CVA marking

November 3rd, 2016, 12:56 pm

 Can anyone tell me how banks calculate their accounting CVA when there are no tradeable CDS with which to calculate default probabilities. Do any firms use historic default probabilities, I would be interested to know which firms and if there are any references for this stuff.
Thanks

i think in the absence of liquid CDS's, equity plays a part in pd calibration, basel II.5 and FRTB has more on this under Incremental risk charge and FRTB default risk charge.
