问题如下:
There is a bond portfolio consisted with two bonds. bond A and bond B .The values of bond A and bond B are $60 millions and $40 millions respectively. The one-year probabilities of default and the recovery rate of bond A are 5% and 60% respectively, while for bond B are 7% and 50%. Calculate the one-year expected credit loss of this portfolio. Give an assumption that the probability of joint default is 0.7% and the default correlation is 20%.
what is the best estimate of the credit VaR at a 98% confidence level?
选项:
A. USD 17,400,000
B. USD 21,400,000
C. USD 41,400,000
D. USD 44,000,000
解释:
B is correct.
考点:Credit VaR
解析:
Bond A 违约的损失是60*(1-60%)=24 million
Bond B违约的损失是40*(1-50%)=20million
A、 B同时违约的概率是 0.7% 24+40=44 million
Bond A 违约但是bond B不违约的概率是 5%-0.5%=4.5%
Bond B违约但是bond A不违约的概率是7%-0.5%=6.5%
根据谨慎性原则 98% confidence WCL=24million
credit VaR=24-2.6=21.4 million
为什么计算单一违约的时候,用A或B的违约概率减去0.5%?这个0.5%是哪里算来的呢
