Don’t Veer into Default Mode. Proactively Evaluate Loss Given Default.

  • Refine the assessment of your potential exposure to defaults with S&P Global Market Intelligence’s loss given default (LGD) models and scorecards.

    Get a complete view of the depth and breadth of potential expected credit losses by combining probability of default (PD) and LGD.

Employ our unique approach to LGD estimation

  • Estimate LGD at the exposure level

    Incorporate quantitative and qualitative factors which results in bond-specific, forward-looking estimates of loss for any secured or unsecured loan exposure.

    Our six drivers of loss include:

    • Pre- and post-default quantity and riskiness of cash flow/assets/economic value
    • Seniority of exposure (e.g., senior bond)
    • Jurisdiction
    • Economic expectations
    • Collateral and guarantees/insurance
    • Recovery costs and workout policy (restructuring versus disposal)

Demonstrated Predictive Power

  • Robust system to validate the accuracy and consistency

    We undertake an annual validation of our LGD Scorecards, evolving them to reflect additional data availability and structural shifts in markets. Additionally, we conduct backtesting, which involves comparing actual or realised bond or loan losses to those predicted by our LGD Scorecards.

  • Furthermore, the performance of our LGD Scorecards is robust across both time and geography, including emerging markets and developed countries

  • Understand Your Regulatory Requirements

    Develop and implement LGD methodologies to support the Advanced Internal Ratings Based approach (AIRB) under Basel II. Enhance existing LGD models and methodologies in preparation for AIRB recognition. Validate and benchmark internally developed LGD models.

  • Distinguish Between the Good, the Bad, and the “Could-Default-At-Any-Time”

    Separation of the two credit risk dimensions–probability of default (PD) risk and recovery risk–enables you to both analyze and manage the distinct risks in different ways. Facilities can be structured most effectively by minimizing expected losses.

  • Decision-Tree Models

    Adhere to Basel II AIRB principles using Decision-Tree models, a Facility Risk Rating methodology that captures information and calculation of LGD & EAD for each facility.. Use your own empirical loss rates to the furthest extent possible in order to blend the available empirical data with in-depth analysis.

  • …and more.
