1 Credit Risk using Time Changed Brownian Motions Tom Hurd Mathematics and Statistics McMaster University Joint work with Alexey Kuznetsov (New Brunswick) and Zhuowei Zhou (Mac) 2nd Princeton Credit Conference 2008 Structural Credit Models Time Changed Brownian Motion t (2) Approximates t Models Using TCBMs Multifirm Modeling Conclusions

2 Structural Credit Model: Black-Cox 1976 A time-consistent modification of Merton s 1974 model: 1. Value of a firm: V t ; 2. Moving debt barrier: K(t); 3. Log-leverage ratio: X t = 1 σ log(v t/k(t)); 4. Default of firm occurs at t, the first time X t 0; 5. Zero recovery defaultable bond price: B(x, T ) = E Q x [e rt 1 {t >T }] = e rt (1 P (x, t)) 6. Here P (x, t) is risk-neutral probability of default before t, starting with X 0 = x. Multifirm Default Dynamics: Black-Cox 1976

3 First Passage Problems If X t is a time homogeneous Markov jump-diffusion we ll need to solve X t = min s t X s. 1. First passage t is the stopping time t = inf{t X t 0}. 2. We want to compute functions like the CDF of t P (x, t) = P [t t X 0 = x] = E x [1 {Xt 0]}] and the joint PDF for (t, X t +) p(x, y, t)dydt = P [t (t, t + dt), X t + (y, y + dy) X 0 = x] Known Results on First Passage 1. Exact formula for drifting Brownian motion X t = x + W t + βt, x, y > 0: ( ) ( ) x βt x + βt P (x, t; β) = N + e 2βx N t t 2. First passage for diffusions is a rich area of probability, with spectral and PDE methods. 3. Exact formulas exist for Kou-Wang jump-diffusion model, and certain other phase-type jump-diffusions; 4. Various identities (eg Wiener-Hopf factorization) can be used to compute other special cases, such as processes with one-sided jumps.

4 TCBM: Time Changed Brownian Motion We consider the special case when X t = x + W Tt + βt t, where the time change T t is a non-decreasing process, independent of the drifting Brownian motion W t + βt. 1. Most of the favourite Lévy models in finance, such as Kou-Wang, VG, NIG, hyperbolic, can be written as TCBMs. In these cases T is itself a Lévy process. 2. For example, the Variance Gamma (VG) model arises by taking T t to be a gamma process. 3. Stochastic volatility models (with a zero correlation condition) can also be written as TCBM. For example, the zero correlation Heston model has T t CIR. A sample path of Lévy time change T t

6 First passage times for TCBMs 1. The usual first passage time: t = inf{t X t 0} 2. First passage time of the second kind: t (2) = inf{t T t τ } where τ = inf{t x + W t + βt 0} 3. t (2) is relatively easy to compute: P (2) (x, t) = E x [E[1 {τ g} T t = s]] = 0 P (x, s)ρ t (ds) Schematic Figure: Three sample Brownian paths with first passage at t 0.

7 Schematic Figure: Three sample Brownian paths with first passage at t 0, and a sample time change path that first crosses t 0 at time s 0. Computing t (2) When T t is a Lévy subordinator with known PDF ρ t (z) and Laplace exponent ψ(u) := 1 t log E[e ut t ]. 1. Probability of first passage before time t is: P (2) (x, t) = E[P [τ g T t = g]] = = 1 e βx π 0 P (x, z)ρ t (dg) w sin(xw) w 2 + β 2 e ψ((w2 +β 2 )/2,t) dw. 2. Robust and fast to compute using the Fast Fourier Transform.

8 t (2) Approximates t Theorem (A Kuznetsov and TH) For any β 0 and Lévy subordinator G: 1. The sequence of stopping times defined by s 1 (x) = t (2) (x) s n (x) = s 1 (x)1 {Xs 1 (x)+ 0}+s n 1 (X s 1 (x)+)1 {Xs 1 (x)+ >0}, n 2 converges a.s to t. 2. The joint PDF for (t, X t ) solves p(x, y, t) = p(x, y, t)1 y<0 + [0, ) 2 dzds p(x, z, s)p(z, y, t s) and the solution by iteration converges in the L 1 -norm. Computing PDF of t 1. Joint PDF p(x 0, x 1, s) of (t (2), X t (2)) is given by 2e β(x 1 x 0 ) π 2 PV dk 1 dk 2 (R + ) 2 k 2 cos x 1 k 1 sin x 0 k 2 k1 2 e sψ((k2 1 +β2 )/2) ψ((k k β 2 )/2) 2 2. This is a 2-dim Fourier Transform. 3. We solve for PDF of t, p(x, t) by iterating p n (x 0, t) = 0 p(x 0, y, t)dy+ [0, ) 2 dzds p(x 0, z, s)p n 1 (z, t s) 4. Faster than PIDE methods and much faster than Monte Carlo.

9 PDF of t for the VG TCBM Figure: The density of the VG first passage time for two sets of parameters. The circles show the exact result; the three solid lines show the first three approximations. Models Using TCBMs Numerous modeling avenues are open if we replace t by t (2) in first passage problems: 1. Barrier options in model S t = e x+rt+σw T t σ 2 T t /2 (note: β = 1/2); 2. Defaultable bonds and credit derivatives in Black-Cox style models; 3. Hybrid credit-equity models where the stock price hits 0 at the time of default. 4. Multifirm credit models in which the time-changes are dynamically correlated are efficient, consistent and flexible. 5. These are under active investigation with Zhuowei Zhou.

10 A Simple One-Firm Structural Model: VG Model Adapted from the Variance Gamma option pricing model (Madan-Seneta 1990): 1. Log-leverage ratio X t = x + W Tt T t /2 (here β = 1/2); 2. T gamma process, the increasing pure jump process with jump measure ν(z) = ce az /z, c, a > 0 on (0, ); 3. Laplace exponent of T t : ψ(u, t) := log E Q [e ut t ] = tc log(1 + u/a). 4. Time of default is τ = t (2). Another Simple One-Firm Model: SEA Model Self Exciting Affine (SEA) Model for X t with stochastic volatility and contagion effects: 1. Log-leverage ratio X t = x + W Tt T t /2 where dt t = λ t dt + mdj t dλ t = bλ t dt + dj t 2. Here J t is increasing pure jump process with jump measure ν(z) = ace az, c, a > 0 on (0, ). 3. Laplace exponent of T t is affine in λ: ψ(u, t, λ) := log E Q 0,λ [e ut t ] = A(u, t) + B(u, t)λ. Here A, B are explicit. 4. J-shocks can cause instantaneous defaults and a simultaneous jump in credit spreads.

14 A Bottom-up Structural Portfolio Credit Model We can embed the TCBM models into a multifirm setting: 1. For firm i, i = 1,..., I, take log-leverage ratios X i t = x i + σ i W i T i t σ 2 i T i t /2 2. Take a one-factor form for the time change (c.f. Moosbrucker 2006 and Baxter 2006) T i t = α i T t + (1 α i ) T i t, α i [0, 1] 3. Here W 1,..., W I, T 1,... T I, T are mutually independent. 4. Then take τ i = inf{t T i t t i }, t i = inf{t x i + σ i W i t σ 2 i t/2 0} 5. This model has dynamic default correlation. Synthetic CDOs Idealized default and premium legs of a synthetic CDO [a, b]-tranche on firms i = 1,..., I have price: T W = E Q [ V = E Q [ 0 T where total portfolio loss at time t is 0 e rt d[(b L t ) + (a L t ) + )]] e rt [(b L t ) + (a L t ) + )]dt] L t = I l i 1 {τ i t} i=1 Fractional loss at default of firm i is l i = (1 R)N i / j N j

15 Computing CDOs Perhaps the easiest to implement method is the Hockey stick expansion of Iscoe-Jackson-Kreinin-Ma 2007: (1 x) m=1 which implies that ω m e u mx, for a set of values {ω m, u m } (b L t ) + b 100 m=1 ω m e u ml t /b Computing CDOs 1 {τ i t} = 1 {σ 2 i T t τi } are independent RVs when conditioned on T t : Proposition Laplace transform of portfolio loss when α i = 1 is given by: Φ(u, t) = E Q [e ul t ] = 0 I i=1 ( ) 1 + (e uli 1)P (x i, σi 2 T ) ρ t (dt ) where P (x, t) = N ( ) ( ) x + t/2 x t/2 + e x N t t

16 Back of the Envelope Flop Count Consider a nonhomogeneous CDO tranche where the initial CDS curve of each firm i is fit with choice of (x i, σ i ). Maximal correlation case α i = 1 can be computed in Here: O(1) I N t N m O(1) 10 6 flops 1. N t 100: number of t-gridpoints; 2. N m 100: number of terms in hockey stick expansion. 3. I 100: number of firms; Conclusions 1. TCBMs are a flexible class of processes, natural for modeling credit and equities. 2. t (2) (but not t!) is relatively easy to compute for TCBMs. 3. We can compute true first passage t for TCBMs in terms of t (2). 4. Using t (2) in one-firm TCBM structural credit models leads to flexible and efficient calibration to CDS data. 5. Using time change leads to tractable and self-consistent portfolio credit models with dynamic default correlation. 6. Some papers are available:
