Current Situation

 What happened?
  • Liquidity evaporated
  • Market values eroded

 Why is valuation needed?
  • GAAP Accounting regulations still require a
    value (FAS 157)
  • Risk quantification
    Distribution of assumptions and valuations


                                                  8
Liquidity Evaporated

 Broker/Dealers of non-Agency MBS unwilling to
  provide liquidity 1
 Forced liquidations of MBS set market prices 1
 Pricing vendors find it difficult to obtain “real”
  prices
 Bid - Ask spread is 10-30 points depending on
  collateral and the depth of distress 2

 GAAP Valuation Still Needed
 Mark to Market
  • FAS 157 required companies to value holdings
    Level 1 – based on market price
       Recent observed prices could be due to forced
        liquidation
    Level 2 – based on related price (ex. spread to treasuries)
       Spreads can reflect lots of different risks (credit,
        liquidity,…)
    Level 3 – based on model price
 Mark to Model pricing developed from loan level data
  • FASB relaxation of mark-to-market rules
  • FAS 157-4 and FAS 115-2
  • Perhaps an ‘intrinsic value’ based on full range of scenarios



                                                                    15

Credit Model: amount and timing of loan losses
Key Considerations of Models
   • Traditional actuarial development methods can be
     used (and in fact are)
       Significant limitations to consider
   • Methods must critically consider the key drivers of
     losses:
       Exposure Duration
       Underwriting quality of collateral pool
       Economic factors affecting collateral pool
       Loan level data for each of the above factors
       Adjusted BF methods (among others) can do this
