medium · FRM Part 2 Credit Risk

A bank calculates the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) for a derivative netting set.

If the bank adds a new trade to the set that is perfectly negatively correlated with the existing exposure, what happens to the Incremental CVA?

  1. It will be zero, since under this framework CVA is only ever priced at the standalone trade level.
  2. It will equal the standalone CVA of the new trade, since incremental and standalone CVA are the same quantity.
  3. It will be negative, as the new trade reduces the Expected Positive Exposure (EPE) of the netting set.
  4. It will be positive, because adding any new trade to the netting set always raises total exposure.
