Global financial service companies use the strategies of arbitrage to leverage their resources and selectively show values by moving things around between funds and markets.  Actual Structure and Virtual structure of accounts can be broken down and reassembled to give advantage where the "management" decides.  A global version of Enron.\n\nArbitrage\n\nIn economics, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a state of imbalance between two or more markets: a combination of matching deals are struck that exploit the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices. When used by academics, an arbitrage is a transaction that involves no negative cash flow at any probabilistic or temporal state and a positive cash flow in at least one state. A person who engages in arbitrage is called an arbitrageur. The term is mainly applied to trading in financial instruments, such as bonds, stocks, derivatives and currencies.\n\nIf the market prices do not allow for profitable arbitrage, the prices are said to constitute an arbitrage equilibrium. An arbitrage equilibrium is a precondition for a general economic equilibrium.\n\nStatistical arbitrage is an imbalance in expected values. A casino usually has a statistical arbitrage in every game of chance played, even though it could lose money on any single game.

I am a trainee actuary working in a financial reporting department of a major Irish life assurance company.\n\nAt the moment, all of the modelling that we do is deterministic in nature - we set assumptions, run them through our model and analyse the results. We then might run the model with slightly different assumptions to see how sensitive the results are.\n\nHowever, this approach will have to change in the near future. IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) are being brought in many countries (including the UK and Ireland) which require products with guarantees to be modelled stochastically. This will require far more runs and will place a lot more demand on computing power.\n\nIndeed, in the UK, I believe they have already brought in some form of stochastic modelling as part of the reappraisal of the way that with-profit business (i.e. policies that pay bonuses) is valued by the life assurers in the UK. The financial regulators have brought in a "realistic balance sheet" for with-profits that uses market consistent stochastic modelling.\n\nI can't speak for the situation in the US as I'm not aware of the situation there. I imagine it's much the same - if not more advanced.\n\nI'm sure stochastic modelling will also be used more in the future in general actuarial modelling as well as financial reporting as it more accurately takes account of risk.\n\nSo to answer your question, stochastic modelling is being used and will be used increasingly over the near future as the computing power capabilities and regulatory requirements increase. It's the way of the future!\n\nI don't know much about the second part of your question but I did a couple quick searches on Google and they seemed to show up a few results (see below).\n\n(I hope my answer wasn't too long and technical - excuse me if it was.)

A stable financial system is vital for an economy. All the financial institutions borrow from eachother. In other words: if one major bank goes bankrupt, you get a deep depression.

May 1, 2006:\n\nBarclays Capital, the investment banking division of Barclays, aims to hire 50 people by the end of this year to develop a leveraged finance business in the United States. \n\nUnder the leadership of Joe McGrath and Rick Van Zijl, the former Goldman Sachs veterans, the company is spreading into higher-risk activities. The leveraged finance business plans to lend to non-investment grade companies, as well as underwriting high-yield bonds and offering mezzanine finance. \n\nThe group hopes to gain from corporate relationships built by high-yield colleagues in Europe. By building a US leveraged finance business, BarCap hopes to develop a global business in this area. The bank expects the energy and power sector to be an initial area of focus in the US, tapping into the strength of the bank's commodities work. It will look to underwrite deals with credit ratings ranging from low single B to high CCC. \n\nMr Van Zijl said: "It is a strategic initiative for the Barclays franchise and integral to the efforts of BarCap." \n\nAbout 35 people have been hired, including former Goldman Sachs staff. The company hopes to do its first trades in the year's third quarter. Mr Van Zijl said the group was mindful that it is expanding as experts forecast increased market volatility. \n\nJohn Varley, chief executive of Barclays, mortgaged his Pounds 1.5 million house in London with the rival HSBC, it has emerged. The bank's finance director and its deputy chairman have also taken mortgages with rival providers. Barclays said the executives had been reluctant to take out mortgages elsewhere, but did so to keep their finances private from colleagues.

It's not really a case of losing courage when you look at the size, growth and devlopment that is occurring in China.  We are not the only super power in the world today.\n\nThe real risk would be if China decided to call in the US loans resulting from the deficit, stopped buying US denominated bonds and put trade restrictions on US imports.  After all without China the US Dollar would be flushed down the financial toilet instead of treading water in the toilet bowl!

"The financial sector mobilizes savings and allocates\ncredit across space and time. It provides not only payment services, but more importantly products which enable firms and households to cope with economic uncertainties by hedging, pooling, sharing, and pricing risks. An efficient financial sector reduces the cost and risk of producing and trading goods and services and thus makes an important contribution to raising standards of living."\n\nSo there - in short - if we didn't have one - we would have to work in real money (ie no loans) which could prevent us (or businesses) from investing in projects until the money was saved...\n\nAlso the whole insurance market wouldn't exist which could have devastating consequences for households and businesses.

No, that led to all kinds of perversions of market forces in the past. Liquidity is also an issue. \n\nIf it ain't broke, don't fix it.
