Notes

  1. 1.

    Strictly speaking, this only holds true for interest rates greater than − m, where m is the number of discrete compoundings per year, since otherwise the formula for discrete compounding would fail. The authors firmly believe that this case can be ruled out safely in the real world.

  2. 2.

    For simplicity’s sake, all present values refer to a Nominal of € 1.

  3. 3.

    There are also other events used to define “survival”, such as filing for bankruptcy, restructuring or similar. For the determination of the present value, however, it is only important whether the contractually agreed upon cash flows actually happen or whether they are completely or partially lost.
