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?

hello Owe. what is the purpose of a pricer of futures? how does that work? – edouard Apr 1 '12 at 8:54
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). – Owe Jessen Apr 1 '12 at 19:09
Surely that should be F=S*exp(rt), i.e. no minus? – snth Apr 4 '12 at 8:03
The danger of working from memory. Indeed we are using discreet returns, and have Price = Spot*(1+r*t) – Owe Jessen Apr 4 '12 at 9:20
