Jan 28, 2023 · The mark-to-market value of a contract is a value that a party is willing to pay if they decide to close out a position before the scheduled settlement date. In other words, it indicates the profit or loss resulting from dissolving a forward contract sometime before the settlement date.

Following an event of default, the surviving counterparty immediately closes out the relevant contracts and all contractual future payments are stopped. The net amount of all the trades, including collateral, held or posted, is determined. This net amount can be positive or negative. From the perspective of the surviving party, a negative valueindi...
Expected Future Value, EFV
The expected future value, EFV, is the ) is the expected value (forward) of the netted positions at some point in the future. It represents the expected (average) of the future value calculated with some probability measure in mind. It may differ significantly from the current value of the positions.
Expected Exposure, EE
This is the amount expected to be lost if the counterparty defaults when the MTM is positive. It only concerns itself with positive MTM values because they represent situations where the institution would make a loss if the counterparty defaults. By definition, the EE is greater than the expected MTM since it does not take into account negative MTM values.
Potential Future Exposure, PFE
The potential future exposure is the worst exposure an institution could have at a certain time in the future, measured at a specified level of confidence. If the PFE at 95% confidence is X, for example, this implies that we are 95% confident that the maximum possible exposure will be no more than X. Alternatively, X would be exceeded with a probability of no more than 5%. Using our example above to further illustrate how the PFE is defined, Bank X may have a 12-month PFE of $7.5 million calc...
VaR can be defined as the maximum amount of loss, under normal business conditions, that can be incurred with a given confidence interval. It can also be viewed as the worst possible loss under normal conditions over a specified period. Suppose an analyst calculates the monthly VaR as $100 million at 95% confidence: What does this imply? It means t...
Future Uncertainty
In contracts where there is a single payout at maturity, uncertainty regarding the value of the final exchange increases over time. For such contracts, exposure is a simple increasing function which follows a “square root of time rule.” That means the exposure is proportional to the square root of time: Exposure∝√tExposure∝t Examples of contracts with a single netted payment include forward rate agreements and FX forwards.
Periodic Cashflows
With contracts that have periodic cash flows, future uncertainty reduces, and therefore the credit exposure is easier to calculate. With an interest rate swap, for example, the expected exposure at the onset of the contract is low. It then increases gradually increases over time before decreasing to zero at maturity.
Combination of Profiles
When a product is subject to a combination of risk factors, its exposure profile will incorporate all of the underlying risks. An obvious example is a cross-currency swap, which combines an interest rate swap and an FX forward transaction. The contribution of the interest rate swap component to the total exposure is less than that of the FX forward because the latter has considerably higher volatility.
Collateral typically reduces credit exposure, but that’s only in situations where the exposure is positive because the institution will hold collateral (posted by the counterparty). If the exposure is negative, an institution will be required to post collateral, a situation that will increasethe institution’s exposure. However, collateral doesn’t a...
One of the most important determinants of counterparty credit exposure is the time to maturity of the contract. As we peer farther into the future, the uncertainty associated with market variables increases. Let’s now look at the potential future exposure of some securities
The general impact of aggregation on exposure is that it can produce a diversification effect and reduce the overall exposure when compared with the sum of the exposures of each individual transaction. The aggregation process involves combining different transactions to offset one another. An example of this is close-out netting, which is a contrac...
Credit exposuredefines the loss in the event of a counterparty defaulting. A positive exposure at the time of default corresponds to a claim on the defaulting counterparty. If a party is owed money and the counterparty defaults, the party will incur a loss. Funding exposuredefines costs related to the funding of a derivative contract. Funding costs...
Collateralization is a process used in over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trades to mitigate counterparty credit risk. The following is a summary of the impact of collateralization on exposure: 1. When margin is received, it reduces positive exposure and increases negative exposure. Receiving margin essentially mitigates counterparty risk because i...
The Risk Associated with the Remargin Period
The remargin period, also known as the margin call frequency, is the period from which a collateral call takes place to when collateral is actually delivered. The margin period is a period of great uncertainty and extreme exposure to the collateral receiver because there’s no telling whether the other party will honor the request. In fact, a prudent trader will assume that the party required to post collateral will default during the remargin period. To be able to stay ahead of the game and m...
Additional Parameters that Impact the Effectiveness of Collateral in Reducing Counterparty Risk
Threshold: As long the exposure remains below the threshold, collateral cannot be called. Thus, such an exposure will typically be uncollateralized (unless an amount of collateral is already held that is within the margins of the minimum transfer amount). Minimum Transfer Amount: A collateral call is made only when the exposure exceeds not just the threshold but also the minimum transfer amount. Independent Amounts: Any independent amount should be considered and will reduce the uncollaterali...
