The index-level expected loss is calculated as the weighted average of asset-level Expected Loss (credit risk).
\text{Average expected loss}_{t} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} (EL_{i,t} \times w_{i,t}) }{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} w_{i,t}} |
where,
EL_{i,t} is the expected loss for constituent i at time t.
w_{i,t} denotes the index weight of constituent i at time t.
