Information about the squad:

We are responsible for validating IRRBB & ALM models used by ING in about 40 countries all over the globe. We cover an interesting, wide, and evolving set of models ranging from highly technical/quantitative to qualitative/expert-opinion based. We specialize in market risk models in the banking book such as behavioral, interest rates, valuation, replication/hedging, and risk measurement. Our core mandate is to address whether a particular model is fit for its designated purpose, based on mathematical assumptions, appropriate business contexts, academic theories, and empirical evidence, and is properly adherent to regulations, best practices, and the latest technological innovations.

The ALM Model Validation Tribe has 50 experts and specialists split into 3 chapters in Amsterdam and 1 chapter in Warsaw. The Warsaw chapter has 15 validators, which constitute an independent team but work very closely with the whole Tribe.
