Quantitative Analytics (QA) is a global organisation of highly specialized quantitative modellers and developers. QA is led by Olaf Springer, who is a member of Risk Exco.

QA is responsible for developing, testing, implementing and supporting quantitative models for valuation and risk management of traded assets, regulatory and economic capital, impairments, scenario generation, credit and fraud risk decisions, surveillance modelling, asset-liability management, operational risk, net revenue and balance sheet forecasting, and stress testing across Barclays.

About QA Market Risk 

The QA Market Risk team develops and supports all of the risk, capital and RWA models under the Market Risk umbrella of the Barclays investment bank.

QA Market Risk is responsible for the full development lifecycle of the market risk models according to the standards defined by Basel, local governing regulators and internal risk management. The output of QA MR suite of models includes key capital and RWA metrics such as Value-at-Risk, Expected Shortfall, Incremental Risk Charge, CVA VaR, and standardized RWA. Market risk portfolio models span all asset classes in the trading book of the investment bank. In addition, QA Market Risk is responsible for all of RWA projections and GMS default loss measure under the FRB CCAR stress testing requirements.
