In your report, you should clearly state the composition of your portfolio (i.e., fill in the table above with the names of three real-world companies).
Assume that all three loans are senior unsecured debt denominated in US dollars and that the analysis is conducted on 30th November 2021. The loan will
be repaid at maturity date. Clearly state any assumptions you make in your estimations.
Using CreditMetrics (full implementation) and KMV, you are required to compute relative VaR and Expected Shortfall with MonteCarlo simulation for the
portfolio above at time horizons of 1-year and 2-year periods and confidence interval of 99%.
Interpret, compare, and discuss your results critically. Do a reality check on all the above calculations. Are your results according to your expectations? Why
or why not?
