medium · Frm Part 2 Credit Risk
A bank is pricing a new 'pay-fixed' interest rate swap with a counterparty where it already has a large 'receive-fixed' swap portfolio. The standalone CVA of the new trade is positive.
What is the most likely impact on the bank's total netting-set CVA after adding the trade?
- The total CVA will increase because variation margin must now be posted on both trades separately.
- The total CVA may decrease because the new trade reduces the expected positive exposure (EPE) of the netted portfolio.
- The total CVA must increase because the standalone CVA of any new trade is always non-negative.
- The total CVA will remain unchanged as long as the counterparty's CDS spread does not move.
