(eng): During the last decades, Merton-Vasicek factor model (1987), later generalize by Frye at al. (2000), became standards in credit risk management. We present a generalization of these models allowing multiple sub-portfolios of loans possibly starting at different times and lasting more than one period. We show that, given this model, a one-to-one mapping between factors and the overall default rate and the charge-off rate exists, is differentiable and numerically computable.
