Abstract
We derive approximate formulae for the credit value-at-risk and the economic capital of a large credit portfolio. The representation allows to change the risk horizon quickly and avoids simulation or numerical procedures. The Poisson mixture model is equivalent to CreditRisk+ and uses the same parameters.
