hard · 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, because CVA is only calculated at the standalone trade level.
  2. It will be equal to the standalone CVA of the new trade.
  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 trade increases total counterparty risk.
