The code defines a function AgeCrif
that is designed to "age" a CRIF (Common Risk Interchange Format) dataframe. A CRIF is typically a financial dataset used in calculating Initial Margins for portfolios under regulatory frameworks, such as the Standard Initial Margin Model (SIMM). Here's an explanation of what the function does:
1. Inputs:
crifDf
: A dataframe containing CRIF data, including financial instruments and their relevant attributes (e.g., valuation date, end date, label, tenor).timeNodesList
: A list of time nodes (in years) used to shift the valuation date forward in time for aging the CRIF.OutPutPathName
: A string representing the output path for saving an aged CRIF file (optional).saveAgedCrif
: A boolean flag indicating whether to save the aged CRIF data to a file.timeNodesDf
: An optional dataframe specifying time nodes (overridestimeNodesList
).
2. Steps Performed by the Code:
a. Preparation of Time Nodes:
- If
timeNodesDf
is empty, the function computes it based on thetimeNodesList
(converting years to days and calculating future dates using the valuation date). - If a
timeNodesDf
is provided, it calculates "ShiftDays" (days to shift valuation date) and theTimeNode
(years equivalent of shift).
b. Data Merge and Filtering:
- Joins CRIF data (
crifDf
) withtenorDaysDf
(assumes a predefined dataframe describing tenor ranges) to add tenor-related information to the CRIF. - Filters out irrelevant records based on business rules (e.g., skips trades that expire before the shifted valuation date or don't meet certain maturity requirements).
c. Aging Logic:
- The CRIF data is aged based on the new
TimeNodeDate
(shifted valuation date). For instance:- Computes remaining maturity by subtracting
ShiftDays
. - Adjusts tenor days (remaining tenor after shifting).
- Computes remaining maturity by subtracting
- Assigns trades to new tenor buckets based on the remaining maturity or remaining tenor days.
- Re-buckets records by joining CRIF data with the tenor ranges again after the adjustments.
d. Term Ratios and Allocations:
- Calculates a
TermRatio
that reflects the proportion of time remaining to the total original maturity (or tenor). - Allocates amounts between "low" and "high" tenor buckets:
AllocationLow
: Proportion allocated to the low tenor.AllocationHigh
: Proportion allocated to the high tenor.- Adjusts amounts (
Amount
andAmountUSD
) based on these ratios.
e. Cleanup:
- Drops unnecessary columns after processing.
- Filters out records with zero amounts (since they're no longer relevant).
- Ensures only a minimal set of columns (
minHeaderList_local
) is retained.
f. Optional Save:
- If
saveAgedCrif
isTrue
, saves the processed (aged) CRIF to a.csv.gz
file with a filename indicating the GID, post-or-call flag, and valuation date.
3. Output:
- The function returns the aged CRIF dataframe, which contains adjusted tenors, maturities, and amounts reflective of a new valuation date.
4. Key Features:
- Time Bucketing: Uses time nodes to shift and age the CRIF data forward in time.
- Tenor Adjustments: Adjusts tenor-related fields and reassigns records to appropriate tenor buckets.
- Allocation of Amounts: Adjusts financial amounts (e.g., cashflows) to reflect partial allocations due to aging.
- Filtering Rules: Carefully filters out records that do not meet aging criteria (e.g., expired trades).
5. Applications:
- The function is useful in financial risk management, particularly in scenarios where aging of financial trades or positions is required for regulatory or operational analysis (e.g., calculating margin or risk exposure at future time nodes).
