Certain principles rule financial intermediation in free markets


Supply and demand
Interest rate as the clearing price Opportunity cost of consumption/investment

Universally risk is defined by volatility


Features Features Normal distribution Skewed distribution Range Variance Standard deviation

Tail Probability = 2.5%

Distribution of actual or expected occurrences

The higher the risk, the higher the required rate of return
Required rate of return determines the price
Current income stream Capital appreciation

Perceived risk determines the required return


The greater the historical volatility the greater the risk The greater the uncertainty the greater the risk The longer the horizon the greater the risk

Risk is priced by the discount rate: absolute and relative

Risk/Standard Deviation

There is risk-reward trade-off inherent in financial intermediation


Short-term vs longer-term Liquidity Floating vs fixed rates Credit Leverage Risk is defined as volatility in earnings and/or capital

Capital needs to support major risks in financial institutions


Credit Risk
On and off balance sheet credit exposures

Market Risk

Interest rate and equity risk in trading book; FX and commodity risks in banking and trading books

Operational risk

Primarily failed processes or event risk (not strategic or reputational risk)

So how much capital does a financial institution need?

Enoughbut not too much.

What is enough capital?


Capital protects depositors and creditors
Safety and soundness Supports growth Is a buffer against losses Can be in the form of non-equity

Equity capital represents owners interests


Last creditors to be paid in liquidation Requires a return in cash income and appreciation Retained earnings are a good source of capital

What is too much capital?


Capital is a non-interest bearing source of funds
Equity capital is the most expensive source of funds Must earn a required rate of return (ROE) Is a scarce resource

Managements goal is to maximize risk-adjusted returns


Competes with risk-free rate and alternative investments Affects pricing and competitive position if too much

Capital adequacy is in the eyes of the beholder


Accounting capital
Focus is historical cost of Focus is historical cost of assets and recognition of assets and recognition of impairment (fair value) impairment (fair value) Focus is income, the Focus is income, the markets expectations markets expectations and required return and required return Focus is market value Focus is market value (PV of cash flows) of (PV of cash flows) of assets/liabilities assets/liabilities Focus is balance sheet Focus is balance sheet and income risk and and income risk and capital components capital components

Market capital

Economic capital

Regulatory capital

BIS II attempts a more precise calibration of economic and regulatory capital

In a perfect market the different capital values would be equal


Book values represent present values of future cash flows discounted at current required rates of return Market values of capital stock reflect net present values Economic capital is the same as net book value Regulatory capital would be a realizable value of assets in excess of liabilities

Capital requirements can be a competitive advantage


Japanese Bank Loan Net interest margin Income Capital USD 100 million .6% USD 600,000 2% USD 2 million ROE 30% US Bank USD 100 million 1.25% USD 1,250,000 6% USD 6 million 20.8%

BIS II permits banks to customize capital adequacy assessment


Align regulatory capital requirements more closely with underlying risk Emphasis is on banks risk management and economic capital allocations There is flexibility in assessing capital adequacy: standardized vs. IRB approaches

Capital must be allocated to support major banking risks


Credit Risk Standardized Approach IRB Approach
Foundation Advanced

Market Risk Standardized Approach Internal Models Approach

Minimum 8% of Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets

Operational Risk Basic Indicator Approach Standardized Approach Internal Measurement Approach

Capital adequacy is a function of three pillars


Pillar 1: Minimum Capital Internal capital assessment process and control environment Capital f (how sound the process is)

Pillar 2: Supervisory Review Review assessment process Evaluate IRR in banking book Pillar 3: Market Discipline
Formal disclosure policy Describe risk profile, capital levels, risk management process and capital adequacy

Mutually reinforcing factors that determine capital adequacy

Ultimately the financial market is the harshest regulator


Quantitative Requirement Qualitative Requirement

Minimum Capital Requirement

Supervisory Review Process


Many players Many players Self interested, Self interested, rational rational Independent Independent Real time Real time

Market Discipline

Public Disclosure

Capital required is a function of the quality of information


The less the history, the less reliable the data The less certain or transparent, the greater the risk The more the risk, the more capital needed All the above implies higher capital levels for some institutions in less mature markets

Capital absorbs unexpected losses and supports growth

Capital is not a substitute for inadequate control or for risk management processes.
- Bank for International Settlements

Assumption of risk is the raison detre of banking

Banks make money by assuming risk Banks lose money by not managing risk or by not getting paid for the risk assumed Banks manage what they measure

A formalized risk management framework is best practice


Risk Management is the deliberate acceptance of risk for profit making informed decisions on the trade-offs between risk and reward and using various financial and other tools to maximize risk-adjusted returns within pre-established limits.

A Risk Management facilitates informed decision-making


Identify Measure Manage Monitor

Risk Management is now basic to financial management


The nature of Risk Management in banks is changing fundamentally. Until recently, it has been an exercise in damage limitation. Now it is becoming an important weapon in the competitive struggle between financial institutions. Those who can manage and control their risks best will be the most profitable, lowest priced producers. Those who misjudge or mis-price will be out on their ear.
The Risk Game The Economist, Survey of International Banking (1996)

Risk management permits riskreward trade-offs

The primary objective is to minimize the volatility of earnings and capital (hence the risk as perceived by investors) and at the same time earn a ROE to maintain the value of the common equity.

Risk management permits better performance measurement

Benefits of integrated risk management


Promotes and strengthens a consistent risk culture Clear, consistent position on risk enhances market image Supports the efficient use of financial and human resources for maximum risk-adjusted returns Facilitates the dissemination of multi-dimensional risk knowledge and expertise to where it makes a difference Provides corporate level overview of risks and risk trends for strategic and business planning Enables performance evaluation on a risk-adjusted basis

Elements of integrated risk management


Common language Consistent measurement and methodologies Integrated processes Clear roles and responsibilities Excellent training and communications Technology supported-MIS a key driver Not bureaucraticenabling, not controlling

Risk management philosophy


Manage risks at source: Primary responsibility for risk decisions are at the businesses Within businesses, segregation of responsibility for risk management and for customer profitability Risk management is a culture issue: volunteerism Risk management policies and practices should support business goals

Ownership of risk is a key driver to assuring all risks are managed

Every risk needs an owner

Risk management framework integrates several areas

One of the most difficult aspects of RAROC is the assignment of EC


RAROC uses a banks own allocation RORAC uses BIS assigned weights The more the capital the more the perceived risk of the asset.but more conservative and less risky the bank The more the capital the higher the required return from the asset

Credit risk rating system provides RAROC input


Standardized Approach Internal Ratings Based Approach
Foundation Advanced

What is credit risk?


The risk that a borrower will not pay what we lent in full and on time

The potential that a bank borrower or counterparty will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms
Principles for the Management of Credit Risk - BIS 1999

Must also include all threats to value, in a probability / net present value sense; e.g. deterioration in quality throughout the life of the loan is a credit risk in itself

Credit risk affects both capital and earnings


Foregone Interest and provisions And mark-to-market losses

The primary objective is to minimize the volatility of earnings and capital (hence the risk as perceived by investors) and at the same time earn a ROE to maintain the value of the common equity.

Losses in economic capital

Good credit risk management a competitive advantage


Identify Measure Manage Monitor
And price appropriately!

Credit risk measurement takes different forms


Expert systems Credit scoring models Rating systems
CAMELS Pass, OLEM, Substandard, Doubtful, Loss Public bond ratings

Credit rating methodologies are on a continuum


Judgment Template Scoring Model

Grades are set judgmentally against a set of qualitative guidelines

Final ratings are ultimately judgmental, but graders are provided with a template of quantitative benchmarks for each rating category

Graders are provided a scoresheet which combines a set of objective characteristics with subjective factors in a predetermined manner

Grades are derived purely mechanically, with no role for subjective inputs

Altman Z score is one of earliest credit models


RATIO FORMULA Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ---------------------------------------Total Assets Net Sales ---------------------------------------Total Assets Market Value of Equity ---------------------------------------Total Liabilities Working Capital ---------------------------------------Total Assets Retained Earnings ---------------------------------------Total Assets WEIGHT FACTOR WEIGHTED RATIO Return on Total Assets x. 3.3 -4 to +8.0

Credit analysis drives the credit risk assessment of all methods

Both the ability and the willingness to pay are key

There are two basic elements of credit risk


Standalone risks
Default probability Loss given default Migration risk

Portfolio risks
Default correlations Exposure
Credit risk management means diversifying and transferring risk

There are two major factors to consider


What is the likelihood a borrower will default? Probability [%]

If the borrower defaults, how much are we likely to lose? Amount [JOD or %]

BIS II has led to a new generation of statistical rating models


Three measures for credit risk
Standardized using external ratings for risk weights IRB: Foundation and Advanced

IRB uses banks own rating systems with required features Provisions should equal expected loss where EL = PD * LGD * EAD Capital must be held for UL

Probability of Default (PD) is based on historical experience

Hindsight is perfect.but how do we predict default?

Data lets us generalize about a


similar population
Example: Life insurance company

How we can we classify individuals into broad risk bands to manage our actuarial risk?

How do we discern the predictive risk variables?


Example: Life insurance company

Potential losses should be priced in our rates


Expected loss

How much we expect to lose (probability) on a credit or group of credits May be expressed as a per cent or an absolute number Often abbreviated as EL also known as ROL (risk of loss)

Expected loss is a function of three variables


Expected loss

Probability of default

Loss given default

Exposure at default

Lets calculate a simple example


Expected loss Probability of default

Credit risk analysis is an evolving field


Quantitative modeling includes structural and reduced form models Credit risk management means diversifying and transferring risk Research continues to integrate new asset classes and correlations

The Control Environment is an important part of risk management


Control Environment
Internal Audit
Independent review to ensure controls working as intended, risks are controlled and operational inefficiencies are identified during: On-site reviews Off-site reviews
Enforces

Internal Control
Management control of day-today activities including: Policies and procedures Segregation of duties Authorities and approval limits Checking procedures Supervision of transactions and recording Budget controls

Operational risks are classified as either event or business risks


All non-credit and non-market risks
Routine processes Payments/Settlements Documentation IT, regulatory, legal, fraud Strategy and planning

Managed by organizational and other internal controls


Segregation of duties and dual controls Internal audit scope, procedures, findings and responses Self-assessment process

Communications is key!
An

effective internal control system requires effective channels of communication to ensure that all staff fully understand and adhere to policies and procedures affecting their duties and responsibilities and that other relevant information is reaching the appropriate personnel.

Bank for International Settlements, Framework for Internal Control Systems in Banking Organizations

Internal audit is an important component
