1. A method for managing liquidity requirements of asset backed commercial paper, the method comprising the steps of:

  • identifying a full liquidity commitment for a financial instrument of at least one financial institution wherein the financial instrument is guaranteed by a plurality of assets;

    determining a rating for each of the plurality of assets guaranteeing the financial instrument for a predetermined period of time wherein the rating provides an indication of creditworthiness of an issuer of each asset;

    determining a rating transition probability for each of the plurality of assets for the predetermined period of time based at least in part on statistics indicating a likelihood of a rating transition based on historical data;

    determining whether a draw event occurred for a time period prior to the predetermined time period;

    determining a probability of a continuing draw event over the predetermined time period, if the draw event is determined;

    determining a probability of a new draw event for a time period after the predetermined time period, if no draw event is determined;

    wherein the steps of determining a rating, determining a rating transition probability, determining whether a draw event occurred, determining a probability of a continuing draw event and determining a probability of a new draw event are performed for a plurality of predetermined time periods;

    performing a simulation using one or more random variables thereby predicting one or more liquidity funding needs associated with the plurality of assets; and

    estimating a reduced liquidity level for the financial instrument that is less than the full liquidity commitment for the financial instrument wherein the reduced liquidity level satisfies the one or more liquidity funding needs as determined by the simulation.
