Why mitigating credit risk?
 Return driven by risk
 Why mitigating credit risk?
 Lock in earned but unrealized profit
 Stop unrealized loss
 Risk increased above tolerance level
 Change of risk aptitude

Outline
 Risk controls for single debts
 Appendix

Bilateral netting
 Two banks own each other monies
 When one bank defaults
 Without bilateral netting agreement
 Survival bank must surrender the borrowing EAD
immediately to liquidator
 Survival bank then collects the lending EAD from
liquidator
 EAD = Principal + Accrued interest
 With bilateral netting agreement
 Net EAD = Max[Lending EAD - Borrowing EAD, 0]
Example 6.1

Principal amortization
 For large EAD with long initial RM
 Principal paid partially on a regular basis
 To offset the default chance arising from long
initial RM by reducing EAD on a scheduled
basis
 Example: mortgage
 Fixed monthly payment
= Interest + Partial principal

Collateral
 Borrower surrenders the legal ownership of his
assets to lender
 Lender sells assets to compensate part of the EAD in
case the borrower defaults
 Debt collection continues if assets are sold below the
EAD
 Common collaterals
 Property, land, equity, car, equipment … red wine
 Preferred collaterals
 Low mobility – land and property
 High liquidity – financial instruments

Example 6.2

Margining
 To top up collaterals with additional cash up
to a certain threshold
 e.g. lending amount + potential maximum
decrease of collateral value in a short period
 Higher collateral volatility => more margin
 Margin lending for foreign currency contract
 5% initial margin
 3% maintenance margin
 1% liquidation margin
Example 6.3

Credit guarantee
 Default insurance of a debt
 Guarantor sourced by the borrower at
origination of a debt
 Credit guarantor has
 a credit quality higher than that of the borrower
 a positive view on the credit quality of the
borrower

Credit default swap
 Default insurance of a debt
 Insurer sourced by lender at any time during
the lending period
 Lender pays insurer an insurance premium
 A bet between lender and insurer

Downgrade trigger
 Borrower has to return the EAD to the lender
 When the borrower is downgraded materially by
major credit rating agencies
 Lender to
 Take debt collection actions before default
 Accelerate the default of borrower

Call provision
 Borrower has to return the EAD to the lender when
failing to meet any positive provisions, e.g.
 Maintain its credit rating at investment grade by major
global credit rating agencies
 Deposit sufficient collaterals to the lender
 Meet certain sales and/or profit targets every quarter
 Complete a project following a scheduled timeline
 Demonstrate a sufficient improvement in financial
condition within a certain period of time

Outline
 Risk controls for individual debts
 Appendix

Debt portfolio
 For the same portfolio EAD
 Diversification reduces risk by
 Lower concentration of debts
 Larger no. of borrowers
 Lower default dependency among borrowers
 Larger no. of lending segments
 Different countries, industries and/or professions

Credit securitization
 To sell illiquid debts in a debt portfolio
 Individual illiquid debts
 No market for disposal
 Tranching
 To reschedule certainty of cash flows
 To match investors with different risk-return
preferences

Credit limit
 To cap the default loss of the lender
 When many borrowers default together in one
year
 Under an extreme situation

Credit limit
 For a homogeneous portfolio
Portfolio EAD × LGD × XCDR = XCL
Portfolio credit limit × LGD × XCDR = MPDL
Example 6.5
MPDL
Portfolio credit limit =
LGD × XCDR
