| CVA Calculation for CDS on Super Senior ABS CDO by Hui Li of AIG August 2008 Abstract: The way monoline insurers estimate the FAS 157 credit value adjustments (CVA) on their ABS CDO insurance portfolios vastly overstates the benefits. We propose a simple method that is more accurate, especially when the counterparty default risk is high. The counterparty default recovery rate is also a critical input. Keywords: Credit Value Adjustment, Super Senior ABS CDO, Monoline insurer. |
