Short intro: We are developing pricing engines for the calculation of market risk in a Solvency II solution, including bonds, callable bonds, cds, options, futures and so on. Are there any canonical test cases which the engines have to solve?

$\begingroup$ In Solvency II you have to consider the effect of interest rate changes on every price, so we take the usual formula Future = Spot * exp(-rt). $\endgroup$– Owe JessenApr 1, 2012 at 19:09

$\begingroup$ Surely that should be F=S*exp(rt), i.e. no minus? $\endgroup$– snthApr 4, 2012 at 8:03

$\begingroup$ The danger of working from memory. Indeed we are using discreet returns, and have Price = Spot*(1+r*t) $\endgroup$– Owe JessenApr 4, 2012 at 9:20
