Portfolio one-year EL
 Failed to incorporate diversification effect
 More borrowers with smaller EADs => lower risk
 Lower default dependency => lower risk
 Not a valid credit risk measure for a debt
portfolio

Diversification effect
 For a fixed portfolio EAD
 Concentration of borrowers
 Higher concentration among very few borrowers =>
higher credit risk
 Lower concentration among many borrowers =>
lower credit risk
 Default dependency
 Higher default dependency => higher credit risk
 Lower default dependency => lower credit risk

Homogeneous portfolio
 Theory development
 Simplicity
 High analytical tractability
 Analytical approximation to a real debt
portfolio
 Similar debts are managed under the same
portfolio
 Around 5% to 10% model error

Unified maturity
 RM is artificially set to one year
 Three criteria
 The lender invests in many debts with maturity longer
than one year or without fixed maturity will review and
control the credit risk at the end of the following one year
 The lender invests in many debts with maturity shorter
than one year will invest the proceeds at maturity in
similar debts up to one year
 The debts with maturity short than one year accounts for
the minority of the homogeneous portfolio (< 10%)
