medium · FRM Part 2 Credit Risk

When computing the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) for a counterparty, which probability distribution should be used for default timing to ensure the adjustment represents a 'hedged price' rather than an 'actuarial reserve'?

  1. Through-the-cycle (TTC) default probabilities to ensure stability in valuation.
  2. Risk-neutral default probabilities bootstrapped from the counterparty's CDS curve.
  3. Real-world drift-adjusted probabilities using the firm's expected return on assets.
  4. Physical default probabilities derived from historical transition matrices and ratings.
