Portfolo Loss Dstrbuton

Commtment A commtment s an amount the bank has commtted to lend. Should the borrower encounter fnancal dffcultes, t would draw on ths commtted lne of credt.

Fttng of loss dstrbuton The two statstcal measures about the credt ortfolo are ortfolo exected loss; ortfolo unexected loss.

Generaton of correlated default events Generate a set of random numbers drawn from a standard normal dstrbuton. Perform a decomoston (Cholesky, SVD or egenvalue) on the asset correlaton matrx to transform the ndeendent set of random numbers (stored n the vector e ) nto a set of correlated asset values (stored n the vector e ). Here, the transformaton matrx s M, where e M e. The covarance matrx and M are related by M T M.
Calculaton of the default ont The default ont threshold, DP, of the th oblgor can be defned as DP N 1 (EDF, 0, 1). The crteron of default for the th oblgor s default f e < ' DP no default f e ' DP.

Features of ortfolo rsk The varablty of default rsk wthn a ortfolo s substantal. The correlaton between default rsks s generally low. The default rsk tself s dynamc and subject to large fluctuatons. Default rsks can be effectvely managed through dversfcaton. Wthn a well-dversfed ortfolo, the loss behavor s characterzed by lower than exected default credt losses for much of the tme, but very large losses whch are ncurred nfrequently.
