  1. Risk Measurement and Management Week 12 –November 9, 2006

  2. Cash Flows in Credit Default Swap

  3. Expected Cost of Default • Exposure • Probability of default • Estimated based on option pricing • KMV approach • Use of Moody’s historical data • Probability of default each period • Payment of fee in case of non-default

  4. CEU using KMV (Simplified) • CEU 2002 (billions) Market value of long-term debt = $ 4.1Book value of current liabilities = 2.0 Total value of liabilities = $ 6.1 Market value of equity 6.8 Market value of assets = $12.9 Estimated standard deviation of change in market value* = 54% • Market value  standard deviation of percent change = $7.0 billion * Derived from LEAPs table

  5. Default Point • Estimated default point assumed to midway between book value of current liabilities and long-term debt • Book value of CEU long-term debt is $5.0 billion and current liabilities $ 2 billion • Default point estimated to be $ 6.0 billion • We do not have KMV estimates based on historical data to fine-tune this estimate of default

  6. Estimated Distance to Default Market value to default point = $6.9 $7 $12.9 $2.0 CL CL+LTD TMV Default point (estimated as midpoint) = $6

  7. Simplified KMV Approach Freqency Probability of Default = 16.2% .985* Value $6 Billion $12.9 Billion

  8. More Likely Alternative • Moody’s two-year default rate for B2 rated bonds is .137 • At the end of two years, .863 or 86.3 of the bonds have not defaulted • As an estimate of the six-month default rate, we can use:

  9. Default Swap Pricing • Present value of expected fees (paid if no default) = present value of expected losses in case of default • Risk-free rate appropriate assuming risk-neutrality (generally assumed in derivative pricing) • Solution sensitive to all estimates

  10. Estimates: Expected Cash Flows

  11. Calculation of Fee • Present value of default payments equal to present value of fees: • Fee therefore (under these assumptions) is $ 314,850 every six months • Net return to Charles Bank on loan is 9.8% on $50 million minus $619,700 per year, equivalent to an annual rate of 8.54%

  12. FAB and CEU Credit Risk • What are choices? • Retain risk • Portfolio implications • Why not enter a swap arrangement with the hedge funds or lower-rated bank? • What would be characteristics in terms of cash flows and risk of a credit-linked note?

  13. For Next Classes • Start research in order to have good questions for our visits to San Francisco financial firms • We will discuss Chapters 23 and 24 on November 16 and the Basel II case • There is no class Thanksgiving week, our last class is November 30
