The most recent Barra US Equity Model, USE4, contains some important innovations in factor risk modelling, including the introduction of country risk factors, volatility regime adjustments, and eigenfactor risk adjustments. Appendix A 173 Glossary spread factor A risk factor that captures typical movements in interest rate spread level. Spread factors in Barra’s risk model include non-government spread (also known as credit spread and swap spread ) and emerging-market spread. spread risk The risk due to exposure to spread movements. “market” risk, and 1−R2 is a measure of asset specific risk. Additionally, σbiis a measure of the typical size of asset specific risk. Given the variance decomposition var(Rit)=β2ivar(RMt)+var(εit)=β2iσ2M + σ2i R2 can be estimated using R2 = βˆ2 iσˆ2M vard(Rit) 3. Let's contrast counterparty risk to loan default risk. If Bank A loans $10 million to Customer C, Bank A charges a yield that includes compensation for default risk. But the exposure is easy to ascertain; it's roughly the invested (funded) $10 million. A credit derivative, however, is an unfunded bilateral contract.
