9 Copula Credit Portfolio Model In the current copula function approach to credit, we start with creating individual credit curves independently from each other and the rest of the market. The credit curve can be described by its survival time distribution with distribution function, Fi (t), and the density function, fi (t). Then we simply use a copula function C(u 1, u 2,..., u n ) to combine the marginal distribution functions, and claim that F (t 1, t 2,..., t n ) = C(F 1 (t 1 ), F 2 (t 2 ),..., F n (t n )) as the joint risk neutral distribution of τ 1, τ 2,..., τ n.

10 Current Market Practice We use one correlation Gaussian copula function along with base correlation method. One correlation Gaussian copula function F (t 1,..., t n ) = Φ n ( Φ 1 (F 1 (t 1 )), Φ 1 (F 2 (t 2 )),..., Φ 1 (F n (t n )); ρ ) David X.

34 Merton Model (1974) The firm s asset value V t is specified to be GBM under the P measure. That is dv (t) V (t) = µdt + σdw t (1) The distance of default is defined as follows: X (t) = log [V (t)] log(d) σ X (t) is a Brownian motion with a unit variance parameter and a constant drift of m = (µ σ2 2 )/σ. Under the Merton model the default occurs at the maturity date T if (2) q(t ) = P [X (T ) 0] = Φ [B(T )] (3) where B(T ) = X (0) + mt T (4) David X. Li Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance (SAIF) Shanghai Theoretical JiaotongProblems University(SJTU) in Credit Portfolio Modeling 22
35 Merton Model (1974) Under risk neutral distribution we have µ = r. The risk neutral default probability using the Merton model is the same as equation (3) with the change of m to m = (r σ2 2 )/σ. That is, q (T ) = P [X (T ) 0] = Φ [B (T )] (5) where B (T ) = X (0) + m T T (6) David X. Li Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance (SAIF) Shanghai Theoretical JiaotongProblems University(SJTU) in Credit Portfolio Modeling 23
36 Default Probability: Physical Measure and Risk Neutral Measure From (3) and (5), the relationship between the risk neutral and nature or physical default probabilities is give as follows: ( q (T ) = Φ Φ 1 [q(t )] + µ r ) T. σ So the general relationship between the CDF functions under two measures is as follow: ( F (t) = Φ Φ 1 [F (t)] + µ r ) t.

43 Bühlmann Theorem Bühlmann (1980) studied a risk exchange problem among a set of agents. Each agent has an exponential utility function u(w) = e λ i w for i = 1, 2,..., m and faces a risk of potential loss X j. In the equilibrium model, Bühlmann obtained the equilibrium pricing formula: π(x ) = E [ηx ], η = e λx E [e λx ], (9) where Z = m i=1 X i is the aggregate risk and λ is given by λ 1 = m i=1 λ 1 i, λ j > 0. (10) The parameter λ can be interpreted as the risk aversion index for a representative agent in the economy. David X.
