Another threat that is amplifying in the context of the digitalising society relates to customer data protection. The FI calls for more advanced security systems that would protect the consumer at all stages of a payment transaction.

In the second part of the article series, we outline a framework utilising both the Self-Normalizing Neural Networks (SNNs) and the logistic regression for bond liquidity classification. This framework is subsequently applied to the Swedish bond market in an investigative case study.
Machine learning applications have become more prominent in the financial industry in recent years. Our new article series is exploring the benefits and challenges of using self-normalising neural networks (SNNs) for calculating liquidity risk. The first piece of the series introduces the main concepts used in the investigative case study for the Swedish bond market.
In the third and concluding article in the ALM using LMSC series, we focus on analyzing the optimal asset allocations in the context of changing asset classes as well as finding the optimal allocation by maximizing the risk-adjusted net asset value. The estimates based on the LSMC method are then compared to the estimates obtained from the full nested Monte Carlo method.
The second part of the series exploring the use of Least Squares Monte Carlo in Asset and Liability Management is focused on evaluation of accuracy and performance of this method in comparison to full nested Monte Carlo simulation benchmarks.
