1 Credit Risk Modeling 1 Pricing Corporate Bonds Bonds rated by rating agencies such as Moody s and S&P Collect data on actively traded bonds Calculate a generic zero-coupon yield curve for each credit rating category Value a newly issued bond using the zero-coupon yield curve for that category Higher yield on a corporate bonds over that of a risk free bond is compensation for possible losses from default (Liquidity is also a factor) Use treasury curve or LIBOR zero curve as the risk free zero curve
2 Credit Risk Modeling 2 Computing Zero-Coupon Yield Curves n year Zero Rate r(n) : e nr(n) is the value of 1 unit of currency invested at the risk free rate for n years Pricing a Coupon yielding Bond Maturity Zero Rate Table 1: Treasury Zero Rates Present value of two year treasury bond with principal 100 that pays coupon at 6% per annum semiannually 3e e e e =98.39 Bond Yield: The yield on a coupon-bearing bond is the discount rate that equates the cash flows on the bond to its market value 3e y e y e y e y 2.0 =98.39 y =6.76%
3 Credit Risk Modeling 3 Determining Treasury Zero Rates Bond principal Maturity Annual coupon Bond price Table 2: Prices of Coupon Yielding Bonds 100 = 97.5e r(0.25) 0.25 r(0.25) = % r(0.5) = %, r(1.0) = % 4e e e r(1.5) 1.5 =96 r(1.5) = %
4 Credit Risk Modeling 4 Probability of Default: Quick Estimate y(t )(y (T )) : Yield on a T year corporate (risk-free) zero-coupon bond Q(T ): Probability that corporation will default between time zero and time T Recovery Rate R Proportion of claimed amount received in the event of default Value of the Bond [Q(T ) 100R +(1 Q(T )) 100]e y (T )T y(t )T = 100e e y (T )T e y(t )T = Q(T )(1 R)e y (T )T Q(T )= 1 e [y(t ) y (T )]T 1 R [y(t ) y (T )] : Spread Q(T ): Risk-Neutral Probability y(t ): Not observed Claim amount = Face Value + Accrued Interest
5 Credit Risk Modeling 5 Probability of Default: More Realistic Assumptions N coupon bearing bonds issued by the corporation being considered or by another corporation with roughly same probabilities of default Bond maturity times t 1 <t 2 < <t n q(t) :Default probability density B j : Price of the j th bond G j : Price of a risk free bond with same cash flow as the j th bond F j (t) :Forward price of the j th bond for a forward contract maturing at time t<t j assuming bond is default free v(t) :present value of 1 received at time t with certainty R j (t) :Recovery rate for default of j th bond at time t<t j
6 Credit Risk Modeling 6 G j B j = q(t) = N i=1 q i1 {ti 1 <t t i } tj 0 q(t)v(t)f j (t)(1 R j (t))dt β ij = ti t i 1 v(t)f j (t)(1 R j (t))dt Determine the q j s inductively q j = G j B j j 1 i=1 q iβ ij β jj Results can be extended to the case when recovery and interest rates are random but mutually independent and independent of default events A-Rated bond with 30% recovery rate and yield 70 basis points above the risk-free rate will give a p.d. of 5%. Historical default probability is only 0.57%. Credit ratings are revised relatively infrequently
7 Credit Risk Modeling 7 Credit Derivatives Credit Default Swaps CDS - Contract that provides Insurance against the risk of a default Total par value of the bond is called notional principal Cash settlement - (100 Z)% of notional principal, where Z is the mid market price some specified number of days after the credit event Physical delivery - Deliver the bonds in exchange for par value Example: Consider a 5 yr. CDS with notional principal 100 million entered on March 1, Buyer pays 90 basis points annually. No Default: Buyer pays 900, 000 on March 1 of each year from 2003 to 2007 Default event: Credit event on September 1, Buyer sells 100 million worth of bonds and receives 100 million and pays the accrued payment amount (approx. 450, 000)
8 Credit Risk Modeling 8 Example: CDS swaps allow companies to manage their credit risk actively. Suppose a bank has several millions dollars of loans outstanding to Enron on Jan Buy a 100 million 5-yr. CDS on Enron from market for 135 BP or 1.35 million per year. This would shift part of the bank s credit exposure to Enron. OR 2. Exchange part of the exposure to a company in a totally different industry Sell a five year 100 million CDS on Nissan for 1.25 million NetCost=100, 000 per year
9 Credit Risk Modeling 9 Valuation of CDS Assume notional to be 1 Assume that default events, interest rates and recovery rates are independent T : Life of credit default swap in years q t : Risk neutral probability of default at time t R(t) :Recovery rate when default happens at time t u(t) :present value of payments made at the rate of 1 per year on payment dates between 0 and t v(t) :present value of 1 received at time t w : Payments per year made by CDS buyer s : Value of w that causes the CDS to have a value of zero π : The risk neutral probability of no credit event during the life of the swap A(t) :Accrued interest on the reference obligation at time t as percent of face value
10 Credit Risk Modeling 10 Valuation of CDS T 0 [1 R(t)(1 + A(t))]q(t)v(t)dt w T 0 q(t)u(t)dt + wπu(t )= 0 Credit Default Swap Spread s = T 0 [1 R(t)(1 + A(t))]q(t)v(t)dt T q(t)u(t)dt + wπu(t ) 0
11 Credit Risk Modeling 11 Implying Default Probabilities from CDS Swaps Suppose CDS spreads for maturities t 1,t 2,...,t n are s 1,s 2,...,s n Assume default probability density q(t) = N i=1 q i1 {ti 1 <t t i } s i = i k=1 q tk k t k 1 [1 R(t)(1 A i (t))v(t)]dt i k=1 q tk k t k 1 u(t)dt + u(t i )[1 i k=1 q k(t k t k 1 )] δ k = t k t k 1, α k = tk t k 1 (1 R(t))v(t)dt β k,i = tk t k 1 A i (t)r(t)v(t)dt, γ k = tk t k 1 u(t)dt q i = s iu(t i )+ i 1 k=1 q k[s i (γ k u(t i )δ k ) α k + β k,i ] α i β i,i s i (γ i u(t i )δ i )
12 Credit Risk Modeling 12 Basket Credit Default Swaps Number of reference entities Add-up basket CDS - provides a payoff when any of the reference entities default portfolio of CDS, one for each entity First-to-default basket CDS - payoff only when the first reference entity defaults k th -to-default CDS - payoff only when the k th default happens Modeling Dependencies
13 Credit Risk Modeling 13 Modeling Dependencies via Copulas Joint distribution of default times Gaussian Copula F (t 1,t 2,...,t n )=C(F 1 (t 1 ),...,F n (t n )) C(u 1,...,u n )=N n (N 1 (u 1 ),...,N 1 (u n ); Γ) Simulation: Generate a realization of n correlated normal variables Z 1,...,Z n from N n ( ;Γ).

20 Credit Risk Modeling 20 Collateralized Debt Obligations CDO CDO is an asset backed security whose underlying collateral is typically a portfolio of corporate bonds or commercial loans It is a way of packaging credit risk Bank transfers the portfolio to an SPV and receives cash SPV issues fixed/floating rate notes to investors Notes are divided by order of seniority into tranches called equity tranche, mezzanine tranche(s) and senior tranche Investors receive the principal and interest from the portfolio in order of seniority
21 Credit Risk Modeling 21 Types of CDOs Cash Flow CDOs: Collateral portfolio is not subject to active trading. All uncertainty regarding interest and principal payments is determined by timing of defaults Market Value CDO: Payments based on mark-to-market returns. Economics of CDOs CDOs become attractive due to market imperfections arising due to regulatory capital requirements, low valuations due to lack of liquidity, etc.
22 Credit Risk Modeling 22 Two classes of CDOs Balance-sheet CDOs Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLO) removes loans from the banks balance sheet providing capital relief and improve valuations Synthetic balance sheet CLO No actual transfer of ownership due to client secrecy obligations or cost arising due to contractual restrictions. Use credit derivatives to transfer risk to the SPV Arbitrage CDOs Capture the difference in price due to lower cost of aquiring the collateral pool in the secondary market and the value received from management fees and sale of the CDO
