问一道题:NO.PZ2016082406000007

问题如下:

A portfolio consists of two bonds. The credit VAR is defined as the maximum loss due to defaults at a confidence level of 98% over a one-year horizon. The probability of joint default of the two bonds is 1.27%, and the default correlation is 30%. The bond value, default probability, and recovery rate are USD 1,000,000, 3%, and 60% for one bond, and USD 600,000, 5%, and 40% for the other. What is the expected credit loss of the portfolio?

选项:

A.

USD 0

B.

USD 9,652

C.

USD 20,348

D.

USD 30,000

解释:

ANSWER: D

The ECL is for the first bond 1,000,000×3%×(160%)=12,0001,000,000\times3\%\times{(1-60\%)}=12,000, and for the second 600,000×5%×(140%)=18,000600,000\times5\%\times{(1-40\%)}=18,000. This adds up to $30,000. Note that this number does not depend on the default correlation.

这一题用joint probability应该怎么求?

同学你好,

这道题不需要用到joint probability,如果非要用的话,结果也是一样的,如下所示:

(1)若X违约,则损失为1*40%=0.4m

(2)若Y违约,则损失为0.6*60%=0.36m

接下来算ECL,

(1)仅X违约,Y不违约 概率为3%-1.27%=1.73%,损失为1.73%*0.4m=6920

(2)仅Y违约,X不违约 概率为5%-1.27%=3.73%,损失为3.73%*0.36m=13428

(3)X、Y同时违约,概率为1.27%,损失为1.27%*(0.4+0.36)m=9652

ECL=6920+13428+9652=30000
