Steward for the group and is also accountable for the global operation of the MRM function. MRM teams are based in each region, to ensure local subject matter expertise and to guide, review, and challenge. MRM activity is managed on a global basis as many models are used in multiple locations. This enables MRM to operate consistently and efficiently globally, and to take account of additional local regulatory requirements.
Independent Model Validation is a specialist quantitative role within the Model Risk Management team responsible for carrying out independent validations of HSBC’s model landscape, in order to identify and communicate model limitations and issues.

They will also review remediation plans and activities, undertake portfolio level reviews across model types and challenge the model owners on the appropriate application of relevant policy of models.
Model types include but are not limited to Credit Risk models (Retail and Wholesale), IFRS9 models, Stress Testing and Scenario Analysis models, Economic Capital models, Financial Vulnerability models, Pricing models, Traded Risk models, Insurance Risk models and models covering non-financial areas e.g., transaction monitoring, customer selection and human resources.
