- In the 1980s, Bankers Trust developed index currency option notes (ICONs). These are
bonds in which the amount received by the holder at maturity varies with a foreign
exchange rate. One example was its trade at maturity varies with a foreign exchange rate.
One example was its trade with the Long Term Credit Bank of Japan. The ICON
specified that if the yen/US dollar exchange rate, ST , is greater than 169 yen per dollar at
maturity (in 1995), the holder of the bond receives $1,000. If it is less than 169 yen per
dollar, the amount received by the holder of the bond is
1,000- max [0, 1,000 (169 – 1) ST
When the exchange rate is below 84.5, nothing is received by the holder at maturity.
Show that this ICON is a combination of a regular bond and two options. - Suppose that the risk-free zero curves is flat at 7% per annum with continuous
compounding and that defaults can occur halfway through each year in a new 5- year
credit default swap. Suppose that the recovery rate is 30% and the default probabilities
each year conditional on no earlier default are 3%. Estimate the credit default swap
spread. Assume payments are made annually. - Suppose that 6- month, 12-month, 18-month, 24-month, and 30-month zero rates are 4%,
4.2%, 4.4%, 4.6%, and 4.8% per annum, respectively, with continuous compounding.
Estimate the cash price of a bond with a face value of 100 that will mature in 30 months
and pays a coupon of 4% per annum semiannually. - Suppose that the economic capital estimates for two business units are as follows:
Business Unit 1 2 Market risk 10 50 Credit risk 30 30 Operational risk 50 10
The correlation between market risk and credit risk in the same business unit is 0.3. the
correlation between credit risk in one business unit and credit risk in another is 0.7. the
correlation between market risk in one business unit and market risk in the other is 0.2.
All other correlations are zero. Calculate the total economic capital. How much should be
allocated to each business unit?
- A Bank is considering expanding its asset management operations. The main risk is
operational risk. It estimates that the expected operational risk loss from the new venture
in one year is $2 million and the 99.97% worst-case loss (arising from a large investor
law suit) is $40 million. The expected fees it will receive from investors for the funds
under administration are $12 million per year and administrative costs are expected to be
$5 million per year. Estimate the before-tax RAROC? Also explain the two different
ways in which RAROC can be used? - Why is there an add-on amount in Basel I for derivatives transactions? “Basel I could be
improved if the add-on amount for a derivatives transaction depended on the value of the
transaction.” How would you argue this viewpoint? - “A long forward contract subject to credit risk is a combination of a short position in a
no-default put and a long position in a call subject to credit risk.” Explain this statement.
