Inhaltsangabe

Building investment products is no different from building any other type of product: Great care must be taken to ensure that the product delivered to consumers is robust and reliable. Indeed, any investment professional who has researched, designed, and built investment products will attest to the importance of model validation because in any investment process, model validation is a critical component that underpins the reliability and effectiveness of investment strategies. As financial markets have become increasingly complex and dynamic, relying on models to make informed decisions has become commonplace. These models range from simple statistical models to sophisticated machine learning algorithms, all designed to analyze historical data and predict future market movements. However, the robustness of these models can be compromised by various factors, such as changing market conditions, unexpected events, and evolving investor behavior. Therefore, validating these models is imperative in order to ensure their relevance and performance in real-world scenarios. Model validation should be a proactive process that acknowledges the inherent uncertainties in financial markets and seeks to enhance the robustness and reliability of investment models. As the financial landscape continues to evolve, the importance of rigorous model validation processes will only grow.

This monograph is designed to provide a practical yet detailed overview of the various model validation tools that investment practitioners have at their disposal. It seeks to contribute to the enhancement of investment product development by providing a comprehensive discussion of frameworks and techniques that can be used to assess the accuracy, reliability, and appropriateness of the models that drive investment processes. Thus, the ultimate beneficiary of this monograph will be the investing public that uses the services of professional investment managers.
