Financial risk categories
Risk is the volatility of unexpected outcomes (businessrisk, financial risk, legal risk, etc.)
Risk faced by bondholders:
Credit risk: default risk, credit downgrade risk, credit spread risk Interest rate risk Yield curve risk Call and reinvestment risk Prepayment risk Liquidity risk Inflation risk Volatility risk Sovereign risk

Default Risk
Default risk is the risk that the issuer will fail to satisfy theterms of the bond obligation with respect to the timelypayment of principal and interest.
The percentage of a population of bonds that is expectedto default is called the default rate .
A default does not mean the investor loses the entireamount invested, a percentage of the investment may berecovered. This is referred to as the recovery rate .

Credit Spread Risk
In the U.S. the Treasury security with the same maturity as the risky bondbeing evaluated is considered to be risk-free. The yield on a bond is made up of two components:
The yield on a similar default (risk-free) bond A premium above the yield on a default-free bond to compensate for the
additional risk of the bond (risk premium)
The risk that the pricean issuers bonds willdecline due to anincrease in the creditspread is called thecredit spread risk.
The credit spreadtrends to increaseduring recessions anddecrease duringeconomic expansions.

Downgrade Risk
The quality of any bond is based on the issuer's financialability to make interest payments and repay the loan infull at maturity.
Bond Ratings: The bond's credit rating is the firstindication of the bond's quality.
Third-party ratings such as Standard and Poor's (S&P),Moody's, and Fitch assign ratings to bonds, which reflecttheir evaluation of the creditworthiness of an issuer.

Yield Curve Risk Parallel Shift
The yield curve isactually a series ofyields, one for eachmaturity.
Duration can be used ona portfolio of fixedincome securities to
understand theapproximate change in aportfolios value for a 100basis point change in theyield for all maturities.
Duration is a measure ofthe effective maturity of abond

Yield Curve Risk Nonparallel Shift
To determine the impact of interest rate risk on a portfolio of bonds with differingmaturities, a rate duration is computed to measure the impact of a rate change in atparticular maturity

Risks faced by bond holders (cont.)
Call and reinvestment risk The cash flow pattern of a callable bond is not known with
certainty because it is not known when the bond will becalled.
Falling interest rates may prevent bond coupon paymentsfrom earning the same rate of return as the original bond.
The price appreciation potential of the bond will be reducedrelative to a comparable option-free bond.
Prepayment rate: Investors in mortgage- and asset-backed bonds face the risk
that the borrower can prepay principal prior to scheduledprincipal payment dates

Call and prepayment risk (cont.)

If interest rates fall, priceof straight bond can riseconsiderably.The price of the callable
bond is flat over a rangeof low interest ratesbecause the risk ofrepurchase or call is high.When interest rates arehigh, the risk of call isnegligible and the valuesof the straight and thecallable bond converge.

Risk faced by bond holders (cont.)
Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the investor will have to sell
the bond below its indicated value, where the indication isrevealed by a recent transaction.
The primary measure of liquidity is the size of the spreadbetween the bid price (what the dealer is willing to pay)and the ask price (what the dealer is willing to sell).
A liquid market is generally defined by a small bid-askspread which does increase materially for largetransactions
Inflation risk Inflation or purchasing power risk arises from the decline in
the value of a bonds cash flows due to inflation. 13

Risk faced by bond holders (cont.)
Volatility risk The risk that the price of a bond with an embedded option
will decrease when expected yield volatility changes. Basic option valuation: The price of an option increases
with more volatility of the underlying asset, all thingsequal.
Therefore, changing yield volatility affects the price of abond with an embedded option
The greater the expected yield volatility, the greater the value(price) of an option.

Risk faced by bond holders (cont.)
Event risk: Occasionally an issuer is unable to make either interest
or principal payments because of unexpected events,such as a natural catastrophe or disaster, a corporatetakeover or restructuring, or a regulatory change

Drivers of credit risks
Default probability p : A counterparty fails to make contractually promisedinterest/ principal payments or to comply with otherconditions of the debt agreement
The present value of its assets is smaller than the presentvalues of its liabilities It files for bankruptcy
Credit exposure (CE) / exposure at default (EAD): The
economic or market value of the claim on the counterparty Loss given default (LGD): the fractional loss due to default
LGD=1-recovery rate

Default distribution for a single loan
Let us assume that There are only two possible states: default / no default Probability of default = p EAD=1$

Default distribution for independent loans
If default events are statistically independent p(A and B)=p(A) * p(B)
Example: Three loans with PD = p (independent) Prob(loan 1 defaults; others do not): p(1-p) 2
Prob(exactly one loan defaults) = 3*p(1-p)2
1= p 3 +3p 2 (1-p)+3p (1-p) 2 +(1-p) 3 In general: binomial distribution:
E(x) =N*p
Var(x) = N*p(1-p) Prob(exactly n defaults from N loans ) =

Default distributions for dependent loans
If default events are not independent, the probabilityof join default, p(A and B), depends on the marginalprobabilities and correlation

Measuring credit losses (cont.)
Assume that (i) all creditors have the same distribution of p andLGD; and (ii) EAD are the same (EAD =1$) The expected credit loss is linear in the default probability p
where n is the number of actual losses Standard deviation of credit loss and probability of default p
have non-linear relationship
The dispersion of credit loss (SD[CL]) is greater than theexpected loss (E[CL]) for higher default rate p

Unexpected loss
The portfolio distribution is usually described through:
Expected Loss (EL) % quantiles: loss which exceeds % of all possible losses (credit VaR or total loss )
Unexpected Loss = credit VaR EL=$31.75
The expected credit loss depends on individual default probabilities but not on default correlation
The higher the default correlation the higher the unexpected credit loss

Example 4 (Jorion, p. 463, 19.7)
A portfolio consists of two bonds. The credit VAR isdefined as the maximum loss due to defaults at aconfidence level of 98% over a one-year horizon.The probability of joint default of the two bonds is
1.27%, and the default correlation is 30%. The bondvalue, default probability, and recovery rate forbond A are $1 mio, 3% and 60%, and for bond B are$600,000, 5% and 40%What is the expected credit loss of the portfolio?
