NO.38 The capital adequacy ratio applied to risk weighted assets for the calculation of capital requirements for credit risk per Basel II is:

NO.39 Which of the following is a measure of the level of capital that an institution needs to hold in order to maintain a desired credit rating?

NO.40 Which of the following formulae correctly describes Component VaR. (p refers to the portfolio, and i is the i-th constituent of the portfolio. MVaR means Marginal VaR, and other symbols have their usual meanings.)

NO.41 When modeling severity of operational risk losses using extreme value theory (EVT), practitioners often use which of the following distributions to model loss severity:
I. The ‘Peaks-over-threshold’ (POT) model
II. Generalized Pareto distributions
III. Lognormal mixtures
IV. Generalized hyperbolic distributions

NO.42 The loss severity distribution for operational risk loss events is generally modeled by which of the following distributions:
I. the lognormal distribution
II. The gamma density function
III. Generalized hyperbolic distributions
IV. Lognormal mixtures

NO.43 Under the KMV Moody’s approach to credit risk measurement, which of the following expressions describes the expected ‘default point’ value of assets at which the firm may be expected to default?

NO.44 Which of the following carry greater counterparty risk: a forward contract on a 10 year note, or a commercial paper carrying a AA credit rating with identicalmaturity and notional?

NO.45 Which of the following is the best description of the spread premium puzzle:

NO.46 An assumption regarding the absence of ratings momentum is referred to as:

NO.47 The probability of default of a security during the first year after issuance is 3%, that during the second and third years is 4%, and during the fourth year is 5%. What is the probability that it would not have defaulted at the end of four years from now?

NO.48 When fitting a distribution in excess of a threshold as part of the body-tail distribution method described by the equation below, how is the parameter ‘p’ calculated.

Here, F(x) is the severity distribution. F(Tail) and F(Body) are the parametric distributions selected for the tail and the body, and T is the threshold in excess of which the tail is considered to begin.

NO.49 Random recovery rates in respectof credit risk can be modeled using:

NO.50 If the full notional value of a debt portfolio is $100m, its expected value in a year is $85m, and the worst value of the portfolio in one year’s time at 99% confidence level is $60m, then what is the credit VaR?

NO.51 A Bank Holding Company (BHC) is invested in an investment bank and a retail bank. The BHC defaults for certain if either the investment bank or the retail bank defaults. However, the BHC can also default on its own without either the investment bank or the retail bank defaulting. The investment bank and the retail bank’s defaults are independent of each other, with a probability of default of 0.05 each. The BHC’s probability of default is 0.11.
What is the probabilityof default of both the BHC and the investment bank? What is the probability of the BHC’s default provided both the investment bank and the retail bank survive?

NO.52 The definition of operational risk per Basel II includes which of the following:
I. Riskof loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events II. Legal risk III. Strategic risk IV. Reputational risk

NO.53 The probability of default of a security over a 1 year period is 3%. What is the probability that it would have defaulted within 6 months?

NO.54 Which of the following losses can be attributed to credit risk:
I. Losses in a bond’s value from a credit downgrade
II. Losses in a bond’s value from an increase in bond yields
III. Losses arising from a bond issuer’sdefault
IV. Losses from an increase in corporate bond spreads

NO.55 An investor enters into a 5-year total return swap with Bank A, with the investor paying a fixed rate of 6% annually on a notional value of $100m to the bank and receiving thereturns of the S&P500 index with an identical notional value. The swap is reset monthly, ie the payments are exchanged monthly. On Jan 1 of the fourth year, after settling the last month’s payments, the bank enters bankruptcy. What is the legal claim thatthe hedge fund has against the bank in the bankruptcy court?
