Fermac Risk 

In 2008

Founded in 2008 with a passion for teaching financial risks to participants, we successfully navigated the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Despite the challenges, we overcame them and gained valuable lessons...

2009 On-site courses

  • Since 2009, our clients have required us to visit their cities, leading us to travel to 35 cities across Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

 

  • During the past 16 years, we have been honored to serve almost 3,000 participants.

 

  • Our memories are filled with clients from Belgium, Poland, France, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil, and Angola who visited us for courses in Madrid and Barcelona.

2012 Online Courses

 

  • In 2012, we pioneered the industry by introducing live online training well ahead of the 2020 pandemic. It was innovative at the time, and customers accepted it very well.

  • We are working in almost 25 countries on four continents. 

  • We completed an intensive course on IFRS 9: Credit Risk Modeling with fifteen participants from Spain in 43 hours, instead of the planned 30 hours, demonstrating our enthusiasm and thoroughness.

Our Clients

 

  • Our clients are our top priority. For instance, a participant from Barcelona secured prestigious positions every time he attended one of our courses.

  • We are grateful for the recognition from a Peruvian participant who has attended multiple training sessions with us.

  • Additionally, a Spanish participant from one of the Big 4 firms first engaged with us as an analyst and continued to do so as a partner, along with his entire team. We are very honored by this.

  • The CEO of a Portuguese bank provided us with a wonderful opportunity to work with him for almost two years.
 
Thank you very much

2024 Challenges in Training 

  • We are aware that the world has changed, and there are excellent platforms that have reduced the prices of courses and have become massive.

  • We aim to make training accessible to a wider audience while upholding the same high quality we have always provided. We aim to expand our reach without neglecting our primary clients, predominantly financial institutions, regulatory bodies, and businesses.

  • Therefore, we are excited to introduce our innovative training format: Subscription-Based Learning.

2017 - Machine Learning

2022 - Quantum  Computing

  • In 2017, we incorporated machine learning into our financial risk courses to enhance the course quality.

  • Looking ahead, we have meticulously planned to incorporate quantum computing in 2022 and implement generative AI by the end of 2023, a testament to our commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements.

  • We are passionate about what we do and have tested these new technologies, yielding excellent results. This includes better credit scoring models, more accurate scenarios, synthetic data creation, improved backtesting, modeling with uncertainty, and faster calculations.

Innovative Training
for Tomorrow's Challenges:

Subscription-Based Learning 

How could Quantum Computing and AI benefit the
Financial Industry?

            Asset Liability Management 
  • We utilize Transformers and Quantum LSTM models to forecast time series of deposit rates. This decreases MAPE, one of the best error metrics, and enhances backtesting.

            Credit Risk

  • We increase the ROC in credit scoring using Quantum Convolutional Neural Network, improving the discriminant power and Backtesting.

  • We use Bayesian Neural Network to reduce the uncertainty in the forecasting of PD.

  • Use Deep Learning Survival and Random Forest Survival instead of Cox Regression to estimate lifetime PD improvement backtesting.

  • With noise, uncertainty, and lack of data, we utilize Robust Machine Learning to model LGD, reducing Model Risk.

  • The economic capital for credit risk has been estimated using Quantum Monte Carlo faster than Simulation Monte Carlo.

            Counterparty Credit Risk

  • We utilized a Quantum Neural Network to simulate paths for calculating the Credit Value Adjustment of a derivatives portfolio. The trained neural networks replace the original pricing model.

            CyberRisk

  • We explain how Shor's algorithm, which can factorize quickly on a quantum computer, undermines RSA's cryptography security assumptions. We also expose how Lattice-based constructions support standards of post-quantum cryptography. 

     

             Model Risk

  • Expose the state-of-the-art methods in interpretable machine learning and model diagnosis.

  • Reduce the uncertainty in lifetime PD estimation using Quantum Markov Chain Monte Carlo QMCMC over traditional MCMC approach

     

             Portfolio Optimization

  • With 16 qubits and quantum annealing, we optimize a portfolio and perform calculations faster than the classical approach.

     

             Stress Testing

  • We utilize Generative Adversarial Networks  (GANs) and Variational AutoEncoders to generate synthetic data that retains the original data's statistical characteristics while generating new data points. This is particularly useful for creating economic scenarios during turbulent periods such as war, geopolitical tensions, and climate change. 

       

             Green AI

  • Tensor networks in machine learning reduce the number of parameters in neural network models, lowering energy costs. 

             Derivatives Pricing

  • We showcase the superiority of Quantum Monte Carlo Simulation over classical Monte Carlo Simulation in terms of speed for pricing exotic options.
