Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel multifactor analytic framework for credit portfolio modeling that incorporates the impact of the probability of default-loss given default correlation. In particular, we provide explicit expressions for calculating volatility, value-at-risk and expected shortfall, along with the associated Euler risk contributions. This approach is an extension and application of the framework proposed by Voropaev in 2011 and Buet-Golfouse and Owen in 2015. The main intended application is for large loan or mortgage portfolios, and as such we neglect idiosyncratic risk adjustments. This simplifies the expressions and improves computational speed. We finish by comparing the analytic results with a vanilla Monte Carlo implementation.
期刊介绍:
With the re-writing of the Basel accords in international banking and their ensuing application, interest in credit risk has never been greater. The Journal of Credit Risk focuses on the measurement and management of credit risk, the valuation and hedging of credit products, and aims to promote a greater understanding in the area of credit risk theory and practice. The Journal of Credit Risk considers submissions in the form of research papers and technical papers, on topics including, but not limited to: Modelling and management of portfolio credit risk Recent advances in parameterizing credit risk models: default probability estimation, copulas and credit risk correlation, recoveries and loss given default, collateral valuation, loss distributions and extreme events Pricing and hedging of credit derivatives Structured credit products and securitizations e.g. collateralized debt obligations, synthetic securitizations, credit baskets, etc. Measuring managing and hedging counterparty credit risk Credit risk transfer techniques Liquidity risk and extreme credit events Regulatory issues, such as Basel II, internal ratings systems, credit-scoring techniques and credit risk capital adequacy.
