Stochastic Modeling and Itô Calculus for Asset Backed Securities: A Practical Introduction within the Basel III and FRTB Framework

Joshi, Satyadhar (2025) Stochastic Modeling and Itô Calculus for Asset Backed Securities: A Practical Introduction within the Basel III and FRTB Framework. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 26 (3). pp. 2546-2573. ISSN 2581-9615

This paper synthesizes the mathematical foundations of risk management for Asset-Backed Securitization (ABS) in light of the latest regulatory framework. We present a compilation of essential quantitative techniques, regulatory frameworks, and computational methods that form the core knowledge base for modern structured credit risk analysis. The work systematically organizes: Fundamental models including Basel III capital calculations (CET1 ratios, RWA formulations), ABS waterfall mechanics, and stress testing frameworks; Key regulatory requirements spanning FRTB, Basel III Endgame, and liquidity coverage ratios; and Critical technical implementations using stochastic calculus (Brownian motion, Itô processes), numerical methods (finite difference schemes, Monte Carlo simulation), and programming paradigms (Python, C++, SQL). Through pointing about the critical derivations of pertinent financial mathematics and precise statements of regulatory capital rules, this paper serves as a definitive reference for the quantitative underpinnings of market and redit risk management. The included collection of advanced technical questions further establishes benchmarks for expertise in market risk modeling, derivative pricing, and regulatory compliance focused on structured finance and secularization. Intended as a foundational resource, this work provides practitioners, modelers and researchers with a rigorous mathematical compendium while maintaining direct applicability to real-world risk analysis and oversight. This is a pure review paper and summarizes preexisting theories in the domain.
