It discusses sample data sets, regulatory requirements, model development procedures, and specific models for predicting default and overdue payments. Key points include sampling techniques like SMOTE to handle imbalanced data, feature selection based on expected monotonicity, developing prediction models in Excel, and evaluating model performance on different classes. The document serves as a teaching guide on applying machine learning to regulatory-compliant consumer lending predictive analytics.
Chapter 4 microsoft azure machine learning studioQuan Risk
This document provides an outline for a presentation on machine learning using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio. It includes sections on monotonic causal relationships, sample data sets, feature selection, two-class models, prediction models, and regression models. The document contains detailed slides on each topic with descriptions and examples. It discusses preparing sample data sets from full data, selecting important features, building classification and regression models, evaluating model performance, and deploying predictive web services. The overall document provides an in-depth tutorial on applying machine learning techniques using Azure ML Studio.
1) The document discusses machine learning and regulatory technology (RegTech) applications in finance, including outliers detection, remote account opening, and facial recognition.
2) Outliers detection uses historical data and machine learning algorithms to establish rules to identify outliers in financial reports. Remote account opening and facial recognition utilize technologies like facial recognition and document authentication to verify customer identities for online account opening.
3) RegTech applies modern technologies like machine learning, blockchain and APIs to meet regulatory requirements in finance. This helps improve compliance processes and risk management.
Based on the facts presented, Shanghai Commercial Bank was found to be partially compliant with AMLO requirements regarding customer due diligence, ongoing monitoring, and record keeping. Specifically, it failed to continuously monitor business relationships for 33 customers, and did not carry out full customer due diligence for certain pre-existing customers involved in unusual transactions. This assessment was made using the principle of balance of probabilities, where if less than 50% of facts show full compliance, remedial actions are needed.
Chapter 12 regulatory technology for aml complianceQuan Risk
This document discusses regulatory technology for anti-money laundering compliance. It covers identity document validation using facial recognition, regulatory requirements for remote customer onboarding from regulators like HKMA and SFC, and detecting suspicious money laundering activities through statistical analysis of transaction amounts, frequencies, and connected risk factors. Statistical outliers identified through comparing an account's activities to norms can flag it for higher priority investigation, though this approach carries a risk of false positives.
This document discusses control self-assessment, which involves a business unit assessing its operations and control procedures against a procedural document. It describes how the assessment is internally driven and may use checklists or workshops. The document provides templates for assessing compliance levels for control procedures and collecting supplementary justification information. It also outlines corrective action plans and justification processes for controls found to be partially or non-compliant. Compliance results can then be summarized by business unit, control procedure, or both, and projections for future compliance can be made.
This document provides an overview of remote customer onboarding processes, including identity verification without physical presence. It discusses validating identity documents through security features and facial recognition. Regulatory requirements from the HKMA and SFC on authenticating documents, verifying identities, and establishing designated bank accounts are also covered. The document uses examples from Hong Kong identity cards, Chinese identity cards, biometric passports, and mobile account opening processes to illustrate remote onboarding techniques.
This document discusses Know Your Customer (KYC) utilities and their role in facilitating customer onboarding for financial institutions. It addresses some key issues with KYC utilities, including:
- Adverse selection issues if higher-value customers are onboarded directly by institutions rather than through utilities.
- Potential prisoner's dilemma situations where lowering standards could increase business at the expense of data quality.
- Conflicts of interest if utilities offer "customer profile improvement services" that distort factual risk assessments.
- Need for regulatory oversight to ensure utilities prioritize quality over profit incentives and do not undermine financial crime compliance.
Major existing KYC utilities discussed include Markit/Genpact and Thomson Reuters
Chapter 4 credit assessment with neutral networkQuan Risk
This document provides an overview of credit assessment using neural networks. It begins with an outline that covers polynomial regression, multiple linear regression, monotonic neural networks, and shadow ratings. It then discusses monotonic neural networks in more detail, including their structure and how they are optimized. The document concludes with an example of using a neural network for credit assessment that normalizes and splits data before setting up, calibrating, and using the network to conduct predictions and analyze monotonicity.
Chapter 1 stored value retail payment systemQuan Risk
This document provides an overview of stored value facilities (SVFs) and the regulatory framework for SVFs in Hong Kong. It discusses key topics including:
- SVFs are a type of retail payment system that allows storing monetary value that can be used for payments.
- SVFs are regulated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority under the Payment Systems and Stored Value Facilities Ordinance, which establishes licensing requirements and outlines the regulator's supervisory and enforcement powers.
- Money laundering is a risk for SVFs due to their ability to be topped up with cash and used anonymously for cross-border transactions. Regulations aim to balance anti-money laundering controls with market development.
-
This document provides an overview of statistical arbitrage algorithmic trading. It discusses various topics including price data analysis using candlestick charts, developing trading strategies using indicators like simple moving averages, backtesting strategies on historical data, automating and implementing trades, and the "Turtle" trend following strategies developed by Richard Dennis. The document is intended as teaching material on quantitative trading and algorithmic strategies.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
