C Collateral supply: haircuts

Haircuts (= initial margin)


for OTC-initial margining (regulatory std‘ed approach).

1. Haircuts is a proxy for how different to asset


is compared to cash (HC=0).
2. Haircuts are lowest for public issuers and
covered bonds.
3. They are highest for structured credit
products.
4. Haircuts vary across time and depend on the
market circumstances.
1. Haircuts for public issuers and covered bonds are aligned to market
haircuts.
2. Haircuts for equity and gold are substantially higher.

Objectives and Principles

Objectives of collateral management:

1. Ensure required collateral from margining, LCR, MaRisk and PfandbriefG.


2. Optimize collateral pool by collateral substitution.
3. Mobilise available assets:
Generate additional liquidity by mobilising liquid assets so far unused for
liquidity generation (e.g. bank book bonds).
Generate additional liquidity by transforming low liquid assets into high liquid
assets (e.g. repo, collateral swaps)
Generate extra revenues by security lending.
4. Acquire additional external collateral (reverse repo, security borrowing) if
needed.

=> To align the objective of extra revenues and additional liquidity


=> Require funds transfer pricing that allocates the generated benefits to P&L of
collateral management.

A Collateral process

0. Collation:
0.
Collation • Collateral agreement/ documentation:
Rules to exchange collateral with counterparty

• Which collateral is acceptable?


6. 1. • Frequency of margin calls
Mitigation Allocation • Haircuts per collateral type
• Valuation method
• Conditions for re-hypothecation/ re-use
• Close out
• Termination clauses

1. Collateral allocation:
Which collateral to be used for which deals?
• Eligibility of collateral to counterparties
• Borrower rating from CRA
5. 2. • Maturity and record date
Reconciliation Calculation • Required value to be collateralized
• Lender ranking
• Haircut to be applied
• Concentration limits to be applied

2. Collateral calculation: how much collateral is


required for a certain position?
• Exposure to be covered (PFE, VaR, ...)
4. 3. • Automatic market data feed for MtM-valuation
Reporting Evaluation • Revaluation of collateral
• Margin calls (if any) if exposure > (1-HC)*MtMColl

INSTITUTE 34
3. Operating model
A Collateral process

3. Evaluation:
0.
Collation a) Allocates collateral that needs to be allocated:
Optimizing:
- system finds most efficient allocation
(posts cheapest collateral that is still eligible,
6. 1. covers all margin calls)
Mitigation Allocation - Minimize number of transactions by netting
margin calls

b) Allocates (or proposes) collateral that could be


allocated (used) to generate extra revenues
Optimizing:
- Knows revenues to be earned by SecLending,
Repoing, collateral swaps, etc. and compares
potential P&L of these transactions
- Optimzes across product lines
5. 2. (OTC-trading, CCP-trading, Repoing,
Reconciliation Calculation SecLending, ...)
- Optimizes across entities

4. Reporting:
• External reporting to counterparties:
- margin calls, re-use of collateral, valuation,
reconciliation
• External reporting to regulators:
4. 3. - (EBA) asset encumbrance
Reporting Evaluation - ...
• Internal reporting to business lines:
- use and P&L of collateral

• confirmation that posted collateral has been
received?
• In case of discrepancies (under-/
6. 1. overcollateralization) => resolving algorithm
Mitigation Allocation
6. Mitigation of risks inherent in collateral
management process:
• Operational risk:
- Manual intervention
=> automatize as much as possible
=> add control mechanisms
- Ad hoc procedures to integrate new processes/
products/ clients/ staff/ ... => establish
standardized processes
5. 2. • Settlement risk:
Reconciliation Calculation - expected collateral is not settled
=> use efficient and robust payment & settlement
systems incl. backup system
• Market risk:
- fluctuating market prices affect collateral value
=> collateral pool can be hedged, but entity must
also ensure that the hedge P&Lis the source to post
collateral to counterparties
4. 3. • (Market) Liquidity risk: liquidation of collateral is
Reporting Evaluation difficult if thin market
• Concentration risk: dominant issuer (firm/
sovereign/ asset class) => concentration limits
•Legal risk: cros-border might involve different laws

A Collateral management process: key challenges

• There should be a generic data model that fits all deals.


Harmonized • The data model is split into 3 parts:
data structure (i) Deal-independent (information that every deal has)
(ii) Instrument-dependent (information that are specific to the instrument)

Cross-product • Maximum netting is realized if margining is managed across products.


collateral
management
Harmonized • Harmonized processes reduce operational risk and monitoring cost.
processes
1 global • Collateral function per product group (e.g. OTC-derivative collateral function, Exchange traded deriatives
collateral function, Repo collateral function, Securities lending collateral function) are operational [more
collateral potential errors, higher maintenance cost] and economically inefficient [multiple infrastructure, probably
function no margin netting across product lines].

Computation of • Ability to calculate robust initial margins based on a transparent methodology


initial margins
• Systems with Straight-Through Processing (STP) to avoid manual steps
End-to-end • Exception based management to automatically prioritize human intervention

Own Business • Move from back office/ aincillary function to strategic business line
practice
• Small banks are likely to outsource CM to Tri-party agent or vendor as amortisation of large fixed cost for
Outsourcing CM CM-business line requires critical mass on operations.

• Collateral should be managed in one pool across product and business lines.
• Collateral users (Repo, SecDeals, LCR, Trading) borrow collateral from the pool and the collateral is blocked/ encumbered
during the time of the use (like capital for P&L-risk).
• Collateral providers (Reverse repo, SecDeals, Trading) lend collateral to the pool.
• The collateral pool does not distinguish owned and received collateral, but only „usable“ and „not usable“ collateral.

Potential governance structure:


- Short-term\ secured trade repo/ reverse repo , security lending/ borrowing, collateral swaps => collateral
- Long-term secured issues Pfandbriefs => cover pool
- Derivatives trades derivatives => margining
- Liquidity management steers the liquidity buffers (LCR, strategic liquidity reserve).
- All their activities involve collateral. Therefore, they interact with collateral management.

D Collateral cost (transfer prices)
Incentive alignment to mobilise the collateral pool

• The internal transfer price of a repo consists of a FTPUnsecured for the cash leg and a FTPCollateral for the security leg.

Incentivising the mobilisation of collateral:

• Only actual use is rewarded:


=> Repoable securities have an unsecured transfer price.
=> Repoed securities have a HC*FTPunsecured + (1-HC)*FTPSecured transfer price.
• The responsible for collateral allocation should be P&L‘ed:
=> If it is the collateral owner => has an interest to reduce the unsecured funding cost of its collateral
=> If it is the collateral manager => he borrows the collateral from the owner against a fee
and subsequently seeks to recover the fee by allocating the collateral to the best internal and external use.

(A) There are two key figures to be monitored on the aggregate level:
1. Evolution of collateral buffer
2. Evolution of encumbrance rate

(B) Minimum buffer of free collateral:


The bank should internally set a buffer of free collateral that should safeguard the institution against unexpected additional
collateral demand and unexpected shortfalls of collateral supply.
The expected unencumbered volume should never fall short of the buffer.

(D) Discussion: Minimum collateral buffer and/ or LCR-buffer ?


The LCR-buffer already caters for additional collateral posting for margin calls and collateral devaluation. It also should cater
against „any other expected outflow“. Hence, if a bank follows this „going concern“ view of the LCR (with new/ expected
business included) and the bank believes in the LCR-calibration of collateral postings and repo rollovers, the collateral buffer
can be set to zero because the LCR-buffer (= a collateral user) insures the bank against it.

=> Business planning process + business commitments + limits
(1) Business planning process:
- Each business line/ desk plans volume of product, type andf volume of collateral used/ provided
- The collateral manager has to make planned supply and demand converging or take actions to fill the gap.
(2) Business commitments:
- The business lines/ desks commit to planned (net 1) figures.
- Deviations are asymmetrically penalised:
- Shortfall supply and excess demand are not tolerated (=> limits).
- Excess supply and shortfall demand are penalised.
(3) Limits:
- A business line/ desk is allowed to use up to its planned collateral limit. It is also charged (static!) that the collateral is
blocked for its use.
- A business line/ desk is obliged to provide up to its planned collateral limit. It is also only (dynamically) rewarded for
the supplied collateral.
- The asymmetry between static charging and dynamic rewarding ensures optimal usage of limits.
1) Net comprises business lines that are both suppliers and demanders (e.g. a desk that performs repo and reverse repo). The business line
commits on a net supply (or net demand). Other business lines like trading might be to a large extent demanders (IM 0, VMt).

We assume that the collateral manager wants to avoid that the non-encumbrance enters the buffer.

Which counteraction can the collateral manager take to avoid that?

Option 1:
- Increase the collateral pool and stick to planned encumbrance.
- Possible methods: borrow securities, buy collateral, repo non-collateral and changing it to cash (=collateral),
replace unsecured lending by reverse repos

Option 2:
- Keep collateral pool constant, but reduce encumbrance.
- This directly affects the business.
- Possible methods:
move trades to CCP to benefit from maximum netting and reducing margining, call lent securities, reduce trading, replace
Repo funding by Pfandbrief funding (Pfandbrief uses non-liquid assets for securities)

6. Risks of Collateral
What could go wrong in collateral process:

A) Prior to default:
Risk Description Mitigation
• Manual End-to-end straight through
• Manual processes
processingprocesses

1. Operational risk • New products with new processes • Extensive testing of new processes

• Number of staff does not grow with business • Budget for infrastructure and human
volume ressources

• Collateral is not obtained • DvP1-systems, Tri-party: inhouse coll. transfer


2. Settlement risk • Many margin calls • CCP: 1 margin call only

• Value risk: hedgeable by CDS, but margin risk


• Downgrade of collateral
not hedgeable

• Wrong-way risk (value of collateral drops if


3. Market risk derivative drops (e.g. fixed-rate bond to • Use uncorelated bond (e.g. floating)
collateralize IR-swap)

• Large value drop because low diversified


• Diversify collateral pool across issuers
collateral pool

4. Insufficient • Unexpectedly high collateral demand


• LCR-HQLA-buffer
collateral meets with unexpectedly low collateral supply

5. Legal risk • Ensure legal title • Use standard master agreement

• Speak to and educate your counterparties hat


• Lack of transparency od default procedure, happens in case you default !!
5. Intransparency related risks, legal rights, responsibilities and • Counerparty that feel comfortable with the
processes collateral procedure and title are likely to
repo wwith you also in hard times

1) Delivery-vs.-Payment systems

6. Risks of Collateral
What could go wrong in collateral process:

B) At default/ in times of counterparty rumours:


Risk Description Mitigation
• Haircuts increase and collateral devalues in
• Use (internally) more conservative haircuts
times of increased countereparty doubts
1. Procyclicality
of haircuts
• Haircut increase just when collateral is
• Extensive testing of new processes
devalued

2. Procyclicality • No roll-overs of secured funding in times of


• LCR-HQLA-buffer
of re-use stress

• Collateral not liquifiable (or only at high


3. Market discounts) because many others want to do
the same (=> contagion to counterparties with • Use ECB-eligible collateral
liquidity risk common exposures, not necessarily directly
interconnected),

• transfer and sale process: brokerage


agreements, draft and sign contracts,
4. Intransparency • Be operational ready to liquidate collateral
internally assign responsibilities to people
involved in liquidation

6. Risks of Collateral
Systemic: Repo run

Critics
Gorton & Meverick (2012)
(Richard Comotto, 2012)
• Repo uses only structured credit (ABS, • Europe:
RMBS, CMBS, CLO, CDO, ...) as collateral, Govt collateral: 80%
• GovtBonds are not used as collateral Structured credit collateral: only
1. Assumption: in Tri-party (10%), and only 3.2% of
Tri-party
=> 0.3%

2. Stylized fact: Haircuts increased substantially Tri-Party haircuts have been stable
3. Evaporation ignored dried up
of unsecured
market:
- haircuts increased - quick estimation for the changed
=> successive withdrawal haircut, but applied to European
(would be HC=100%: maximum haircut !!) volumes => -3%
=> secured funding evaporated
=> banks need to deleverage
4. Argument: => asset fire sales
=> Reduce collateral value more
=> deleverage further

6. Risks of Collateral
What could go wrong in collateral process:

C1) Have haircuts been volatile during the crisis?: Yes, but ...

C2) ... the categories with large haircut changes only account for 14% of
total collateral pool => overall collateral value only drops by -2.7%

What could go wrong in collateral process:

D) Pre- and post-crisis haircut arrangements:

Since the crisis, many market users are reported to


have adopted the haircuts/initial
margins set by Basel II (standard supervisory haircuts),
central banks or central counterparties (CCPs)
as benchmarks.

Conclusion

1. Overview:
Collateral are assets, usually highly liquid and with low credit risk.
They are used for secured funding, security lending/ borrowing, liquidity buffers and margining
for derivative trading as well as payment/ settlement systems.
2. Operating Model
Collateral management was historically a product-specific back office function.
Due to the tremendous demand and the necessity to generate revenues on the collateral pool,
CM becomes centralised, cross-product unified, data-harmonised and a profit (or a cost) centre.
The transfer pricing makes the cost of collateral transparent and incentivises the (re-)use
of collateral.
3. Collateral Planning
Collateral planning ensures that businesses can count with sufficient collateral. For this,
they plan their collateral demand and supply. A collateral buffer for unexpectedly high
collateral demand and unexpectedly low collateral supply is not necessary if the
LCR/ liquidity buffer carefully takes the planned figures into account.
4. Capital Requirements
Capital requirements for CCP-trading is 2% risk weight for the exposure and for the
default funds. Capital requirements for OTC-derivaitves also include CVA.
5. Risks of Collateral
The major risk is the non-readyness of an organisation to liquidate collateral in case of a default.
This should be legally prepared and operationally trained upfront.
