I develop an algorithm to approximate the loss rate distribution for fixed income portfolios with obligor concentrations. The approximation requires no advanced mathematics or statistics, only the summation of large exposures and the evaluation of binomial probabilities. The approximation is model-independent and can be used after removing default dependence using any risk modeling approach. It is especially useful for capital calculations given its inherent accuracy in the upper tail of the cumulative portfolio loss rate distribution. The approximation provides a simple way to calculate the capital needed when a marginal credit is added to a concentrated portfolio.
