PRMIA 8010 Exam - Topic 3 Question 54 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRMIA's 8010 exam
Question #: 54
Topic #: 3
[All 8010 Questions]

Which of the following objectives are targeted by rating agencies when assigning ratings:

1. Ratings accuracy

2. Ratings stability

3. High accuracy ratio (AR)

4. Ranked ratings

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The persistence parameter, , is the coefficient of the prior day's variance in EWMA calculations. A higher value of the persistence parameter tends to 'persist' the prior value of variance for longer. Consider an extreme example - if the persistence parameter is equal to 1, the variance under EWMA will never change in response to returns.

1 - is the coefficient of recent market returns. As is lowered, 1 - increases, giving a greater weight to recent market returns or shocks. Therefore, as is lowered, the model will react faster to market shocks and give higher weights to recent returns, and at the same time reduce the weight on prior variance which will tend to persist for a shorter period.

I definitely recall that ratings accuracy is a key objective, but I’m not sure if stability is enough on its own. I might go with option C, but I’m still debating.

I’m a bit confused about the high accuracy ratio. I thought it was more about the overall reliability of the ratings. Maybe option A is correct?

I remember practicing a similar question where we discussed the importance of accuracy and stability. I feel like option D could be the right choice since it includes both.
