Abstract

We describe the phenomenon of negative interrisk diversification effects between credit and market risk. For portfolios of FX forwards, inte- grated market and credit risk may be larger than the sum of both by a factor of 200 to 400. This phenomenon occurs for portfolios hedged against market risk. The result implies that measuring market and credit risk in an integrated way spots risks of adverse interaction between credit and market events that are hidden to a simple addition of pure market and credit risk numbers.
