2 Introduction
3 How did Value-At-Risk perform during the current crisis? Strong perception that most risk models and all VaR models of banks failed It is true that many large banks reporting a few hundred million dollars of VaR to the Federal Reserve and other regulators, ended up with billions of dollars of losses Banks PL exceeded their VaR levels far in excess of the confidence level But Page 3
4 How did Value-At-Risk perform during the current crisis? But this disastrous failure was due to one mistake of historic proportions: treating subprime CDOs as risk-free bonds In most trading departments risk monitoring and control remained perfectly adequate We will take a look at how hundreds of real life hedge fund portfolios and hundreds of dummy portfolios behaved We will show that risk model designed BEFORE the current crisis sustained the various systemic chocks of this crisis fairly well Page 4
5 A Multi-Asset / Multi-Layer Model
6 Cross Product Margining for Hedge Funds Hedge Funds might have ratings (SP, Moody s) But Hedge Funds do not issue bonds, so their credit risk can not be hedged! (A few exceptions: i.e. Citadel) Solution: expect the worst possible outcome at some confidence level Hedge Funds have to post a daily margin including: Mark-to-market changes (Variation margin) n-day, high confidence level (99% or higher) portfolio Value-At- Risk (VaR) or Expected Shortfall (ES) Liquidity spreads => mostly trading desk inputs (i.e. CDOs bid-ask, hedged vs. non-hedged) Page 6
7 Modeling Challenges Large number of market factors: several thousands across Fixed Income, FX, Credit, EM, and MBS For options risk is no longer linear => we need to use Monte-Carlo simulation (and try to avoid full repricing ) A lot of missing data (Credit, EM) => completion algorithm (EMRidge) Time window: Flat VaR (10 years) versus Dynamic VaR (3-6 months) Correlation stressing and fat tail adjustment Multiple VaR components: Market, Default, Liquidity, Concentration, etc Page 7
8 Using different statistical regimes Two types of covariance matrices are generated: Flat matrix: using a back window of equally weighted data accreting from Jan 1997 to today Dynamic matrix: using exponentially weighted data with a decay coefficient of, say, 0.99 The Market VaR is the maximum VaR obtained under these 2 methods. This is to ensure that VaR increases quickly in case of volatile markets (dynamic effect), but decreases slowly when markets are quiet (flat effect) Page 8
9 Adjusting for fat tails We assume that the conditional distribution of market factor changes is normal However, the volatility at time t is adjusted such that the cumulative normal distribution exactly matches the historical distribution at a certain percentile. In effect, we scale the volatility so that the resultant VaR equals the historical VaR (HVaR) To be more conservative, we scale the volatility to the maximum HVaR calculated for both positive and negative moves (i.e. to both sides of the distribution). The fat tail perturbation is done sequentially on overlapping blocks of data. For instance block 1 could include USD Libor, Treasury and Agency, block 2 most foreign Libor and sovereign curves The algorithm starts with block 1, computes its principal components, constructs time series of the principal components, bumps the standard deviation of each principal component to match its historical percentile, and reconstructs the original time series Page 9 Then we move to block 2 and do the same, etc until the last block is done. Some of the blocks are overlapping in order to stress crosscorrelations
10 Market VaR for Credit Products Scope: single name corporate bonds, CDS, Loans, LCDS, CDS/Loans indices, sovereign bonds, CDOs Choose a model which can be calibrated to a cross-section of liquid instruments, i.e. via maximum likelihood estimation Prefer lognormal or shifted lognormal dynamics => more reactive to market moves Need for industry / sector specific factors Need to model all the basis spreads between bonds, CDS, Loans, LCDS Need for idiosyncratic factors Page 10
11 Default C-VaR / ES for Credit Products Need to account for jump to junk more than jump to default: default usually occurs when prices have more or less converged to the recovery value The default VaR for a corporate credit portfolio is taken to be the conditional expected loss due to defaults at a high percentile (say 99.9%): CVaR CVaR is a function of default probabilities for each issuer, the positive net loss given default aggregated by issuer and the sufficient parameters of the copula linking defaults among the issuers; the correlation parameters used are reviewed periodically to ensure they are in line with the base correlation for synthetic equity tranches for CDX and Itraxx investment grade indices The initial calculation of a conditional VaR at the 99.9th percentile confidence interval is motivated by the high skewness of the portfolio loss distribution, given that defaults are by their nature infrequent events on a few days/weeks horizon Page 11
12 Default C-VaR / ES for Credit Products (Con d) Two separate calculations are performed to determine portfolio loss distribution for default risk adjustment The first calculation uses historical long-term default frequencies and recovery rates based on issuers' Senior Unsecured obligations ratings The second uses implied hazard rates obtained from issuers' current short term market CDS levels In both calculations, these are used to establish issuers' individual default probabilities The copula model is then used to compute the conditional expected loss. Numerically the calculation uses the iterative method described in All your hedges in one basket by Andersen, Basu and Sidenius, Risk, November, 2003, pages Page 12
13 Backtesting
14 Constructing Test Portfolios Scope of products: interest rates derivatives, FX forwards and options, sovereign credit, corporate credit About 1,300 hedge fund portfolios and dummy portfolios (long, steepening / flattening, butterflies, vol trades, FX trades, etc) Specific credit strategies: stressed credit names vs. CDXIG8 CDXIG 3y vs. 5y CDXHY 3y vs. 5y Single names Page 14
15 Backtesting results for Market VaR The 1,300 portfolios were backtested over 12 years Model output is compared to 5-day PL changes Over 12 years: The average number of exceptions is 0.5% The average shortfall is 30.6% of model output Over the last 2 years: The average number of exceptions is 0.9% The average shortfall is 32.2% of model output Page 15

21 Stress Tests
22 Page 22 Stress Tests Common opinion goes something like this: VaR models can shoot in many directions but often miss their target; stress tests are good at reaching their targets, but a limited number of them and are often more transparent There is, in fact, no contradiction, no fundamental difference between these two approaches: they just focus on different parts of the portfolio tail distribution Conditional stress tests in particular require the same amount of information as VaR models But the key difficulty with stress tests is: what weights apply to them? Quants/rating agencies/regulators knew very well that the US housing market could collapse, but they had very limited means to extract probabilities from market prices
23 Extreme Value Theory
24 EVT Methodology Our univariate model for VaR is portfolio-specific. We use a 2- step method: PL t = σ t Z t 1 st step: estimate conditional volatility σ t : (1,1) σ t2 = a + b σ t-12 + c (PL t-1 ) 2 2 nd step: estimate quantile on Z t ~ i.i.d.(0,1), using various techniques : HS (historical simulation) L-estimators N (Normal): Φ -1 (0.99) EVT (Extreme Value Theory): developed to measure the probability of extreme events various econometric techniques to estimate the Generalized Pareto Distribution: Hill estimator, Maximum Likelihood MLE, Proba-Weighted Moments PWM Page 24
25 Testing the VaR model 1. Backtesting VaR on real PL: compare EVT to current model used for hedge fund margining; and to HS- and L- estimators 2. Backtesting VaR on returns on SP, Foreign Currencies, Commodities Page 25
26 Backtesting of Real Portfolios Assessment of each VaR model, based on: Exceptions Losses upon exception A measure of ES fit Implemented for 198 actual portfolios, over the last 10 years: Available history starts on Jan. 9, 1997 We estimate VaR and Expected Shortfall (ES) from May 1, 2001 until July 11, 2007 We compare VaR 99 against PL for 1,630 dates: we therefore expect ~16 exceptions Page 26

33 Loss Allocation
34 Loss Allocation between trading divisions If a Hedge Fund defaults and losses occur in excess of the margin amount, how do we allocate the losses across several trading desks? Same problem as for capital allocation Pro-rata allocation method: P n = i i i= 1 i Si Allocation( S ) = VaR( S ) / VaR( S ) i Loss Marginal VaR approach: n P = S i= 1 Allocation( S ( P, S )/VaR( P) Loss i i ) = MargVaR i Page 34
35 Loss Allocation between trading divisions (Con d) No clear approach: should we reward a desk which happens to mitigate the bank s risk, most likely by chance? Indeed two desks could have large and almost offsetting positions, with CVaR of say 100MM and -99MM, for a resulting VaR of 1MM: in this case, loss allocation would be extreme / arbitrary Because portfolio tail risk can t be hedged away, all parameters of the model are questionable: they are not implied from the market A possible idea is to allocate losses based on a (ex-ante) recalibrated model Page 35
36 Loss Allocation between trading divisions (Con d) Pragmatic approach: Considering the sub-portfolio (P*) of all the desks with negative PL, we perturb the VaR model by bumping up all the volatility parameters of all the risk factors by a single number, so that the resulting VaR for the sub-portfolio matches the original portfolio VaR plus the money owed to the counterparty: VaR(P*, sigma*) = VaR(P, sigma) + payables The allocation is obtained by taking the Component VaR in the perturbed model. By definition, the sum of the component VaRs is equal to the total VaR: VaR ( P*, sigma*) = CVaR( P*, sigma*) i i VaR( Note that the Component VaR is defined as: CVaR( P) = Any resulting gain to a trading desk will be reallocated to the losing desks according to the method above i w i P) w i Page 36
37 Loss Allocation between trading divisions (Con d) Suppose the VaR margin collected from a hedge fund is $100MM, and they default on a MTM call for $120MM, with $180MM of receivables and $60MM of payables Desks which owe money to the counterparty won t be affected by the loss of $20MM Desks with losses (say desk 1 with $100MM and desk 2 with $80MM) will be allocated $160MM (the VaR plus the payables), by bumping the volatility parameters so that VaR (desk 1 + desk 2, sigma*) = $160MM Case 1: the Component VaRs for desk 1 and desk 2 are respectively $95MM and $65MM, we will allocate a loss of $5MM to desk 1 and a loss of $15MM to desk 2 Case 2: the Component VaRs for desk 1 and desk 2 are respectively $110MM and $50MM, we will allocate a loss of $30MM to desk 2, and instead of giving $10MM to desk 1, reallocate that amount to desk 2, which will incur a total loss of $20MM Page 37
38 A few conclusions
39 A few conclusions Beyond risk owned by the bank, it is important to understand the overall risk profile of the hedge fund even if only NAV returns are available Main model proposed here performed well, even in the current crisis EVT approach is limited: not a factor approach and therefore highly relying on historical data Heavy tailed multivariate distributions (such as T-distribution) are very difficult to handle in a high dimension space A more practical approach would be a regime switching model / mixture of normals: yet, it is not easy to define a stable and parsimonious set of regimes across thousand of market factors Page 39
