16 learning spreadsheets for Credit Risk

image

The credit risk tutorials (6a through 6f) employ various spreadsheets. I have uploaded those spreadsheets to the paid member area:

 

Among them, which are most relevant to FRM 2009 Level 2? In my opinion,

     
  • Look at interest rate swap Monte Carlo long enough to conceptually grasp how counterparty exposure (e.g., PFE) is determined
  •  
  • Quick look at Culp’s net excess spread
  •  
  • Merton Model (contains almost everything you need to know)
  •  
  • Implied probability of default (PD); the 2009 sample exam contained two questions on this! I would definitely be ready to solve for implied PD given bond prices or credit spreads
  •  
  • If you have time, the CDS valuation
  •  
  • Ong’s portfolio unexpected loss (6.f.4) including risk contribution (RC)
