Default Risk Load

The Default Risk Charge calculation requires extensive supporting data which must be sourced or calculated outside the Vector Risk system and imported with a "LoadDefaultRisk" task.

A csv Header file (shown below) can be exported which provides the load format. Instructions for exporting the header file are in the section Loading CSV data.





 Row Type Field Name Allowed Values
 ObligorPD ObligorPD Identifies the row type as an obligor probability of default row
  Name Name of the obligor
  ProbDef60Days Probability of default in 60 days
  ProbDef1Year Probability of default in 1 year
  CoveredLgd Loss given default for covered bonds
  SeniorLgd Loss given default for senior debt
  SubordinateLgd Loss given default for subordinated debt or stock
 

 ObligorBeta ObligorBeta
Identifies the row type as an obligor's beta to an industry or region
  IndustryOrRegionName The name of the industry or region
  Value The beta value [0-1]
 
 DefaultStatistic DefaultStatistic
Identifies the row type as a default statistic row
  Group Name of the obligor, industry or region
  Mean Mean of the group
  Volatility Volatility of the group
     
DefaultCorrelation DefaultCorrelation Identifies the row type as a correlation row. Correlations must be supplied for obligor pairs and for industry/region pairs.
  Name1 Name of the first obligor or industry/region
  Name2 Name of the second obligor or industry/region
  Correlation The correlation of default for the pair
     
BusinessUnitJTD BusinessUnitJTD Identifies the row type as a jump-to-default row.
  BusinessUnit Name of the business unit this JTD belongs to
  Currency Currency of the JTD value
  JTD JTD value (a negative number represents a JTD profit)
  JTDNonEquity JTD value excluding equities (a negative number represents a JTD profit)


Note: The "jump-to-default" (JTD) data can be calculated in the system or loaded from an external source. For the system to generate JTD the Default Risk Charge task must have a dependency on a task of type Sensitivity Generation which includes the ability to generate jump to default data on trades. This task must be configured to run against the subset of desks which are tagged as internal desks in the business unit hierarchy.
