In the 2007–9 credit crisis, the issues of improper valuation and inadequate risk management in the use of credit derivatives were at the centre of the credit market turmoil. There has been much discussion about the use of such instruments as mortgage-backed securities, collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) and credit default swaps (CDSs). The crisis has raised the question of how we measure the risks of innovative financial products and manage those risks. Innovative financial instruments are typically illiquid and pose several challenges for their valuation and the measurement and management of the risks associated with them. Measuring risk at some specified time horizon requires the ability to price different assets in future states and to compute different risk measures. Managing risk requires the means to alter a risk profile, through either contractual mechanisms such as master agreements or institutions such as clearinghouses or via the use of hedging instruments. This chapter addresses some of the many issues that arise when a new form of financial instrument is introduced.
