3 Factor based copulas CDO valuaton, credt rsk assessment Only need of loss dstrbutons for dfferent tme horzons Aggregate loss at tme t on a gven portfolo: L(t) Margnal loss dstrbuton for tme horzon t l ( l) = Q( L( t l) F ) L( t ) VaR and quantle based rsk measures for rsk assessment F L ( t )( α ) v( α ) dα 0 Prcng of CDOs only nvolve optons on aggregate loss K attachment detachment ponts [( L( t K) + ] E Q ) 3

4 Factor based copulas Modellng approaches Drect modellng of L(t) : collectve model Dealng wth heterogeneous portfolos non statonary, non Markovan Aggregaton of portfolos, bespoke portfolos? Rsk management of correlaton rsk? Modellng of default ndcators of names: ndvdual model L Numercal approaches n ( t) = LGD τ t = e.g. smoothng of base correlaton of lqud tranches 4

5 Factor based copulas Indvdual model / factor based copulas Allows to deal wth non homogeneous portfolos Arbtrage free prces non standard attachment detachment ponts Non standard maturtes Consstent prcng of bespoke, CDO 2, zero-coupon CDOs Computatons Sem-explct prcng, computaton of Greeks, LHP But Poor dynamcs of aggregate losses (forward startng CDOs) Rsk management, credt deltas, theta effects Calbraton onto lqud tranches (matchng the skew) 5

6 Factor based copulas Factor approaches to jont default tmes dstrbutons: V: low dmensonal factor Condtonally on V, default tmes are ndependent. Condtonal default and survval probabltes: Why factor models? Tackle wth large dmensons (-Traxx, CDX) Need of tractable dependence between defaults: Parsmonous modellng Sem-explct computatons for CDO tranches Large portfolo approxmatons 6

7 Factor based copulas Sem-explct prcng for CDO tranches Laurent & Gregory [2003] Default payments are based on the accumulated losses on the pool of credts: n Lt () = LGD, LGD = N( δ) = { τ t} Tranche premums only nvolve call optons on the accumulated losses E ( L() t K ) + Ths s equvalent to knowng the dstrbuton of L(t) 7

8 Factor based copulas Characterstc functon: By condtonng upon V and usng condtonal ndependence: Dstrbuton of L(t) can be obtaned by FFT Smlar approaches: recurson, nverson of Laplace transforms Only need of condtonal default probabltes V p t p t V losses on a large homogeneous portfolo Approxmaton technques for prcng CDOs 8

9 Comparatve analyss of CDO prcng models 2 One factor Gaussan copula Orderng of rsks, Base correlaton correlaton senstvtes Stochastc recovery rates 3 Model dependence/choce of copula Student t, double t, Clayton, Marshall-Olkn, Stochastc correlaton Dstrbuton of condtonal default probabltes 4 Beyond the Gaussan copula Stochastc correlaton and state dependent correlaton Margnal and local correlaton 9

11 2 One factor Gaussan copula Equty tranche premums are decreasng wrt ρ General result (use of stochastc orders theory) Equty tranche premum s always decreasng wth correlaton parameter Guarantees unqueness of «base correlaton» Monotoncty propertes extend to Student t, Clayton and Marshall-Olkn copulas

12 2 One factor Gaussan copula ρ = 00% Equty tranche premums decrease wth correlaton Does ρ = 00% correspond to some lower bound? ρ = 00% corresponds to «comonotonc» default dates: ρ = 00% s a model free lower bound for the equty tranche premum ρ = 0% Does ρ = 0% correspond to the hgher bound on the equty tranche premum? ρ = 0% corresponds to the ndependence case between default dates The answer s no, negatve dependence can occur Base correlaton does not always exsts 2
