Abstract

Pursuant to some embodiments, a method includes: identifying information associated with an existing credit position involving a first party and counterparties; identifying information associated with a proposed credit position involving said first party and counterparties; calculating a first net present value of expected future losses based on a default of each of said counterparties; calculating a second net present value of expected future gains based on a default of said first party; and summing said first and second net present values to identify a third net present value of an expected future credit loss and gain of an overall credit position including both said existing credit position and said proposed credit position.

Claims (28)

1. A method, comprising:

identifying information associated with an existing credit position involving a first party and counterparties;

identifying information associated with a proposed credit position involving said first party and counterparties;

calculating a first net present value of expected future losses based on a default of each of said counterparties;

calculating a second net present value of expected future gains based on a default of said first party; and

summing said first and second net present values to identify a third net present value of an expected future credit loss and gain of an overall credit position including both said existing credit position and said proposed credit position.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of said steps is implemented using a computer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said identifying information associated with an existing credit position includes:

displaying an input display screen to a user, said input display screen including a section for receiving information identifying a type of said existing credit position.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein said input display screen further includes a section for receiving information identifying terms of said existing credit position, said second section formatted based on said information identifying a type of said existing credit position.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said identifying information associated with a proposed credit position includes:

displaying an input display screen to a user, said input display screen including a section for receiving information identifying a type of said proposed credit position.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said input display screen further includes a section for receiving information identifying terms of said proposed credit position, said section formatted based on said information identifying a type of said proposed credit position.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said calculating said first and second net present values includes:

retrieving current market data from a market data source;

performing a monte carlo simulation to generate a series of cash flows associated with each of said existing and proposed credit positions; and

generating predictions of default probabilities associated with each of said existing and proposed credit positions.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing at least one of said first, second and third net present values to be displayed on a display screen operated by a user.

9. A credit valuation adjustment apparatus, comprising:

a processor;

a communications module coupled to receive information from a user device over a network; and

a storage device in communication with said processor and storing instructions adapted to be executed by said processor to:

identify information associated with an existing credit position involving a first party and counterparties;

identify information associated with a proposed credit position involving said first party and counterparties;

calculate a first net present value of expected future losses based on a default of each of said counterparties;

calculate a second net present value of expected future gains based on a default of said first party; and

sum said first and second net present values to identify a third net present value of an expected future credit loss and gain of an overall credit position including both said existing credit position and said proposed credit position.
