We are assuming statistical independence so forexample the bottom right entry 33 = p13 p23 = 0.07% = 0.07x0.01x100%). The transition probabilities (eg. p12 =7%) are included as an aide memoire. The figures on the left (eg. p12 = 7%) equal the sum of the likelihood rowentries (eg. 92= 2.76+82.8+6.44) and the figures at the top (eg. p22 = 90%) equal the sum of the columnentries.

Percentile Level of C-VaR
Order VA+B in table 25.6 from lowest to highestthen add up their joint likelihoods (table 25.8) until these reach the 1% value.
[25.10] VA+B = {$102, $149, $158, $159, …, $217} i,j = {0.07, 0.9, 0.49, 0.43, …, 2.76}
Critical value closest to the 1% level gives $149Hence:
C-VaR = $54.29 (= Vmp - $149 = $203.29 - $149)
© K. Cuthbertson, D. Nitzsche
Credit VaR
The C-VaR of a portfolio of corporate bonds depends on
the credit rating migration likelihoods
the value of the obligor (bond) in default (based on the seniority class of the bond)
the value of the bond in any new credit rating (where the coupons are revalued using the one-year forward rate curve applicable to that bonds new credit rating)
either use the end-year portfolio standard deviation or more usefully a particular percentile level

Many Obligors: Mapping and MCS
Asset returns are normally distributed and is known‘Invert’ the normal distribution to obtain ‘credit rating’ cut-off points
Probability BBB-rated firm moving to default is 1.06%. Then from figure 25.4 :
[25.12] Pr(default) = Pr(R<ZDef) = (ZDef/) = 1.06%Hence:[25.13] ZDef = F-1 (1.06%) = -2.30
Suppose 1.00% is the ‘observed’ transition probability of a move from BBB to CCC (table 25.10) then:
[25.14] Pr(CCC) = Pr(ZDef<R<Zccc) = (ZCCC/) - (ZDef/) = 1.00
Hence: (ZCCC/) = 1.0 + (ZDef/) = 2.06
and ZCCC = -1(2.06) = -2.04

Calculating the Joint Likelihoods i,j
Asset returns are jointly normally distributed and covariance matrix is known, as is the joint density function f
For any given Z’s we can calculate the integral below and assume this is given by ‘Y’
[25.15] Pr(ZB <R<ZBB, Z’BB <R’<Z’BBB) = dR dR’ = Y%
‘Y’ is then the joint migration probability
We can repeat the above for all 8x8 possible joint migration probabilities

MCS
Find the cut-off points for different rated bonds
Now simulate the joint returns (with a known correlation) and associate these outcomes with a JOINT credit position.
Revalue the 2 bonds at these new ratings ~ this is the 1st MCS outcome, Vp
(1)
Repeat above many times and plot a histogram of Vp
Read off the 1% left tail cut-off point
Assumes asset return correlations reflect changing economic conditions, that influence credit migration

Notes: The Z’s are standard normal variates. For example, if the standardised asset return for firm-1 is –2.0 then thiscorresponds to a credit rating of BB. Hence if ZB R ZBB then the new credit rating is BB. If from run-1 of the MCS weobtain (standardised) returns of -2.0, -3.2 and +2.9 then the ‘new’ credit ratings of firm’s 1, 2 and 3 respectively would beBB, CCC and AAA respectively.

KMV Credit Monitor
Default model~ uses Merton’s , equity as a call option
Et = f(Vt, FB, v, r, T-t)
KMV derive a theoretical relationship between the unobservable volatility of the firm v and the observable stock return volatility E:
E = g (v)
Knowing FB, r, T-t and E we can solve the above two equations to obtain v.
Distance from default = std devn’s
If V is normally distributed, the ‘theoretical’ probability of default (i.e. of V < FB) is 2.5% (since 2 is the 95% confidence limit) and this is the required default frequency for this firm.

Uses Poisson to give default probabilities and mean default rate can vary with the economic cycle.
Assume bank has 100 loans outstanding and estimated 3% p.a. implying = 3 defaults per year.
Probability of n-defaults
p(0) = = 0.049, p(1) = 0.049, p(2) = 0.149, p(3) = 0.224…p(8) = 0.008 ~ humped shaped probability distribution (see figure 25.5).
Cumulative probabilities:p(0) = 0.049, p(0-1) = 0.199, p(0-2) = 0.423, … p(0-8) = 0.996“p(0-8)” indicates the probability of between zero and eight defaults in Take 8 defaults as an approximation to the 99th percentile Average loss given default LGD = $10,000 then:

Average loss given default LGD = $10,000 then:
Expected loss = (3 defaults) x $10,000 = $30,000
Unexpected loss (99th percentile) = p(8) x 100 x 10,000 = $80,000
Capital Requirement = Unexpected loss-Expected Loss = 80,000 - 30,000 = $50,000
PORTFOLIO OF LOANSBank also has another 100 loans in a ‘bucket’ with an average LGD = $20,000 and with = 10% p.a.
Repeat the above exercise for this $20,000 ‘bucket’ of loans and derive its (Poisson) probability distribution.
Then ‘add’ the probability distributions of the two buckets (i.e. $10,000 and $20,000) to get the probability distribution for the
portfolio of 200 loans (we ignore correlations across defaults here)

Explicitly model the link between the transition probability (e.g. p(C to D)) and an index of macroeconomic activity, y.
pit = f(yt) where i = “C to D” etc.
y is assumed to depend on a set of macroeconomic variables Xit (e.g. GDP, unemployment etc.)
Yt = g (Xit, vt) i = 1, 2, … nXit depend on their own past values plus other random errors it. It follows that:
pit = k (Xi,t-1, vt, it)
Each transition probability depends on past values of the macro-variables Xit and the error terms vt, it. Clearly the pit are correlated.

Monte Carlo simulation to adjust the empirical (or average) transition probabilities estimated from a sample of firms (e.g. as in CreditMetrics).
Consider one Monte Carlo ‘draw’ of the error terms vt, it (which embody the correlations found in the estimated equations for yt and Xit above).
This may give rise to a simulated probability pis = 0.25 of whereas
the historic (unconditional) transition probability might be p ih = 0.20 .
This implies a ratio of
ri = pis / pi
h = 1.25
Repeat the above for all initial credit rating states (i.e. i = AAA, AA, … etc.) and obtain a set of r’s.

Then take the (CreditMetrics type) historic 8 x 8 transition matrix Tt and multiply these historic probabilities by the appropriate ri so that we obtain a new ‘simulated ‘transition probability matrix, T.
Then revalue our portfolio of bonds using new simulated probabilities which reflect one possible state of the economy.
This would complete the first Monte Carlo ‘draw’ and give us one new value for the bond portfolio.
Repeating this a large number of times (e.g. 10,000), provides the whole distribution of gains and losses on the portfolio, from which we can ‘read off’ the portfolio value at the 1st percentile.
