Move of DarwinIA allocations to new risk DARWINs
26 June 2020
Next Monday 29 June 2020 13:00 we will move DarwinIA allocations from the DARWINs of VaR 10% to those of VaR 6.5%.
Next Monday 29 June 2020 13:00 we will move DarwinIA allocations from the DARWINs of VaR 10% to those of VaR 6.5%.
For this move, it’s necessary to take into account the PnL of the allocation. That is, if a DARWIN of VaR 10% had an allocation of 20,000 and PnL of 1,000, what it will have after the migration to VaR 6.5% will be
(20000 + 1000) * 10/6.5
If it were a loss instead of a gain, it would be subtracted.
On July 1st the new DarwinIA prizes will be allocated to the 6.5% VaR DARWINs.
