The Distribution of Loan Portfolio Value

by Oldrich Alfons Vasicek of KMV

December 2002

Abstract: In this paper, we derive the distribution of the portfolio loss under certain assumptions. It is shown that this distribution converges with increasing portfolio size to a limiting type, whose analytical form is given here. The results of the first two sections of this paper are contained in the author's technical notes, Vasicek (1987) and (1991). For a review of recent literature on the subject, see, for instance, Pykhtin and Dev (2002) * .
