FVA discount question...

February 3rd, 2017, 4:38 pm

Hello all,

May I ask one question on FVA discount under the exposure approach? Say, we price a trade under OIS discounting, and obtain the future EE, then we compute FVA as,

FVA = Sum ( DiscountFactor * EE * Funding Spread * Accrual Factor )

What "DiscountFactor" should be used here? "OIS" ? Or "OIS + Funding Spread"?

Thank you!

If you are computing FVA, presumably you are trying to account for shareholder value only (and not 'whole bank' = shareholder + bondholder value). The correct discount factor is then OIS + funding spread + counterparty credit spread. Search for Mats Kjaer's 'Consistent XVA Metrics' papers on SSRN.
