The authors will present two models for valuing bank loan portfolios. One model values loans based on the expected cash flows utilizing prepayment rates and directly embedding the default probabilities and the severities in the expected cash flows. The other model values the loan portfolio like a fixed income security of a certain credit quality utilizing nominal cash flows and incorporating risks into the discount rate. The authors will show that the two models give essentially the same values.
