Collateral, limits to avoid credit exposure concentrations, termination rights based upon credit ratings, third party guarantees and credit derivatives are all tools or instruments that financial institutions use to manage their credit risk. A cumulative accuracy plot measures the accuracy of ratings, and is not a tool for managing credit risk. Therefore Choice 'b' represents the correct answer.

Historical Simulation VaR is conceptually very straightforward: actual prices as seen during the observation period (1 year, 2 years, or other) become the 'scenarios' forming the basis of the valuation of the portfolio. For each scenario, full revaluationis performed, and a P&L data set becomes available from which the desired loss quantile can be extracted.

Historical simulation is based upon actually seen prices over a selected historical period, therefore no distributional assumptions are required. Thedata is what the data is, and is the distribution. Statement I is therefore not correct.

It uses full revaluation for each historical scenario, therefore statement II is correct.

Since the prices are taken from actual historical observations, a correlationmatrix is not required at all. Statement III is therefore incorrect (it would be true for Monte Carlo and parametric Var).

Historical simulation VaR suffers from the limitation that if enough representative data points are no available during the historical observation period from which the scenarios are drawn, the results would be inaccurate. This is likely to be the case for new products. Therefore Statement IV is incorrect.

All of the distributions referred to in the question can be used to model the loss severity distribution for op risk.Therefore Choice 'c' is the correct answer.
