1. Introduction: What the course will offer

After the course, you should be able to ...


• know what banks “produce”
• understand what is special about banks (compared to other firms)
• know which risks they are taking
• assess their risks
• assess the market environment in which they operate
• know how banks are regulated
• whether this was your first and last deep dive into banks ...
... or whether you would like to dive even deeper (master thesis, internship, job).

6
1. Introduction: Relation to other courses

Background and relation to other courses

• The course starts with a overview of banks and their business models. We
summarise what makes banks special, but theory and proof you will find in John‘s
course (5420) “The Economics of Banking“.

• Banks “produce“ derivatives and use them to (i) speculate, (ii) hedge risks or (iii)
arbitrate. We don’t price derivatives. This is done in Thomas’ and Elisa’s courses
“Credit risk derivatives”, and “Interest rate derivatives”. A deeper view on how to
use derivatives is also offered in my the course “Trading in Financial Markets”.

• We mention regressions, correlations and other econometric concepts.


A detailled dicsussion is provided in Stigh’s “Financial econometrics I & II”.

7
1. Introduction: Literature

The main reference is Moorad’s book:


• Moorad Choudhry: The Principles of Banking, 2012, Wiley, 912 pages

• I have chosen it for its practical approach,


the presentation style, and its comprehensiveness.
• It tells you how banks operate and prepares you
for job interviews.

This text may be supplemented by notes, articles, and alternative book chapters
to cover research-relevant aspects.

8
1. Introduction: Course material and exam

The course material consists of:


• Slides
• Exercises
• Workbook.xls.

Will be uploaded when needed.

Exam
• The exam will be mainly exercise-based (style PTIA), i.e. you should do it in XLS and
submit the PDF-print out of it.
• Exam is scheduled for Thursday, 19 March 2015, 2pm — 5pm.

• The role of banking in the economy involves the transformation of assets:
- in the maturity dimension, i.e. short liquid deposits into illiquid long loans
- in the credit dimension — monitoring loans
- in the volume dimension, i.e. Many small deposits into a some large loans
- producing customised derivatives
- produce liquidity reserves for households (demand deposits)
- take on financial risks and manage them.
• This enhances economic efficiency and welfare
... but at the cost of inherently unstable banks (bank run).

1: Adjustments are mainly needed due to the following reasons: (i) Economically hedged short-term positions are marked-to-market in Mgt
Reporting but accrual in IFRS, (ii) Hedging of net investments, (iii) Trading results in own shares: considered in divisional figures, excluded
under IFRS, (iv) Intra-group rental income: incorporated in divisional figures, excluded under IFRS. See AR 2012, p. 294ff. for details. 37

• The most important (pure) business models are: retail bank, wholesale bank,
investment bank.
• However, there are also hybrid models where a bank has a retail, a wholesale and
an investment banking arm (e.g., Danske, Deutsche, Unicredit) => universal banks

• Characteristics of money market:


- Serves short-term needs
- MM rates serve as benchmarks (e.g. Euribor, Libor, EONIA, CIBOR, ...) for
products (e.g. variable leg of swaps are indexed to 3M- or 6M-_ibors, 90% of
Spanish mortgages are indexed to 12M-Euribor)
- Very deep markets (large volumes are tradable without impacting the price)
- Over-the-counter (OTC), i.e. not on an exchange, but via telephone,
computers
- Day count convention: often actual / 360 or actual / 365

• EURIBOR:
Reference rate for EUR-Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs), short-term interest
rate futures, and interest rate swaps
Each of the 25 panel banks (as of 4/2/2016) delivers a quote of the rate that
the bank believes is the one that a prime bank quotes to another prime bank
for inter-bank depositing for 1W, ..., 1Y.
(44) (25)
• Many banks have left the EURIBOR-panel
as they are afraid of legal issues / being
sued
• European commission on Libor rigging:
Deutsche: 633 m USD
Société Générale: 606 m USD
JPMorgan: 107 m USD
Citigroup: 95 m USD

1.F Bank cash flows and other basic concepts

• Capital and leverage:


- equity to absorb potential losses, i.e. most junior claim
- between 4% (leverage = 25) — 12.5% (leverage = 8) of total assets
(new regulatory requirement: leverage < 33.3, i.e. capital/ total assets ≥ 3%)
• Gap (or mismatch):
- interest rate gap:
difference in contractual interest maturity between assets and liabilities
- liquidity gap:
difference in contractual liquidity maturity between assets and liabilities
Example: 100 DKK mortgage, 10Y, with 12M Euribor interest rate:
interest maturity: 12M
liquidity maturity: 10Y
If funded with 100 DKK 12M fixed-rate term deposit
=> Interest rate gap: [0—12M]: 0 DKK, [1Y—10Y]: 0 DKK
=> Liquidity gap: [0—12M]: 0 DKK, [1Y—10Y]: 100 DKK
• Yield curve:
- Curve of yields across time: {maturity, yield}
- Shape of yield curve determines profit
- Movements of curve determine associated risk

50
1. A primer on bank business and balance-sheet risk
1.F Bank cash flows and other basic concepts

• Liquidity:
- Liquidity risk results from liquidity gap [+ long-term loans, — short-term funding]
when (i) non-maturing deposits are unexpectedly withdrawn early
or (ii) term funding is not rolled over at maturity.
- The liquidity transformation naturally implies a liquidity risk.
• Risk management:
- Credit risk is a natural banking risk as banks promise depositors to repay each EUR
that has been deposited although these EURs are used to lend to borrowers that do
not always pay back the borrowed amount
- Understanding of credit risk of (i) individual customers and (ii) of all customers
together is essential.
- Equally important: loan origination standards
(i.e. rule who is accepted / declined a loan)

1.G Risk exposures in banking

• Credit risk
- Default risk (borrower defaults) and migration risk (borrower’s credit worthiness
deteriorates, but borrower still does not default)
- Parameters:
PD: probability of default, LGD: loss given default, EaD: exposure at default
- Credit portfolio models:
Describes portfolio loss distribution, i.e. taking into account diversification
• Market risk:
- Potential losses resulting from movements of market prices like interest rates,
credit spreads, FX-rates, stock prices, and commodity prices
- Reinvestment risk: payments before investor’s horizon such that proceeds need to
be (re-)invested => rate unknown => risk
- Pre-payment risk: unexpected early (partial or full) repayments of mortgages
- Model risk: arises if (i) instruments are priced with a model (if non-observable
market prices) or (ii) risk is measured
Model risk increases with complexity, number of assumptions, shortage of data
• Liquidity risk
- Funding / Roll-over risk: risk of not being able to roll-over funding
- Market liquidity risk: unable to sell an instrument quickly without large discount

• Operational risk
Potential losses arising from ‘running the bank’, i.e. from internal or external fraud,
system failure, breaking law, selling wrong product to customers, accidents, ethics,
discrimination
Not specific to banks: any firm is exposed to operational risk
• Country risk:
Any risk of the host country (crisis, political turmoil, ...)

• Risk management function:


- independent from front office (i.e. units that make profit out of risk taking)
- reporting to CRO (business independent board member)
- monitoring separation between front, middle and back office
- reporting of limit usage
- communicating risks and risk strategy to shareholders

1.I Macro-level risk management and strategy

• Board of directors approves risk strategy and sets risk appetite


Risk appetite statement = document with upper limits on risk exposures per country,
per sector (more granular limits: set by operating business units),
concentration limits
Board sets:
(lower) limits for capital ratios, leverage ratios
upper limits for funding gaps and wholesale funding volumes
• Limit system ensures that the ability to take on risks is limited
• Target return rates:
Board sets target rates per business line (should be sustainable across the cycle)
Can set different RoE across business lines (because funding costs are different)
Risk-adjusted return limits (e.g. RAROC-limits)
• Dynamic risk management:
continuous re-assessment for transactions whether still profitable even under
changed environmental factors

2.A Definition of ‘regulatory’ capital

• ‘Regulatory’ capital is the minimum amount of capital that a bank must hold (for an
individual deal or for the whole bank) according to the regulator
• Example (Basel I, 1988—2007):

2.B Basel I

• Basel I assigns risk weights to asset classes.


• Basel I only covers credit risk (from 1988 onwards) and market risk (from 1996
onwards).
• Within an asset class, all obligors receive the same risk weight, no matter how risky
an obligor is. Therefore, Basel I is almost a flat capital requirement, i.e. hardly risk-
sensitive.

2. Bank regulatory capital
2.D Basel III (Europe: CRR)
Higher regulatory requirements imply ... reduced cost from future crises (less probable, less severe) at
the cost of more expensive bank products (higher loan rates, lower deposit rates) and less profitable
banks (making banks less attractive for shareholders).
• Bank capital has the following function:
1.To maintain the business:
Capital is what is used as a base to lever up the balance sheet through liabilities raising, which then
enables undertaking of operations (assets) and then expansion via capital expenditure, acquisition
2. To absorb losses:
Any loan / trading / operating losses will be covered by capital base,
which therefore must be sufficiently large to absorb all expected and unexpected losses.
3. Maintain public, customer and market confidence:
A strong capital base assures stakeholders that the bank is a safe store for their funds, particularly
during times of crisis.
4. Reduce moral hazard risk:
On the retail side, customers’ deposits are protected by deposit insurance schemes. This reduces
incentives for customers to monitor the health of their bank, and for the bank owner’s agents to
maintain a safe and sound balance sheet. In theory, the more capital a bank has (as a percentage of
its balance sheet) the more equity shareholders have at risk, hence this better aligns the interests
ofcustomers and owners (and regulators).

• Together with the profit motive, the above can be conflicting from time to time, thereby creating a
“push and pull” effect between shareholders and regulators:
Higher capital requirements will reduce RoE and may generate extension of risk-reward profile to
maintain returns. It also could mean “less lending”.
Higher capital reduces risk of insolvency but may also act as a constraint on lending and/or push up
costs to customers, neither of which helps the economy.

3. Banking and credit risk
3.A Definition of credit risk

• Credit risk exposure:


Any claim against someone (loan, derivative with positive market value, guarantee, ...)
Credit risk against derivative counterparty is called “Counterparty Credit risk”
Migration risk Credit default risk
• Increased PD, i.e. higher probability that obligor • Risk that an obligor defaults1
might default Default : = if payments are 90 days due or there are
• Increased LGDs, i.e. smaller recoverable amounts objective reasons to believe that the obligor has
(especially in a recession if there is a low demand defaulted (e.g. legal liquidation process has been
(and excess supply) of the collateral) triggered [by other lender])
(who has money to buy a house / car in a recession
when everybody struggles, loses their job, etc.?) • Measures of default risk:
- Exposure at Default (EaD): loan amount or
modelled value for derivatives / credit lines
- Likelihood of default: Probability of Default (PD)
- Severity of default
LGD = (EaD – liquidation salet1/(1+r)t1
+ legal feest2/(1+r)t2)/ EaD

At cost Increasing loan loss provisions Booking impairments

At Fair Credit spread increase (just not as much as in Credit spread jumps to expected LGD [%] – level
value default) => Mark-to-market loss / P&L-loss => Mark-to-market loss / P&L-loss
1) Note that also “technical default” exists: if an obligor thinks (s)he does not have the obligation to pay (e.g. someone that has leased a car and has
paid maintenance cost). (S)he thinks that the leasing company should pay this. The leasing company thinks that the lessee should pay it. They
128
dispute. The lessee stops the monthly leasing rate ... although financially (s)he would be able to pay it. That’s a technical default. Someone not
paying although financially (s)he would be able to do so.

3.A Definition of credit risk

• Loan loss provisions are “expected” losses. It is priced 1:1 into the loan rate.
• Capital serves to protect the bank against unexpected losses.
It is priced as RoE [%] * Unexpected loss into the loan rate.

(http://www.standardandpoors.com/ratings/articles/en/us/?articleType=HTML&assetID=1245330814766)

• External ratings (Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch) signal the credit risk opinion of a
“specialist”
• Are based on inhouse information (that rating teams) have gathered when they visited
the firm that is to be rated
• Solicited ratings: rated company asks and pays for the rating
• Unsolicited ratings (especially sovereign): rating agency acts alone, not on request
132
3. Banking and credit risk
3.B Credit ratings
Systematic downgrades (like in structured finance) are due to a (systematic)
model error or a (systematic) moral hazard

• Before the crisis, rating agencies


used the same models to determine
the rating of corporate debt and
structured finance (securitisation
deals) ... although structured finance
deals are different (it is a portfolio
of claims, instead of one single
claim, someone has originated the
claims, someone has selected the
claims for this transaction,...)
=> many possibilities “to fool” the
investor ... and the rating agency.

3. Banking and credit risk
3.C Understanding credit risk

• Credit risk applies in the first instance to loan portfolio but also counterparty
exposure on securities and derivatives contracts (Basel III recognises with large
increase in counterparty credit risk charge for IB exposures)

• A first-cut look at credit risk would be to observe size of


Loan loss provision as a percentage of the loan book
Loan loss provision as percentage of pre-provision profit

• But these are not totally transparent as loan assets are themselves growing heading
into a recession; higher leverage must also be considered

• The real risks lie almost invariably in asset classes / sectors / regions experiencing
the fastest growth
Concentration risk
Growth into areas outside the bank’s area of genuine expertise

• Most common time to default: after 45–55 months => substantial delay
=> default statistics (as of today) do not provide the latent danger of the new
business => today’s default rates might look “too good” and would trigger
excessive risk taking if they are used to set limits
135
3. Banking and credit risk
3.C Understanding credit risk

• Typically analysts use the following as measures of credit risk:


- Loan-loss provisions as % of loans
- Non-performing loans (NPL) as % of loans
- Loan-loss provisions relative to NPL (“coverage ratio”)

• Provision is taken at a point where bank feels interest and full principal of the
loan is not collectible. This is subjective management action – so conservative
approach recommended

• On provision bank reduces P&L and reduces the value of the loan
• Provision value as % of loan takes into account any collateral provided
and expected loss-given-default (LGD)
• Loan loss provisions reported are the net provision
after provisions “written back”, e.g., through recoveries on a previous bad loan

• NPL defined as when loan is 90-days past due

136
3. Banking and credit risk
3.C Understanding credit risk

• The act of banking produces credit risk, just like it produces liquidity risk
• In theory credit risk hedging means elimination of credit risk, but in practice it is
really about hedging credit concentration risk
• For practical purposes, it is too expensive and unwieldy to completely transfer all
your credit risk
• The hedge transaction carries Basel III counterparty credit risk charge
• The CDS-Cash basis may be positive, meaning the asset runs at a loss
• An accurate hedge is difficult for many bank loan customer names
• Securitisation (ABS) is only partially feasible.

• In practice then the credit risk hedge where it does use CDS will be to move
concentration risk (concentrated by customer, sector, geography, etc.)

• Ultimately the best credit risk mitigation is sound origination policy …

(II) Business Profile


• II.1 Sector Risk / Threats
- Growth prospects
- Economic cycles
- Vulnerability to technological change
- Vulnerability to state regulation
- Risks due to loss of know-how
Sector risk serves as upper rating limit, i.e. no company can be better than the
sector. Apart from this, sector analysis identifies the success factors of a sector
which will later be included in company-specific analyses.
• II.2 Company-Specific Risk / Threats
- Degree of diversification of the distribution side (customers / regions)
- Implicitly company size => small companies cannot diversify
- Qualification and risk appetite of management
- Strategy and operative planning
- Dependence on key persons
- Restrictions through partners
- Competitive position (market share, price enforcement capability)

• The sample is to be divided into homogenous sub-groups using a binomial tree.


• The nodes of the tree represent alternative decisions and the “leaves” classification
groups.
• “leaves” => rating classes => rating model
• Given a portfolio of clients with their characteristics, the method determines both
the most discriminatory characteristics and the most discriminatory threshold values

3.F Credit Value-at-Risk

• The portfolio risk is not the sum of the individual risks for each obligor (except, if
all obligors are perfectly correlated (if belonging to the same group)).
• Credit portfolio models model the loss distribution of a portfolio of obligors, based
on their individual risk parameters (PD, LGD, EaD) plus the correlation.
• The shape of the distribution and thus the unexpected loss (quantil / VaR) depend
on the correlation.

• Vasicek density:

• By contrast, the expected loss (EL) is additive from the individual expected losses.
In particular, the EL is independent of the correlation. The correlation does not
enter the formula of EL: EL = PD*LGD*EaD

3.G Credit limit setting and rationale

• Determine strategy and business model (which type of customers to serve, which
countries, which capital market funding)
• Set up budgets of risk exposures to serve these customers
• Translate budgeted risk exposures into required capital
• Allocate capital to the business lines and products
• Limits = allocated capital

• Limit setting:
- The default of a single borrower (group) should be absorbable, i.e. should not
breach any regulatory limit
- Concentration limits (per industrial sector, geography, product line) to ensure
diversification
- Establish cut-off score / cut-off rating: no lending to customers with a worse
score / rating than the cut-off’s
- No lending beyond customers’ debt servicing capacity (e.g. no lending at LTV 125
to customers with low income)

• Limits per individual obligors, regions, industrial sectors


• Limit types: volume, risk measure (e.g. VaR, expected loss)

157
3. Banking and credit risk
3.H Loan origination process standards

• Credit risk applies in first instance to loan portfolio but also counterparty exposure
on securities and derivatives contracts (Basel III recognises with large increase in
counterparty credit risk charge for IB exposures)

• A first-cut look at credit risk would be to observe size of


Loan loss provision as a percentage of the loan book
Loan loss provision as percentage of pre-provision profit

• But these are not totally transparent as loan assets are themselves growing heading
into a recession; higher leverage also be considered

• The real risks lie almost invariably in asset classes / sectors / regions experiencing
the fastest growth
Concentration risk
Growth into areas outside the bank’s area of genuine expertise

double

158
3. Banking and credit risk
3.H Loan origination process standards

• A sound loan origination process consists of:


- Approval framework: who can approve what type of loan
(the larger/ riskier/ less profitable the loan, the more (senior) people must agree)
- Cut-off ratings and scores
- Collect information from customer (“Know your customer”)
- Preferably liquid collateral
- Capital request form for large transactions (detailing profitability of transaction /
customer)
- Collateral enablement template: to document usability of collateral
jurisdiction, transferability, minimum disclosure (to obligor upon transfer / third
parties)

4. A primer on securitisation
4.B Reasons for undertaking securitisation

• Funding:
- Support rapid asset growth / lending capacity (as securitisation collects quicker
large amounts of funding than e.g. deposits)
- Diversify funding (adds wholesale funds)
- Reduces funding cost (ABS has better rating than originator => funding cost via ABS
are lower)
- Reduces maturity mismatch because ABS-maturity often matches asset pool
maturity
• Balance sheet management:
- Regulatory capital relief (before Basel III: SPV is not a bank => no (substantial)
regulatory capital requirements, with Basel III: SPVs to be consolidated / taken
on-balance => lower capital relief)
- Economic capital relief
=> increases RoE
• Risk management:
- Credit risk has been transferred to SPV and investors
• Customer relationship:
- Preserving customer relationships with obligor clients whose assets are securitised

4.D Credit rating considerations

• Financial modelling:
- Arranger sets up cash flow model for asset pool (here: Airline tickets receivables)
- Potential variables to simulate: historical sales values, seasonal sales factors,
credit card cash flows
- Output:
- Minimum asset coverage levels to service the tranches
- Debt service coverage ratio
(= Free cash flow / (interest expense + repayment obligations) (=DSCR))
- how much bigger could debt payments be (interest + principal) and they would
still be covered by the free cash flow?)
- the higher the better
- Likelihood that obligations can be serviced (principal and interest payments, fees)
- CDO model:
- cash flows less important, objective is to determine the final form of underlying
portfolio
- Simulations on subsets of pool of assets to achieve target diversity score
(for target rating) and note spread (for lowest funding cost)
- ABS-model: arranger concerned with cash flows and legal obstacles on cash flows
- Loan-to-value: preferably < 1
- Payment-to-income ratio:= loan interest payments / income of borrower per month

5. The yield curve
5.A Money market yield curve

• Yield [Issuer, instrument, maturity]: main measure of return,


e.g. 5% [Germany, bond, 18 months]
• Yield curve: yields for different maturities for the same type of issuer / credit risk
• Yield curves are plotted for any debt instrument (class)
• Important yield curves:
- Government bond yield curve: primary yield curve for domestic capital market
(US: US Treasuries, Euro: German Bund, UK: Gilts)
Is this the risk-free rate? => only for some sovereigns
Is this a liquid rate? => only for some sovereigns (Italy, Germany, US, UK)
- Libor curve: up to 12M, bullet structures
- Swap curves: short-term overnight-index swaps (OIS),
long-term interest rate swaps
- Eurodollar yield curve (= exchange-traded futures curve for short-term
USD deposits in LDN, good indicator of expected money market rates)

190
5. The yield curve
5.A Money market yield curve

• Benchmark curves:
yield curve (of instruments) where yield results from supply and demand
In particular, their prices are not derived from a model!
(These instruments are like ‘commodities’: the price of 1 ounce sugar today is $5.45
because supply and demand set it there. The yield of a government bond / swap is
4.50% because supply and demand set it there.)
Benchmark instruments / yields are: government bond yields, swap rates,
exchange-traded futures, FRA (forward rate agreements), Libor, Eurodollar yields
• Use of yield curves:
- Quants:
Derive discount factors to price (other) instruments,
e.g.: price = cash flow(T) * df(T)
- Traders / issuers:
Forecast future direction of market rates based on today’s curve shape
- Central bank / government:
Extract expected inflation levels
- Portfolio / fund managers:
relative value between different maturities, same instrument (slope opinion)
relative value between different instruments, similar maturity (spread opinion)

191
5. The yield curve
5.B Types of yield curves

• Yield-to-maturity yield curve: per issuer, any coupon


• Coupon yield curve: per issuer, same coupon
(because: same issuer, same maturity might have different yields because of
different coupons (e.g. UK gilt, 5Y, 5% coupon vs. 0% coupon)
Different coupons imply (i) different reinvestment risk (the higher the coupon, the
higher the reinvestment risk) and (ii) different tax treatment (tax rate (capital
gains) ≠ tax rate (coupon income))
• Par yield curve:
Important for primary / issuance market, because bonds are issued at par (= 100)
(and not at 102 or 99.5). Par also means: par yield = coupon !!
If there are no bonds traded at par, par curve is derived from non-par bonds:
non-par bonds => zero-coupon yield curve => coupon par curve
• Zero-coupon yield curve:
This is the true interest rate level as no coupon is paid, i.e. there is no reinvestment
risk and no tax bias. The curve can be derived by bootstrapping from coupon yield
curves (e.g. swap curves)

192

5.B Types of yield curves
Forward rates are not predictors of future spot rates

• Forward rates do not forecast future spot rates under the historical measure.
• Forward rates forecast future spot rates under an artificial probability distribution,
the terminal value distribution, not the historical / statistical distribution.
• Forward rates can be locked in for future periods (via futures or forward rate
agreements (FRA) ) to ensure a certain interest level.
Both futures and FRAs can be understood as tradable future interest rates.

5. The yield curve
5.B Types of yield curves
Deriving a discount curve based on several financial instruments
• Deriving a discount curve: See exercise 2 of Chapter 5 in XLS.
• A discount curve is preferably derived from one instrument class.
• However, many instruments do not span the whole maturity spectrum:
Cash money market rates: ON, ..., 1Y
Interest rate futures: 3M,..., 12M
Interest rate swaps: 1Y, ..., 30Y
• Thus, a discount curve is derived from several different instruments. As each
instrument carries its own cash flow element and default risk element, they cannot
be combined without adjustments.
• 1. Credit risk adjustment:
- Uncollateralised interbank deals have (low) credit rate risk:
cash money market rates, swaps
- Collateralised exchange-traded deals have no credit risk: futures
- However, almost all inter-bank deals are nowadays collateralised
(like at an exchange) => no need for credit risk adjustment
• 2. Payoff adjustments:
- Futures’ pay off is linear in fixing rate: payoff = volume * (rfixing – rcontract)
- FRAs payoff is non-linear in fixing rate: payoff = PV01(rfixing, tenor)* (rfixing – rcontract)
- Non-linearity can be adjusted with non-linear instruments (e.g. options):
Caplets are options (payoff: max(Libor – strike, 0),
If they are out-of-the money they are especially non-linear.

5. The yield curve
5.C Analysing and interpreting the yield curve

• Shape of the yield curve:


Convey information on future direction of interest rates
Important for maturity / slope trades (e.g. 10Y against 1Y)
Level not so important
• Yield curve modelling (e.g. in course “Interest rate derivatives”)
Important to price derivatives where payoff depends on
level (e.g. Caplet: payoff = max(r – strike,0)) or
slope (e.g. Curve steepener: payoff = max(r(10y) – r(1Y), 0) )
• In what follows: fundamental explanations of shape,
not of dynamic (volatility, distribution of rates)
- Expectations hypothesis (explaining any shape of yield curve):
- Liquidity preference hypothesis (explaining upward-sloping yield curve):
- Money substitute hypothesis:
- Segmentation hypothesis:
- Humped yield curve:
- Combined theory:
- Flat yield curve:

5. The yield curve
5.C Analysing and interpreting the yield curve

• In what follows: fundamental explanations of shape,


not of dynamic (volatility, distribution of rates)
- Expectations hypothesis (explaining any shape of yield curve):
Ø return of rolled-short term instruments = return from long-dated instrument
increasing curve => investors expect short-term rates to rise
But: empirics show that forward rates often overestimate future spot rates, i.e.
Ø return of rolled-short term instruments < return from long-dated instrument
=> There must be another reason for investors to hold short-term instruments
- Liquidity preference hypothesis (explaining upward-sloping yield curve):
- investors prefer to invest short-term (lower credit risk, remain flexible to react
to liquidity shock) => to ‘convince’ investors for long-term maturities => pay premium
- Money substitute hypothesis (explaining upward-sloping yield curve):
- short-term bonds: increased demand (increasing price, reducing yield)
because is money substitute
- long-term bonds: increased supply (depressing price, increasing yield) for investors
to minimise cost
- Segmentation hypothesis (explaining any shape):...
- Humped yield curve:...
- Combined theory:...
- Flat yield curve:...

5. The yield curve
5.C Analysing and interpreting the yield curve

• In what follows: fundamental explanations of shape,


- Liquidity preference hypothesis (explaining upward-sloping yield curve): ...
- Segmentation hypothesis (explaining any shape):
- every investor / issuer prefer certain maturity => supply and demand in each maturity
determine the price for that maturity
- if there is less demand / more supply for a certain maturity => prices are lower/
yields are higher than for segments with high demand / low supply
- does not provide any information content (because no explanation on the ‘why’
certain maturities are preferred!)
- Combined theory (explaining any shape):
- Combination of ‘Expectation’ and ‘Liquidity preference’ theory:
0rfi = E[i-1rs1) + Li
Period n 0 1 2 3 4 5
E[rs] 4.50% 4.50% 4.50% 4.50% 4.50%
Ly premium 0.50% 1.00% 1.50% 2.00% 3.00%
Forward rate 0rfn 5.00% 5.50% 6.00% 6.50% 7.50%
Spot rate rsn 5.00% 5.30% 5.80% 6.20% 8.80% 7.00%

- Flat yield curve: unstable, likely to break out to upward- or downward-sloping


- flat, low level: long maturities likely to increase
- flat, high level: long maturities likely to decrease
205

5. The yield curve
5.C Analysing and interpreting the yield curve

• Shape of yield curve also driven by macroeconomic factors:


- short-term rates: driven by availability of cash in the markets (see EUR-area, 2015)
- positive, but modest slope: cheap money, loose monetary policy
- negative slope: often preceding recessions
- also: swap spread (= swap rate – government yield) yields information
content (see next slide)
• Information content/ predictability is important for leaving banks’ interest rate risk
positions open / unhedged (=> see chapters on ALM)

206
5. The yield curve
5.D Determinants of the swap spread

• Swap spread:= swap rate – government yield


- without market frictions: swap spread = average default risk premium of inter-
bank market
- value indicator, i.e. whether it is recommendable for ALM-team to leave interest
rate risk position open or whether to hedge / close it
- Is swap spread = (inter-bank) default risk premium?
Take another risk-free rate: 3M-GC-repo rate
Plot: swap spread 1 = swap rate – government yield (= risk-free)
Plot: Libor spread 2 = 3M-Libor – 3M-GC-rate (= risk-free)
Both: swap rate and 3M-Libor represent inter-bank default risk
=> taking the difference to a risk-free rate should only leave us with the same (!)
inter-bank default risk premium

• Curves are not identical


• Obviously, swap spread contains more
than just inter-bank default premium

207
5. The yield curve
5.D Determinants of the swap spread

• Swap spread
- Level: larger if government yields are higher
- Slope: positive slope => swap spread narrows
- High demand for swaps to hedge (e.g. large trading in bonds, active issuance
market) => swap spread widens (swaps become relatively even more expensive
compared to government bonds)
- Market volatility:
interest rate uncertainty increases wish to hedge => higher swap spread
default uncertainty (e.g. shocks like 9/11): investors seek risk-free (government)
assets => higher swap spread
- Government borrowing:
high government borrowing => increases government yields => narrows swap spread

208
5. The yield curve
5.E Fitting the yield curve

• Small errors in discount curves are magnified in forward curve


=> unsmooth forward curve
=> techniques to smooth discount curves
(trade-off between accuracy and smoothness:
if all observed points are matched => curve is not smooth
if curve is smooth => not every observed point might be matched)
• Reasons for errors in discount curves:
- irregular coupons in bonds (e.g. bank holidays, Sundays)
- need discount factors for non-standard periods (e.g. 2.3 years)
- market liquidity bias in bond prices (some bonds are demanded more (‘on the run’)
than other (‘off the run’))
- prices of bonds not from same time point
- different tax rate of bonds with different coupons
- different bid-ask-spreads in bonds
• Techniques
- Interpolation: linear, cubic (x1,x2,x3), ...
- Parametric: interest-rate models (Vasicek, Longstaff & Schwartz, ...)
- Non-parametric: Nelson & Siegel (1974), ...

209

5. The yield curve
5.F Implementing curves in practice

• Internal unsecured funding curve


- Important as this curve determines break-even rate for transactions
- Decides which transactions (loans, deposits, ...) are profitable and which ones are not
- Decides upon profit split between treasury and business units
- Affects many people, products / departments in a bank => is important
• Formal policy to set Internal Funding Curve (IFC) to ensure that curve is derived every day
using the same methodology, data source, etc., thus to avoid manipulations
• Input:
- Prices (yields) of outstanding bonds of the bank
- Extract risky yield curve (= coupon that bank would have to pay if
it issued a new bond today)
- Derive discount function (from risky yield curve)
- Derive spread for floating rate note (FRN)

• Internal secured cost of fund curve (sCOF): ...

210
B
5. The yield curve
5.F Implementing curves in practice

• Internal unsecured funding curve: …

• Internal secured cost of fund curve (sCOF):


- Used to derive funding curve of a secured transaction
(e.g. covered bond, securitisation, etc.)
- Take OIS-curve as lower bound for sCOF (because ENONIA = rate paid for cash collateral)
as banks’ collateral would never be better than cash
- Unsecured curve is upper bound for sCOF
- A second lower bound: Pfandbrief curve: liquid and secure
- Thus: secured curve lies between the two curves (OIS and unsecured)
- where between: depends on collateral asset class, liquidity of collateral
=> case-specific

• Driver of interest rate risk:


- different currency (risk-free) interest rate curves
• Main sources of interest rate risk exposure:
- mismatch in IR-maturities between assets and liabilities (e.g. 3Y ≠ 5Y ≠ 3M-Euribor ≠ 6M-Euribor)
- prepayment risk (borrowers unexpectedly pay back their mortgage early,
if interest rates have decreased since they entered the mortgage,
What they really do: they go to another bank, take a cheaper mortgage and pay back the old one)
• Main hedges of interest rate risk: IR-swaps

• Ly book: is a portfolio of floaters (e.g. 6M-Euribor) of different liquidity maturities


Because: all positions have the same IR-rate (e.g. 6M-Euribor) there is no interest rate risk
left in the liquidity book (this was the objective when transferring all fixed-rate interest
cash flows to the interest rate book and receiving / paying 6M-Euribor cash flows): PV01 ~ 0 EUR !!
• Main sources of liquidity risk:
- Roll-over risk (funding matures, not rolled-over and bank cannot find new funding for remaining
assets) if there are mismatches in liquidity maturities between assets and liabilities
- Unexpected withdrawals (deposits, credit lines, liquidity facilities)
• Main hedges of liquidity risk:
- Liquidity buffer
- (Liquidity lines at other banks that can be drawn in case of emergency – works like your overdraft
facility at your bank. Only, that these liquidity lines are not reliable: there have been cases where
counterparties have just cancelled these lines exactly when the bank wanted to draw on them.
Yes, the bank has a right to draw of them, because these lines are in theory “irrevocable” lines.
Yes, the bank can go to court and sue the counterparty – but at this stage, the bank might
have been illiquid. And even if not: the counterparty prefers to pay a penalty than to borrow
funds to a bank that is close to collapse. Thus, in the LCR, liquidity lines are not allowed
as part of the liquidity reserve.) 219

224
6. Asset–liability management I
6.B Liquidity gap

• Hedging liquidity risk:


1.Matching asset and liability maturities: only possible for banks that are funded
at capital or interbank markets (e.g. mortgage banks, investment banks, all banks
without retail & corporate deposits). It is possible, but almost no bank does it,
because it is too cumbersome.
Banks that are funded by retail or corporate deposits: it is the client and not the
bank who decides upon the funding maturity. For these types of (commercial / retail)
banks, matching liquidity asset and liability maturities are impossible.
2.Liquidity buffer: All1 banks hold liquidity buffers, i.e. very liquid instruments like
risk-free deposits at central bank (– 0.20% at ECB, 14/2/2015), T-bills, Covered Bonds
3.Allocate funding evenly across maturities and not 100% in one bucket:

4.Monitor which day how much funding matures and avoid maturing in holiday periods.
1) Note, that even if all cash flows are matched, this would mean: Outflows – Inflows = 0. You know from the LCR, that inflows are capped, i.e.:
100% >= Ly Reserve/(Outflows – min[75%*outflows, Inflows]). Thus, even banks that go for “cash flow matching” have to hold a Ly-reserve because of
225
LCR!
6. Asset–liability management I
6.B Liquidity gap

• How much of undated / non-maturing assets and liabilities is stable,


i.e. still available within the next 12 months?
• Example:1
Bank has time series of deposit volumes of the last 10 years.
Bank computes annual changes of deposits volumes and takes 1%-quantile (here: – 15.80).
Using the model: bank invests the 1%-quantile of deposit balance in liquid assets
and the rest long-term. Thus, in 99% of the years, the Ly-reserve is sufficient to cover
deposit outflows and the long-term assets do not have to be “touched”/ sold
(with a presumably large loss).

6. Asset–liability management I
6.C Managing liquidity

• Usually, there is a funding gap in the short-maturities that is


neutralised in the longer maturities by maturing assets.
• Banks plan their new business, the prolongations of existing business
(loans and term deposits) to estimate the expected funding needs.
• These funding needs can be closed with spot funding or forward funding:

Bank 1 Bank 2

227
6. Asset–liability management I
6.C Managing liquidity

• Case study 6.1 (page 366ff)


• Important rows (here): gap, gap as % of total funding, Gap limit
Important, because “gap as % of total funding” is the limited quantity
• Most banks have limits on the quantity “Net gap”, because it is the
cumulative liquidity need that is not covered by inflows and thus might be
covered by liquidity reserve (if one assumes a worst case scenario that no external
funding can be raised!).

7. Asset–liability management II
7.A Basic concepts
Liquidity is a term with distinct but related meanings depending on the
context.
1. Asset / Market Liquidity (Trader):
Asset = liquid, if can be quickly converted into cash without material liquidation
cost (asset liquidity is also called “market liquidity”)
2. Institutional Liquidity (Treasurer):
Institution = liquid, if it is able to meet all payment obligations ( CFt ) on time
Inflows  Outflows
CFt  CFt
Liabilities are of shorter term than assets => Outflows are of shorter term than inflows

If CFt  CFt : Need Liquidity Management


L t : Asset Sale, Ft : new Funding
CFt  L t  Ft  CFt
3. National Liquidity (Central Banker):
Liquidity : = Means of payment or legal substitutes1
= Money Basis (Bank notes + Central Bank Deposits)
+ Book money (Money created by commercial banks)
*) All Assets that have legal payment character.
231
7. Asset–liability management II
7.A Basic concepts

• Foundations of ALM
- simultaneously manage assets and liabilities
- manage balance sheet, i.e. have an aggregate / macro view
=> aggregate cash flows, aggregate fixed / floating interest rate volumes, aggregate
interest income / expenses, aggregate interest rate sensitivity ... and not per product.
• 4 key concepts:
1 Liquidity
2 Money market term structure
3 (Liquidity and interest) maturity profile of the book
4 Default risk

• Interest rate gap management:


- Manageable with derivatives (FRA: locks in future spot rates, swaps: fix  floating)
- Note: To speculate in IR, bank does not need loans and deposits, a portfolio of swaps
could perfectly replicate the IR-position of a large bank. Thus, without doing loans /
deposits, one could take the same IR-risk / chance as a large bank.
• Liquidity rate gap management:
- managed with cash instruments (bonds, commercial papers, securitisations) as no
liquidity derivatives (except Ly lines) exist!

7. Asset–liability management II
7.B Interest rate risk and source

• Banking book:
- Loans and deposits, held to maturity, valued “at cost”, i.e. not at market prices
- Shortage / excess of customer funds are funded / invested in wholesale / inter-bank
market
• ALM:
- Measurement and monitoring of interest rate and liquidity risk
- Managing any balance sheet constraints: liquidity gap limits, debt policy,
any Basel III / CRR – ratio (CET1-R, T1-R, TC-R, LR, LCR, NSFR)
- Hedging of interest rate and liquidity risk
• Open interest rate positions always affect a result metric:
- Open fixed rate positions: constant in earnings, but volatile in value
- Open fixed floating rate positions: constant in value, but have volatile earnings

234
7. Asset–liability management II
7.B Interest rate risk and source

• Sources of interest rate risk (in the banking book)


- Gap risk: difference in interest rate maturity, sensitive to parallel shifts (change of level)
- Yield curve risk: sensitive to rotation (change of slope)
- Basis risk: assets and liabilities are priced off
different yield curves
Example: Assets linked to “US prime rate”
Liabilities linked to Eurodollar Libor
(Eurodollar Libor = interest rate for US deposits
in LDN)

- Run-off risk: risk that depositors withdraw deposits because deposit interest rates are
low (compared to non-deposit investment alternatives like stocks, funds, etc.)
Note: I disagree with the text book. Interest rates are rarely the reason for large
withdrawals, but rather a loss of confidence. The EUR-area has currently extremely low
interest rates and customers do not massively withdraw deposits.
- Option risk: customers can terminate ahead of contractual arrangements
(e.g. for mortgages, for callable bonds, etc.) 235

• The IR-gap directly translates into a change in Net Interest Income:

Gap = Air – Lir (Volume of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities)


ΔNII = Gapcum * Δr = (Air – Lir ) * Δr(Δr : interest rate relevant for valuation)
Question: why Δr does not
have a maturity index, like Δrt?

• Positively gapped
• NII increase in rising interest rates because new
funding at roll-over dates (100 at t=0.5, 300 at
t=4) becomes more expensive.
• NII grows in decreasing rate environment

• Popular maturity buckets: [0,0.25y), [0.25y,0.5y), [0.5y,1y), [1y,2y), [2y,5y), [0.5y,∞)

7.B Interest rate risk and source
Interest rate gap analysis

• Assumptions underlying gap analysis (that ΔNII ~ gap):


- only measures NII-changes due to changes of level (not change of slope)
- re-pricing in bucket take place at mid-point, e.g. repricing in [1y,2y) at 1.5y

• Weaknesses:
- Static: today’s asset & liability mix are taken as constant, new business
not incorporated
- No consideration of time value of money, i.e. measures the change in NII
(e.g. ΔNII in [1y,2y) = 10 mEUR and ΔNII in [2y,5y) = 10 mEUR).
Total change = 10 mEUR + 10 mEUR, but one should somehow present-value the
changes to make them comparable.
- Arbitrary (and no objective procedure) setting of time periods
([1y,2y) and why not [1.1y,2.1y)?)

242
7. Asset–liability management II
7.C The ALM desk

• ALM desk can be:


- Cost centre: hedge all risks (profit target = 0) and minimise operating cost
- Minimise cost of funding: keep funding risk positions open to benefit from decreasing
rates and close them (to hedge against rising rates)
ALM-profit = actual NII – fully hedged NII
(Gaps) are monitored and limited
- Profit centre:
ALM-(periodic) profit = actual NII – fully hedged NII
or ALM-(value) profit = ΔPV (Assets) – ΔPV (Liabilities)
Exposure measured as gap or ΔNII99%, ΔPVEQ99%
• Traditional tasks of ALM desk:
1.Interest-rate risk management: measure IR-exposure,
take opinion, i.e. that there will be a profit for the (subjectively) expected rate
change: ΔrOpinion
ΔNII = Gap * Δr = (Air – Lir ) * ΔrOpinion >> 0
(and if the opposite (–) happens: ΔNII = Gap * Δr = (Air – Lir ) * (– ΔrOpinion) << 0 )
2.Liquidity funding management: set up Ly reserve and keep it >= (regulatory) limits
3.Report on: exposure (= limit usage) and compare them to limits
4.Compute regulatory ratios and ensure that they are beyond regulatory minima

243
7. Asset–liability management II
7.D Liquidity and interest rate risk

• Note that if this table was a liquidity gap table,


“variable mortgages”
(~50% of balance sheet) have a maturity of
“<1M”, i.e. they are linked to 1M-Libor and seem
to be repayable at every IR-reset date and
assumed to be repaid.
• To be a liquidity gap table, the IR-derivatives
must enter with their cash flows, not with their
notionals (notionals are used in IR-gap table).
• So, maybe this table is an IR-gap table ...

If it was a liquidity gap table:


• This bank has a net funding need
in the next 1M of 1,351,090,000 GBP
and in the subsequent 2 months of
1,234,540,000 GBP.
• Note that all term funding positions are bucketed
at their legal maturity, i.e. with the (worst case)
assumption of “no roll-over”.
• Note that all term assets are bucketed at legal
maturity, i.e. with (best case) assumption of
“not roll over”.

244
7. Asset–liability management II
7.D Liquidity and interest rate risk

• Some products cannot enter with their contractual profile


because customers deviate from contracts. Thus, the behaviour needs to be modelled.
- Demand deposits: are not demanded daily => split into core and unstable portion
Core portion: bucketed in long maturity
Unstable portion: bucketed short-term / ON
Example:
[ON, 1W): 10%, [1W, 1M): 15%, [1M, 3M): 15%, [3M, 6M): 15%,
[6M, 12M): 15%, [12M, 24M): 10%, [24M, 36M): 10%, [36M, ∞): 10%
- Credit lines, liquidity facilities: model drawdown behaviour
(average and peak drawings, average drawing: funded long-term,
peak drawings: backed with liquidity reserve)
- Prepayment of loans: some loans allow customers to prepay. Prepayment rates to be
estimated because bucketing the loan at its contractual schedule would be wrong.
Prepayment rates: often used historical (averages and peaks),
sometimes augmented by explanatory macroeconomic factors like GDP,
IR-differential (today’s rate of a new mortgage – contract rate of existing mortgage)

245
7. Asset–liability management II
7.D Liquidity and interest rate risk

• Limiting the funding gap: what should be the maximum tolerable funding gap (= limit)?
- Sum of all lines that the bank has with other banks
But: (1) This amount is not known with certainty to us. (2) This amount can change
from one day to another, if the other bank runs out of capital / liquidity, they will
not lend to us anymore. And even if they have plenty of capital and liquidity, they
might not want to lend to us when there are rumours in the market that we are
struggling ... (but this is when we would need money).
- Liquidity reserves: ... next slide

in case of rumours

246
7. Asset–liability management II
7.D Liquidity and interest rate risk

• Limiting the funding gap: what should be the maximum tolerable funding gap (= limit)?
- Sum of all lines that the bank has with other banks
- Liquidity reserves [ ] = capacity to be self-funded, effectively counterbalances
any unexpected liquidity needs.

• We would have a limit breach ( ) in either case: without additional liquidity


reserve (after 2 weeks) and with additional liquidity reserve after 7 weeks
• Banks are usually OK with breaches after 4 weeks (1 month), because the regulation
(LCR) also only cares for the next 4 weeks (30 days).
• Also: after 30 days, a bank Survival time т = 4 weeks
should have been able to
convince investors that it is
fundamentally healthy and
only has a liquidity problem,
not a solvency problem.
• Thus: new funding should in case of rumours
be available.

247
7. Asset–liability management II
7.D Liquidity and interest rate risk

• Interest rate gap:


- Interest rate gap report:
Gap [in bucket i] = volume of assets that have a fixed rate in that bucket
– volume of liabilities that have a fixed rate in that bucket
Used to approximate ΔNII = gapcum * Δr
- PVBP-report: by how much market
value changes in case that yield
curve shifts by 1 bp:
(1 basis point = 0.01% = 1/10,000)
Euro:
(i) PVBP > 0: ON, 1W, 1M, 2M, >= 5Y
Increase of 1bp increases value
=> fixed rate Liab. > fixed-rate A.
(ii) PVBP < 0: 3M – 4Y
=> fixed rate A. > fixed rate Liab.
Because fixed rate assets lose in value (PVBP<0), fixed rate liabilities gain in value
(PVBP>0) if yield curve shifts by +1 bp. In a bucket with PVBP > 0 across all assets and
liabilities, this means that fixed-rate liabilities dominate (and vice versa).
• Only fixed rate assets and fixed rate liabilities to be included
(for liquidity gap analysis: all assets and all liabilities to be included).
248
7. Asset–liability management II
7.D Liquidity and interest rate risk

• Duration gap analysis:


- same as PVBP, duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the market value (and not
NII) w.r.t. interest rate changes:

NPV PVBP  PVBP  y  dPV

  PVBP  y ( D)  NPV PVBP

- => Gap (interest rate sensitivity) can also be approx’ed as (modified) duration gap:
ΔNPV = –modD * Δy
Total
modD

Instead of PVBP, the table would


contain modD for the different buckets.
- Attention: modD is only a good approximation for small Δy (say <0.30%). Only parallel
shifts (because yield is shifted, not zero rates).

- Keep earnings volatility against a curve shift low
- 80% < Air/ Lir – cumulative ratio < 110%, for 6M buckets, 12M buckets
- Corrective actions of stress tests might drop NII by more than 10%
- More sophisticated banks: volume gap, duration gap, PVBP gap
- +/–15% < gap-to-earnings assets +/–20%
- Simulations: define starting balance sheet and income statement
(might be today’s balance sheet + expected / planned growth)
run interest rate scenarios (+/–100bps, +/– 250bps parallel, steepening / flattening,
increase in IR-volatility, change in swap spreads) and derive new balance sheet

8. Asset–liability management III: Trading and hedging principles
8.A Trading approach

• ALM: to speculate (take positions, profit centre) or to hedge


• Trading strategies:
- Maturity speculation: long-term receiving vs. short-term paying
(funded: long-term loans funded by short-term deposits,
derivative: receiver swap)
- Speculation on spread between 2 types of collateral:
(1) Owning collateral (trading at Libor – x bp)
repo (= receiving cash and lending the collateral)
using the cash to buy CD with Libor + y bp
=> Spread earned: (y – x) bp (as long as spread doesn’t tighten!)
(2) Owning GC collateral
repo (= receiving cash and lending the GC collateral)
using the cash to lend against emerging market collateral (+4%)
=> Earns the spread, risking that spread tightens
- Special collateral: ...

8. Asset–liability management III: Trading and hedging principles
8.A Trading approach

• ALM: to speculate (take positions, profit centre) or to hedge


• Trading strategies:
- Maturity speculation
- Speculation on spread between 2 types of collateral:
- Special collateral: instruments that are “en vogue”, i.e. demanded because:
- government bond to be issued is shortened by traders
- outright short-selling (betting on a price drop)
- hedging (shortening gov-bond that corporate bond is benchmarked against)
- derivatives trading creating demand for specific stock
- dividend speculation: if expected to pay low dividend
=> those that have shortened the instrument must buy it back which generates the
extra demand
- Consequences of “being traded special”:
- giving it away (in a repo) lowers the repo (funding) rate (below GC 1 collateral)
- receiving it in a reverse repo makes the repo more expensive
(above GC collateral)

*) GC : General Collateral

• Interest rate policy


- Targets and limits for IR-exposure
- Measure to quantify IR-exposure
- Daily measurement and monitoring of deviation from targets and breaching limits
- Potential actions to return exposure back within limits
- IR-scenarios: parallel shifts, pivotal shifts
- No IR-risk in customer portfolios
• 1. Trading book IR-exposure: DV01, in trading systems
• 2. Customer book: no IR-risk left in customer book. Transferred (via internal swaps)
to IR-mgt in treasury.
• 3. ALCO book: contains special items
- Solvency risk buffer 1: Equity capital (usually duration = 10y)
- Liquidity risk buffer
- Placements with local branches and money markets (intra-firm financing)
- IR-hedges at group level
- FTP sweep book

8.B Interest rate hedging tools
Interest rate futures Forward Rate Agreements Interest rate swaps Options Bond futures

• To hedge interest rates in future periods [of 90 days length]


• Traded futures: Sterling future, Eurodollar, Euribor futures
• Rate of a future fixed-term deposit (buy future)/ loan (sell future) of 90 days maturity
• Derivative, because the deposit is actually never exchanged, only the interest rate
streams are paid / received.
• Example: As of 1 June:
6.78% (93.22)
Locks in 6.78% at
As of 1 Sept:
1 June for [1 Sept
6.25% (93.705)
– 1 Dec] going Sept
– Future short
time

1 June 1 Sept 1 Dec


(today)

Effective lending rate = 6.25% + (93.705 – 93.22)/100


= 6.25% + 0.485% = 6.735% = the one from the future contract at 1 June

• The OTC1-equivalent of futures (thus: customisable in volume, maturity, rate)


• Quoted as (e.g.) 3 x 15: 5.5% meaning that this FRA guarantees an interest rate for
the period [in 3M – in 15M] a rate of 5.5% p.a.

8.C Interest rate swap hedging application
Interest rate futures Forward Rate Agreements Interest rate swaps Options Bond futures

• Exchange of floating against fixed interest rate cash flows linked to a certain
notional
• Traded OTC (or on inter-bank trading platforms)
• Cleared: centrally (e.g. via Eurex Clearing, LCH Clearnet, SwapClear, ...)
• By far, largest IR-derivative market

8. Asset–liability management III: Trading and hedging principles
8.C Interest rate swap hedging application
Interest rate futures Forward Rate Agreements Interest rate swaps Options Bond futures

• Present value hedges:

Optimal hedge ratio = PVBPbond / PVBPswap

5Y, 6.50% coupon, semi-annual, act / 365, 1,000,000 EUR

PVBPbond = Mduration(today(), today() + 5*365 , 6.50%, 0%, 2, 3 ) / (1+6.50%)


*1,000,000*0.01% = 417 EUR

• PVBPSwap = 400 EUR


=> Optimal hedge ratio = PVBPbond / PVBPswap = 417 EUR / 400 EUR = 1.0425

• Bond and swap only strictly match at the day preceding an interest reset date as the
PVBP of the floating leg will be close to zero. (The floating leg is a short-term fixed-
rate bond. If tomorrow is reset date, this is an ON-bond, i.e. very low interest rate.
If the next reset date is in 6M, the PVBP of the floating leg is not zero and thus the
PVBPSwap <> PVBPFixed Bond of fixed leg ).
• Overnight index swaps: floating leg is not indexed to 3M / 6M Libor, but to an
Overnight rate like EONIA, SONIA, etc.

8.D Interest rate risk exposure and option hedging
Interest rate futures Forward Rate Agreements Interest rate swaps Options Bond futures
• Example: Table 8.5
• Caps: max[Libor – Strike, 0]: pays out in increasing rates
Is a hedge for those that lose in increasing rates
(e.g. floating-rate borrowers, fixed-rate investors)
• Floors: max[Strike – Libor, 0]: pays out in decreasing rates
Is a hedge for those that lose in decreasing rates
(e.g. floating rate investors, fixed-rate borrowers)
• Options:
- Hedge downside / risk, keep upside / chance
- Have asymmetric payoff profile (E[payoff] <> 0)
=> have a price to compensate the writer of the option to take the downside
=> price = EQ[payoffT]/(1+rT)T
• Example: => next slide

8.E Hedging using bond future contracts
Interest rate futures Forward Rate Agreements Interest rate swaps Options Bond futures

• The underlying of an interest rate futures is the interest rate, the underlying of a
bond future is a (hypothetical) bond
• Physical delivery of bond at maturity
• Exchange-traded, i.e. settled at central clearing house
• Contract does not specify a particular bond (via its ISIN), but only notional coupon
=> Many bonds are deliverable
=> Every bond has a conversion factor (published by exchange) to equalise coupon
and accrued interest across all deliverable bonds
=> Cheapest among them is “cheapest to deliver”
Hedge ratio = volatility of bond hedged / volatility of hedging instrument
The more volatile the bond, the more future contracts are needed
Number of contracts = Nominal(bond) / Nominal(future) * BPVBond / BPVfut
BPVfut = BPVCTD-bond / ConvFactorCTD-bond

273
8. Asset–liability management III: Trading and hedging principles
8.F Hedging credit risk with credit derivatives

• Credit Default Swap (particular credit risk derivative):


- Sells the credit risk without selling the loan (synthetic credit risk)
because bank does not want the borrower to realise that it is not the bank
anymore that bears the credit risk, but someone else. Some borrowers have
prohibited the sale of their loan. ...
- “Buy protection”  exposure is transfered to CDS-counterparty
- Example: we buy protection against BMW-default from Deutsche Bank.
If underlying BMW defaults, Deutsche Bank pays us LGD [EUR]. From BMW’s
liquidator, we receive Recovery [EUR].
Recovery [EUR] + LGD [EUR] = Notional, thus we recover the full notional.
Note: Now, the only credit risk that is left is that Deutsche Bank might default (=
credit counterparty risk). If Deutsche Bank posts collateral ( the CDS is
collateralised), the counterparty credit risk is almost zero: in case Deutsche
defaults, we use the collateral to buy a new CDS (restoring the default
protection).
- CDS only exist for large borrowers, like: sovereigns, large corporates (Vestas,
Danske, Grundfos, ...) and sectors
- There are no CDS for retail or SME customers => credit risk only transferable on
the portfolio level, i.e. for a package of loans (e.g. Credit-linked Note (CLN) or ABS)

• Business planning:
performance of existing businesses (return on capital) to identify outperformers and
underperformers
Discussion of new business (if accepted => business line to go ahead)
• Hedging policy:
risk-taking, limits, hedge instruments to be used

276
9. Asset–liability management IV: The ALCO
The message of each plot becomes more pronounced by adding objective
benchmarks that assess whether actual figures underperform or outperform.
• ALCO reporting:
Cumulative liquidity gap: Inflows & outflows by business line: Fixed vs. floating rates:
When are large funding needs? Which business line needs funding? In which buckets are the highest gaps?

Asset volume and asset income: Volumes and income per business line
What asset income expected for which bucket? Which business lines generate highest return?1
Nice plots, but what is
missing?
=> Objective benchmarks
that state that the actual
figures are outperforming
/ underperforming.
Useful benchmarks:
planning figures, peer
group values
*) Note that the highest income does not mean “highest shareholder value”: the business line might have to take excessive risks to
generate a high income. Other lines might have less income, but are much safer. => Risk-adjusted benchmarks are important. 277

CAPITAL & LIQUIDITY RISK – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 30


SEPTEMBER 2009
Liquidity Status Outlook

All reg ratios within limits and Loan/Dep ratio continues to be within target level; The Maturity Transformation measure is within the set internal limit; Customer deposits are below the set
internal limit of 40% of total funding; There remains an internal counterparty funding limit breach of 14.0%; The adjusted cumulative cashflow survival horizon is 2 weeks.
Liquidity Ratios
The Loan/Deposit ratio increased to 81% by the
end of August, after the restrictions on treasury
for placing deposits on the interbank market
Loan Deposit Ratio
were slightly relaxed, now allowing a limited
100% amount to be deposited for 3 mths and 6mths.

12.A Bank liquidity

• Liquidity Risk (definition of Deutsche Bank, Annual Report 2013, PDF-page 272):
Risk arising from our potential inability to meet all payment obligations when they
come due or only at excessive costs.
• Management board:
defines our liquidity risk strategy, and in particular our tolerance for liquidity
(= survival time to determine buffer size, limits)
• Treasury:
function is responsible for the management of our liquidity and funding risk globally as
defined in the liquidity risk strategy. Our liquidity risk management framework is
designed to identify, measure and manage our liquidity risk position.
• Liquidity Risk Control: responsible for the internal reporting on liquidity and funding
which is submitted to the Management Board at least weekly via a Liquidity Scorecard.
In addition LRC is responsible for validation of the bank’s liquidity risk models.
• Operational (intraday) liquidity mgt:
managing daily payments queue, forecasting CFs and factoring Central Banks access.
• Tactical (weekly / monthly) liquidity mgt:
dealing with access to secured and unsecured funding sources.
• Strategic liquidity:
maturity profile of all assets and liabilities (Funding Matrix) and our issuance strategy.

12.A Bank liquidity
The crisis was triggered by solvency concerns (IKB, Fannie Mae) but materialised as liquidity crisis (banks run out of
funding). Mistrust spread and inter-bank funding was frozen until market had a clear opinion on who is strong and
who is weak => solvency phase “Lehman”.

12. Principles of bank liquidity management
12.B The “10 principles of liquidity management”

1. Fund illiquid assets with core customer deposits (because the latter are more stable
and at lower risk to be withdrawn, LCR-outflow weight: 5%!, NSFR-ASF-weight: 90%!)
But keep in mind: interest rate wise, deposits are short-term (imperfect floaters)
2. Use long-term wholesale funding (deposits from insurance companies, other banks,
investment funds, ...), if core customer deposits are not available.
(NSFR-ASF-weight: 100%!)
3. If using wholesale funding, equally spread maturities.
4. Maintain liquidity buffers of instantly liquid assets
(cash, central bank deposits, government bonds, AA-rated corporate and covered
bonds with minimum issuance volume of 500 mio EUR, AA-rated, but volume >250
mio, ...)
5. Liquidity contingency plan: process that describes who should do what in times of a
liquidity shortage
6. Know your central bank access possibilities (and test them)
7. Know all contractual and non-contractual, but reputational Ly lines to SPVs, etc.
8. Use multiple metrices to gather the complete Ly situation
9. Internal funds transfer pricing must correctly measure and transfer funding cost and
buffer cost
10. Risk mgt policy must be owned by Board (see example Deutsche Bank)

3. Report:
- Objective of report
- Bank’s financials (balance sheet, P&L-forecast)
- Survival time (time without external support) in stress scenarios and
in “business as usual” scenario
3 types of stress tests:
a) name-specific:
- liquidity / solvency rumour against the bank
- multi-notch downgrade
b) market-stress:
- unforeseen short-term market-wide dislocations that seed uncertainty and
concerns => withdrawals / retention of own liquidity
- uncertainty of value of financial assets (e.g. Subprime securitisations)
- certain asset classes remain illiquid for long time

12. Principles of bank liquidity management
12.C Liquidity risk management: The UK regulator’s view

1. Regulatory risk drivers:


- Drastic reduction / complete dry up of money market funds
(CD, CP, Medium Term Notes)
- Deposits that need to be withdrawn in case of downgrade (e.g. local authorities,
government agencies, central banks, money market funds, insurance companies)
- One product depositors are prone to withdraw quickly
- Deposits from large corporates (with active treasuries / Bloomberg (to quickly pick
up news, etc.)
- Secured funding might disappear (if secured with low quality collateral)
- Dependence on parent entities (intra-group funding risk)
- Insufficient collateral for payment systems
- Cross-currency Ly risk: e.g. if Danske NY is funded via Danske Copenhagen (with
DKK funding and swapped into USD, FX-swaps might not be available in a stress
situation)
- Retail funding risk: internet accounts, wealthy retail customers, one account
customers are prone to quickly withdraw
- Off-balance sheet items: contingent liabilities (credit / liquidity lines), letters of
guarantees, liquidity lines for conduits / SPVs
- Hampered market liquidity for certain assets (e.g. Low quality collateral)

1. Contractual maturity mismatches
2. Available unencumbered assets: reported to regulators, important because these
assets can be used in case of default to satisfy any investor
Encumbered assets have been separated for the specific obligor (secured funding)
3. Funding concentration by time band: no peak maturing positions

15. Internal funds transfer pricing policy
15.A The concept of internal funds pricing

1. Importance of funds transfer pricing:


- price in all cost components of a loan / deposit / derivative / any product
(the same as the cost of a car is the sum of the cost of all individual components)
- allocate costs, risks and benefits appropriately
(this means: if two business lines have a different risk profile (e.g. the investment
bank and the retail bank) they should have two different FTP-curves.
Very often, there is one (average) cost of funds which penalises resilience and
favours volatile business lines. This is a problem if a commercial bank has to
outsource its trading activities into a separate (self-funded) entity (in EU: Volcker
Rule). This entity cannot be funded by cheap retail deposits anymore, but has to fund
at (competitive) capital market rates. This separation stops with the implicit cross-
subsidisation of trading units and potentially reduces the profitability of trading
units (and bonuses of investment bankers).
- cost of funds for illiquid (non-securitisable / non-repoable) assets:
bank’s secondary market / public senior unsecured curve
- cost of funds for securitisable assets (prime mortgages, ...): bank’s covered bond
curve (if not 100% of prime mortgage securitised, but 80%:
blended curve = 80%*covered bond curve + 20% senior unsecured curve

 Bank management: business units contract profitable loans and profitable deposits.
 Risks are to be transferred and to be managed centrally (pooled!) in treasury.
 The required infrastructure (staff, buildings, IT) is centrally managed by “Operations”.
 Questions to be answered:
What are profitable loans (minimum loan rate) and what are profitable deposits (maximum deposit rate)?
What are the prices for internal transfer of risks and services?

15.B Benchmark funds transfer pricing policy

1. Transfer pricing policy:


1.1 Objectives:
- consistent (not constant!) liquidity pricing across business lines
- transfers interest rate and funding risk to treasury
- transfer pricing cost must be used for product pricing (to derive break-even rates)
1.2 Types of cost:
- direct cost: actual rates payable for each tenor
- indirect cost: liquidity buffer cost
1.3 Gross approach with marginal cost, e.g.
1.3.1 Gross: each loan and each deposit is priced on a stand-alone basis.
If a loan is netted with a deposit (net = 0), both loan and deposit have their
own transfer price and not a transfer price of 0 because the net volume is 0.
1.3.2 Marginal: each instrument received its individual tenor-dependent rate and not
a rate averaged across all instruments (and thus averaged across all tenors)
1.4 Components:
- cost of funds
- regulatory cost (e.g. Additional cost for LCR, if LCR requires higher buffer)
- Ly buffer cost
- Bid-offer-spread: in some banks to reflect the administrative cost that Treasury has
to be an internal market maker for liquidity
