10 Motivation: CDO pricing Pricing of a CDO requires one to compute expectations of the form E [ f(l t ) ] = f(x) P(L t dx), f complicated. [0,1] Goal: Model (τ 1,..., τ d ) such that... (1)... one can approximate P(L t dx) efficiently (without Monte Carlo). (2)... dependence between the τ k is (economically) intuitive.

34 Lévy Subordinators (1) A Lévy subordinator Λ = {Λ t } t 0 is a non-decreasing Lévy process, i.e. > Λ 0 = 0 and non-decreasing > independent and stationary increments > stochastically continuous Theorem: [Lévy 1937, Khinchin 1938] Λ Lévy subordinator Ψ : [0, ) [0, ) : E[e x Λ t ] = e t Ψ(x), x 0, t 0. Ψ is called Laplace exponent, concave, in C (0, ).

35 Lévy Subordinators (2) Example 1:(Compound Poisson subordinator) Λ t = µ t + N t i=1 Ψ(x) = µ x + E[N 1 ] ( 1 E[e x J 1 ] ) J i, N = {N t } t 0 Poisson process, {J i } i N i.i.d. > 0, Λ(t) (Compound Poisson with Drift) Λ(t) (Compound Poisson with Drift) Time t Time t

36 Lévy Subordinators (3) Example 2:(Inverse Gaussian subordinator) Λ t = inf{s > 0 : η s + W s = β t}, Ψ(x) = β ( 2 x + η2 η ) {W s } s 0 Brownian motion, Λ(t) (Inverse Gaussian) Λ(t) (Inverse Gaussian) Time t Time t

37 Lévy Subordinators (4) Example 3:(Stable subordinator) For α [0, 1] there exists a Lévy subordinator Λ with Ψ(x) = x 1 α Λ(t) (α stable) Λ(t) (α stable) Time t Time t

38 Lévy-frailty construction Main Theorem: > G = continuous distribution function,, G(0) = 0, G(t) < 1 for all t > 0.

39 Lévy-frailty construction Main Theorem: > G = continuous distribution function,, G(0) = 0, G(t) < 1 for all t > 0. > Λ = {Λ t } t 0 Lévy subordinator satisfying Ψ(1) = 1.

40 Lévy-frailty construction Main Theorem: > G = continuous distribution function,, G(0) = 0, G(t) < 1 for all t > 0. > Λ = {Λ t } t 0 Lévy subordinator satisfying Ψ(1) = 1. > {E k } k N i.i.d. with E 1 Exp(1), independent of Λ.

41 Lévy-frailty construction Main Theorem: > G = continuous distribution function,, G(0) = 0, G(t) < 1 for all t > 0. > Λ = {Λ t } t 0 Lévy subordinator satisfying Ψ(1) = 1. > {E k } k N i.i.d. with E 1 Exp(1), independent of Λ. Define: τ k := inf { t > 0 : Λ log(1 G(t)) > E k }, k N.

42 Lévy-frailty construction Main Theorem: > G = continuous distribution function,, G(0) = 0, G(t) < 1 for all t > 0. > Λ = {Λ t } t 0 Lévy subordinator satisfying Ψ(1) = 1. > {E k } k N i.i.d. with E 1 Exp(1), independent of Λ. Define: τ k := inf { t > 0 : Λ log(1 G(t)) > E k }, k N. Then: P(τ 1 > t 1,..., τ d > t d ) = C d ( 1 G(t1 ),..., 1 G(t d ) ), where C d is the survival copula of a certain Marshall-Olkin distribution.

43 Some Remarks G(t) = P(τ k t)= default probability at time t 0 (known beforehand).

44 Some Remarks G(t) = P(τ k t)= default probability at time t 0 (known beforehand). Above theorem constitutes a (proper) subclass of exch. Marshall-Olkin copulas.

46 Some Remarks G(t) = P(τ k t)= default probability at time t 0 (known beforehand). Above theorem constitutes a (proper) subclass of exch. Marshall-Olkin copulas. Is this alternative construction useful? Yes. Now we have a latent one-factor model: > G := σ(λ t : t 0) path of a Lévy subordinator. > (τ 1,..., τ d ) are i.i.d. conditioned on the latent factor G.

47 The Portfolio Loss Distribution Exact portfolio loss distribution: ( ) d m ( ) m P(L t = m) = ( 1) k (1 G(t)) Ψ(d+k m) m k k=0 Example: Ψ(x) = x 1 α, G(t) 26%, d = α= α= α=

48 Approximation of Portfolio Loss Corollary: As the portfolio size d, it holds that {L t } t [0,T ] L 2 { } 1 e Λ log(1 G(t)) t [0,T ].

49 Approximation of Portfolio Loss Corollary: As the portfolio size d, it holds that {L t } t [0,T ] L 2 In particular, provided Λ t has a density f Λt { } 1 e Λ log(1 G(t)) t [0,T ]. for all t > 0, we have that ( ) 1 f Lt (x) f Λ log(1 G(t)) log(1 x), x (0, 1). 1 x

50 Approximation of Portfolio Loss Corollary: As the portfolio size d, it holds that {L t } t [0,T ] L 2 In particular, provided Λ t has a density f Λt { } 1 e Λ log(1 G(t)) t [0,T ]. for all t > 0, we have that ( ) 1 f Lt (x) f Λ log(1 G(t)) log(1 x), x (0, 1). 1 x Thus, we can efficiently compute E [ f(l t ) ] = f(x) P(L t dx) [0,1] [0,1] f(x) f Λ log(1 G(t)) ( log(1 x) ) 1 1 x dx.

51 Inverse Gaussian density of the portfolio loss One-parametric Inverse Gaussian Lévy subordinator (parameter η > 0): ) ( ( f Lt (x) log(1 G(t)) η log(1 G(t)) log(1 G(t)) log 2 (1 x) 2 π ( 2+η 2 η) exp ( 2+η 2 η x) exp 2 ( log(1 x)) ( 2+η η2 log(1 x) 2 η) 2 2 ), x 0. density value η = 10 η = 1 η = loss percentage
