Components of Credit Risk

  • Arrival risk: Uncertainty whether a default will
  • ccur or not. Measured by the probability of default,

within a given time horizon, usually one year.

  • Timing risk: Uncertainty about the time of default.
  • Exposure risk: Relatively clear for loans or bonds

(face value, market value), greater uncertainty in the credit reinsurance business as primary insurers might have successfully decreased credit lines in advance.

  • Recovery risk: Uncertainty about the size of the loss

w.r.t. the exposure. Historical data show a large variability of recovery rate, depending on collateral, seniority of the bond, etc. Specified by conditional distribution of recovery rate given default occurred.

c April 24, 2006, U. Schmock, FAM, TU Vienna 7

Components of Credit Risk (Cont.)

  • Rating transition risk: Risk of changing market price
  • f a defaultable security due to a changed perception
  • f the market towards the timing or recovery risk

(without an actual default already happening). It often happens together with an up- or down-rating

  • f the creditworthiness by a rating agency.
  • Default correlation risk: Risk of several obligors

defaulting together; leads to substantial losses even in well diversified portfolios. Defaults in investment- grade rating classes are rare, hence it is hard to collect data to estimate the dependence of defaults.

Time Series versus Default Modelling Time series modelling (e.g. exchange rates)

  • Collect data for a long time (e.g. CHF/US-$).
  • Assume stationarity of stochastic behaviour,

fit a suitable model (random walk, GARCH, etc.) and make predictions about the future. Default modelling

  • Observing a firm until today doesn’t give a default
  • bservation (→ observation bias).
  • Solution: Observe a group of firms,

draw conclusions for a specific firm.

  • Problems: Relevance of data for the specific firm?

When are firms similar w.r.t. creditworthiness?

Credit Ratings for Bonds A credit rating is a current opinion of an obligor’s

  • verall financial capacity (its creditworthiness) to pay

its financial obligations. Standard & Poor’s Investor Services Investment grade: AAA, AA, A, BBB Speculative: BB, B, CCC, CC, C (D = Default) AA–B: + = above, − = below average in rating class Moody’s Investor Services Investment grade: Aaa, Aa, A Speculative: Baa, Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C Aa–B: 1 = above, 2 = at, 3 = below average in rating class

Different Assumptions for the Recovery Recovery of face value: ϕt = 1 − Lt The creditor receives a (possible random) fraction of the face value 1 immediately upon default. Recovery of treasury: ϕt = (1 − Lt)P(t, T) The creditor receives a (possible random) fraction of a corresponding default-free government bond. Recovery of market value (RMV): EQ[ϕt+1|Ft] = (1 − Lt) EQ[Vt+1|Ft] The expected recovery is a (random) fraction of the expected market value in case of no default.

Introduction to CreditRisk+, Features

  • Developed by Credit Suisse Financial Products.
  • Actuarial model for the aggregation of credit risks.
  • Based on the Poisson approximation of individual de-

faults and the divisibility of the Poisson distribution.

  • Takes exposures/recovery rates into account.
  • Several independent risk factor for dependence of

default frequencies can be considered.

  • Probability generating function ϕL of the credit

portfolio loss L is available in closed form.

c April 24, 2006, U. Schmock, FAM, TU Vienna 23

Extensions of CreditRisk+

  • Stochastic losses of individual obligors are allowed,

distribition may depend on the risk factor.

  • Risk groups with dependent stochastic losses given

default are possible.

  • Risk factors for default frequencies may be dependent.
  • Risk contributions of obligors can be calculated.
  • Even with all the extensions, the probability

generating function ϕL of the credit portfolio loss L is available in closed form.

  • Distribution of L and risk contributions can be calcu-

lated from ϕγ,L with a numerically stable algorithm.

Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel II”)

Variances and Covariances in Mixture Models Lemma: If X and Y are square integrable random variables on a probability space (Ω, A, P) and B ⊂ A a sub-σ-algebra, then Cov(X, Y ) = E[Cov(X, Y |B)] + Cov(E[X |B], E[Y |B]) and Var(X) = E[Var(X |B)] + Var(E[X |B])

Observations . . .

  • Already the Bernoulli model with independent loss

indicators has far too many terms for the calculation

  • f the portfolio loss distribution in the general case.
  • In the general Bernoulli mixture model, individual

terms are too complicated to compute numerically.

  • Different exposures and recovery rates are not even

considered. . . . and Conclusions

  • Simplifying assumptions are necessary.
  • Approximations need to be considered.

Remark: If P(X ≤ qδ(X)) = δ, in particular if the distribution function R ∋ x → P(X ≤ x) of X is also left-continuous at x = qδ(X), then ESδ[X] = E[X |X > qδ(X)].

Introduction to Operational Risk: The Regulatory Framework and the Data Quantification of operational risk of financial institutions gained importance due to the Basel II accord (column 1) for capital requirements. Famous Examples for Operational Losses

  • Bankruptcy of the British Barings Bank in 1995
  • The terror attacks on the World Trade Center

in New York City on September 11th, 2001.

c April 24, 2006, U. Schmock, FAM, TU Vienna 73

The Nature of Operational Losses

  • Operational losses may occur frequently

with low impact

  • Also rare events with high impact occur,

this calls for the application of methods from extreme value theory.

  • Difference between operational risk and credit or

market risk: there is no chance for profit.

  • Operational risk comes along with any process
  • f a bank’s business despite of all efforts

to avoid malfunctions.

c April 24, 2006, U. Schmock, FAM, TU Vienna 74

Possible Approaches to Operational Risk Modelling The Basel committee defined three approaches towards the quantification of operational risk. The two simple

  • nes define concrete formulae for the risk capital,

namely

  • Basic indicator approach (BIA).
  • Standardized approach (SA).

To reduce supervisory capital needs, an individual

  • Advanced measurement approach (AMA)

can be chosen.

c April 24, 2006, U. Schmock, FAM, TU Vienna 75

Business Lines for Operational Risk

  • Eight business lines in the standardized approach:

(5) Payment & settlement, (1) Corporate finance, (6) Agency services, (2) Trading & sales, (7) Asset management, (3) Retail banking, (8) Retail brokerage. (4) Commercial banking,

  • These business lines also serve as categories

for an advanced measurement approach.

  • Execution, delivery & process management

c April 24, 2006, U. Schmock, FAM, TU Vienna 77

Remarks on Operational Loss Data

  • Usually little data on operational risk is available.
  • Estimation of frequent losses

can probably be managed using internal data.

  • For rare events causing high losses,
  • ften external data has to be used.
  • Attention: observed reporting bias

(increasing frequency of losses) coming from the rising awareness of the importance to collect operational risk data.

c April 24, 2006, U. Schmock, FAM, TU Vienna 78

Moscadelli’s Study of Operational Loss Data Moscadelli1 found that

  • severity distributions are heavy-tailed,
  • six business lines (among the eight mentioned

before) yield estimations of distributions with infinite mean. This causes problems when calculating risk measures (expected shortfall gives infinity).

Application of Extended CreditRisk+ Methodology to Operational Risk: Reinterpretation of the Credit Risk Notation

  • Number m of obligors → number of business lines

(m = 8 for the ones given in the Basel commitee’s document is an appropriate choice).

  • Basic loss unit E stays the same (E = 10 000).
  • Number K of non-ideosyncratic risk factors

→ number of loss types (K = 7 for above list).

  • Numbers σ2

k > 0 denote the relative variance of

  • ccurrences of losses of type k ∈ {1, . . . , K}.
  • G contains the subsets of all business lines which

can incur a loss due to the same event.

stochastic losses of the business lines i ∈ g in case an operational loss event of type k ∈ {0, . . . , K} hits the group g of business lines. Operational Risk Management With the adoption of the extended CreditRisk+ model for operational risk, a risk manager can

  • calculate the distribution of the operational loss,
  • calculate risk measures such as value-at-risk and

expected shortfall (might be infinity)

  • and identify risky business lines and groups by their

risk contribution (in case of finite expected shortfall).
