6 Standard Reduced-Form Approach Modeling the counterparty default time τ through its intensity γ in a reference ltration F progressively enlarged by τ Crépey, S.: Bilateral Counterparty Risk under Funding Constraints - Part II: CVA. Mathematical Finance online rst January 2013 Computationally ecient Allows one to deal in an integrated setting with funding costs (also in a bilateral counterparty risk setup) But subject to an immersion hypothesis between a reference ltration and the ltration of the rst-to-default time τ of the two parties....and to the assumption that data do not jump at τ Assumptions ne in standard cases (e.g. for interest rate derivatives)..but too strong for cases of strong dependence between the underlying portfolio and the default of the two parties (e.g. for counterparty risk on credit derivatives) 6 / 46

11 Reduced Pricing Model (F, P) Assumption (A). Let there be given, assumed to exist: A subltration F of G, A probability measure P Q such that an (F, P)-martingale stopped at τ is a (G, Q)-martingale. pseudo-stopping time τ in the immersion case P = Q... (A) the Azéma supermartingale of τ is FVP (has no martingale component)...but, via the mark ( e, richer ltration ) G than in the standard case where G t = F t (τ t) (τ < t) An F-adapted càdlàg process can jump at τ Conditional expectation given (F t, P) denoted by Ẽt 11 / 46

12 Reduced-Form TVA Modeling Proposition Assume an (F, P)-semimartingale Θ satises: Θ t = Ẽt T t fs ( Θ s )ds, t [0, T ] where f t (ϑ) is a pre-parties-default-f-representative of g t (P t ϑ) + γ t ξ t (P t ϑ) γ t ϑ and dene Θ = Θ on [0, τ) and Θ τ = 1 τ<t ξ(p τ Θ τ ). Then Θ satises the full model TVA (G, Q)-equation. Moreover, the (G, Q)-martingale component dµ t = dθ t + g t (P t Θ t )dt of Θ satises for t [0, τ]: ( dµ t = d µ t τ (ξ(p τ Θ τ ) Θ t )dj t + ( γ t ξ t (P t Θ ) t ) γ t Θ t )dt where d µ t = d Θ t + f t ( Θ t )dt is the (F, P)-martingale component of Θ. 12 / 46

Netted portfolio of credit derivatives on n underlying credit names (τ 1,..., τ n ) = (τ i ) i N Full credit dependence (wrong-way risk) model of (τ 1, τ 0, τ 1,..., τ n ) = (τ i ) i N with τ 1 τ b and τ 0 τ c In the following two sections we develop reduced-form TVA counterparty credit risk models for the (τ l ) l N 13 / 46

40 Cure period Time lag δ > 0 between the rst default time of a party and the close-out cash-ow No less than δ = two weeks for Basel III capital charges CVA computations > 5 years in the case of the New-York branch of Lehman Brothers (closing 31 dec 2013) Introduces a new layer of technicality since the terminal time of the problem is then given as the close-out (or liquidation) time (τ + δ), which, as opposed to the default time τ, is a predictable stopping time (as announced by τ), so that it has no intensity. Work in progress with Shiqi Song 40 / 46

41 For every time u, we write ū = u T, u δ = u + δ, ū δ = 1 {u<t } u δ + 1 {u T } T With a positive cure period δ, the relevant time horizon of the problem becomes τ δ and the exposure ξ δ (π) is G τδ -measurable. We dene (in particular, P t = P t for t τ). P t = P t + D t D τ, t [0, τ δ ] The full TVA BSDE with cure period is written, over [0, τ δ ], as: τδ ] Θ t = E t [1 τ<t ξ δ ( P τδ Θ τδ ) + g s ( P s Θ s )ds, 0 t τ δ t 41 / 46

42 Or equivalently in two parts, after and before τ : Θ t = E t [1 τ<t ξ δ ( P τδ Θ τδ ) + (1) τδ ] g s ( P s Θ s )ds, τ t τ δ t τ ] Θ t = E t [Θ τ + g s (P s Θ s )ds, 0 t τ. (2) t Here the idea is that a terminal condition to (2) is determined by a solution, assumed to exist, to (1). The BSDE (1) is radically dierent from (2) in that τ δ in (1) is predictable, as announced by τ, whereas τ in (2) is totally inaccessible, as endowed with an intensity. 42 / 46

43 Reduction of the cure period TVA BSDE (1) To get rid of the endogenous terminal condition in (1), we assume that the equation θ = 1 {τ<t } ξ δ ( P τδ θ), for a G τδ -measurable random variable θ, has a solution of the form θ = 1 {τ<t } ξ δ, for some suitable G τδ -measurable random variable ξ δ. Standing example: ξ δ (π) = ξ δ c 1 τ=τb (1 Rb )(π C) + for G τδ -measurable random variables ξ δ c, Rb and C : ξ δ c R b The CVA/DVA exposure A (0, 1]-valued recovery rate of the bank to its funder C The value of the accumulated collateral at time τ The above equation for a G τδ -measurable random variable θ is uniquely solved by θ = 1 τ<t ξ, δ where { R 1 ξ δ b = ξδ c + (1 R 1 )( P b τδ C) on {τ = τ b } {ξ δ c P τδ C} ξ δ otherwise 43 / 46

44 Assume ξ δ = ξ δ,τ where ξ δ,u For every time u, we write for t [ū, ū δ ] is G uδ -measurable for every time u P u t = P t + D t D u, f u t (ϑ) = g(p u t ϑ) The cure period TVA BSDE (1) is equivalent to the following BSDE for a (G, Q)-semimartingale Θ u over [u, ū δ ], conditional on τ = u: ( ūδ ) Θ u t = E t 1 {u<t } ξ δ,u + f u s (Θ u s )ds, t [ū, ū δ ] t 44 / 46

45 Reduction of the pre-default TVA BSDE (2) Assuming (1) solved, in order to solve the pre-default TVA BSDE (2), one can follow a reduced-form approach as in the no cure period case, with γ t Θt instead of γ t ξ t (π) in the denition of f t (π), where Θ is a G-predictable process (which exists) such that E(Θ τ τ G τ ) = Θ τ Accordingly let f δ t (ϑ) denote a pre-parties-default-f-representative of g t (P t ϑ) + γ t ( Θ t ϑ) 45 / 46

46 Proposition (TVA Modeling with ) Assume that, for every u (0, T ], a (G, Q)-semimartingale Θ u satises the following BSDE over [u, ū δ ] : ( ūδ ) Θ u t = Ẽt 1 {u<t } ξ δ,u + f u s (Θ u s )ds, t [u, ū δ ] and that an (F, P)-semimartingale Θ δ satises the following BSDE: Θ δ t = Ẽt T t t f δ s ( Θ δ s )ds, t [0, T ] Let Θ = Θ δ on [0, τ) and 1 τ<t Θ τ on [ τ, τ δ ]. Then the process Θ satises the full TVA equation with cure period on [0, τ δ ]. Moreover, on [0, τ], the (G, Q)-martingale component d µ t = dθ t + g t (P t Θ t )dt of Θ satises: ( dµ t = (Θ τ τ Θ ) t )dj t + γ t ( Θ t Θ t )dt, where d Θ δ t = d Θ δ t + f δ t ( Θ δ t )dt is the (F, P)-martingale component of Θ δ. The numerical computation of Θ involves resimulation for the Θ u. 46 / 46
