FRTB
WHAT IS THIS? The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) is a set of market risk capital rules designed to replace a series of patches introduced after the financial crisis. It seeks to better-capture tail risk, to redraw the boundary between banking and trading books, and to raise the bar for internal models.
