The seminar will be followed by a reception.
Abstract
The utility of Potential Future Exposure (PFE) for counterparty trading limits is being challenged by new market developments, notably widespread regulatory Initial Margin (using stressed 99% 10-day exposure), and netting of trade and collateral flows. In addition, PFE has other drawbacks: lack of comparability across counterparties; lack of consistency with credit mitigation; insensitivity to exposure distribution changes above its reference quantile; exclusion of existing credit losses (i.e. incurred CVA). We introduce the concept of Potential Future Loss (PFL) which combines expected shortfall (ES) and loss given default (LGD) as a replacement for PFE. With two extensions to include existing credit losses (Adjusted PFL) and consistency with credit mitigation (Protected Adjusted PFL) both new and pre-existing challenges are resolved. We provide theoretical background and illustrate with numerical examples.
Based on joint work with: Benjamin Poncet (Lloyds) and Chris Kenyon (MUFG Securities).
