There are two aspects of risk: frequency and severity
Frequency
• What are the odds an event will happen?
• Also called the Probability of Default or PD
• Think of it as the number of bad outcomes out of all outcomes. Normally expressed as a percentage 1 in 750,000 is the odds of getting struck by lightning or 1 in 195,249,054 is the odds of winning the Powerball lottery
Severity
• When a loss event happens how much do I lose?
• Also called the Loss Given Default or LGD
• Another way to look at it is gross loss net of any recoveries
• Normally expressed as a percent total loss is 100% or I lost 75% of the value of the investment
Expected Loss
• Frequency and severity combine to generate expected loss
• This is the amount one expects to lose from taking on a particular action or investment

What risks do banks face?
• Credit/Underwriting Risk • Interest Rate Risk • Price (Market Risk) • Liquidity Risk • Foreign Exchange Risk • Transaction (Operational Risk) • Compliance (Legal) Risk • Strategic Risk • Reputational Risk • Earnings Risk

Interest Rate Risk
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 7
According to OCC’s Fall 2015 Semiannual Risk Perspective Report released December 16, 2015 interest rate risk is one of the OCC’s top supervisory concerns The ongoing low interest rate environment poses additional concerns as banks reach for yield by extending asset duration trends. Deposit stability, a significant component of IRR modeling, is difficult to assess because of recent deposit inflows and the potential for increased competition for retail deposits. The low interest rate environment continues to pressure net interest margins as asset yields decline and the cost of funds has stabilized at historic lows.
Interest Rate Risk is a concern
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 8
How do changes in interest rates impact you?
You invest in a 5 year CD at 3%. Over the course of a year, the 5-year CD rate increases to 5%. • Has the income on your CD changed? • Has the value of your CD changed?
You take out a 30 year mortgage at 4%. Over the course of a year the mortgage rate rises to 6% • Do you refinance? • What if rates dropped to 2%?
Suppose you lend money at a variable rate of LIBOR+5%. Over the course of a year, LIBOR rises 5% • Are you better- or worse-off? • Does your answer change if rates increase 30%?
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 9
Banks face the same risks from changes in interest rates
• Rising interest rates increase income when assets re-price faster than liabilities.
• Rising interest rates decrease income when liabilities re-price faster than assets.
• Falling rates have effects opposite from those listed above.
Impact to Income
• Rising interest rates decrease the value of assets, with longer-dated assets suffering the most
• Rising interest rates increase the value of liabilities, with longer-dated liabilities gaining the most.
• Overall impact is determined by the net asset and liability values
Impact to Equity
• On some products, such as mortgages and C&I loans, customers have an option to pre-pay, extend, or draw as rates change
• On some products, such as C&I and credit card, the bank has an option to reduce exposures as rates change

Repricing Risk
•When there are timing differences in the maturity of assets and liabilities •Because banks are financial intermediaries this is one of the most common risks and most discussed of the types of interest rate risk
•These repricing differences cause the banks income and underlying economic value to change due to changes in interest rates
Description
•The bank has a long term mortgages that are funded with short term deposits. Example
•Banks typically take their balance sheet and bucket assets and liabilities by term to maturity. Then they compare what the amounts in the overall buckets.
•Further, banks may shock rates by a predetermined amount say 100bp and see how the net interest income may change
•These can be found in the banks maturity gap and duration reports
Measurement
•Banks can use several strategies to manage an imbalance. If the bank is primarily a mortgage lender then odds are they are not going to change the type of lending. However, they may be able to change funding to prevent the mismatch. For instance marketing 5 and 10 year fixed rate and fixed term CD’s. These longer term CD’s will help address the mismatch.
•Another alternative is banks may enter into an interest rate swap where they pay a fee to pay a floating rate and receive fixed rate payments. That way the floating rate payment coincides with their shorter term floating rate deposits but they fix payments in equal to their interest income on the fixed rate loans
Strategies

Yield Curve Risk
• When changes in the slope or shape of the yield curve cause adverse effects on the banks net interest income and economic value Description
• Assume the bank has a position in 10 year government bonds funded by 5 year government notes. If there was a parallel shift they might be hedged however a steepening in the yield curve would adversely effect the economic value of this position
Example
• Banks can run various curve steepening, or inverted curve scenarios as well as yield curve twists to determine the potential impact on net interest income and net interest expense.
Measurement
• The portfolio manager with advance notice can start to realign the portfolio to make it less sensitive to steepening. This is why in many ALCO reports you will see a discussion about the current shape of the curve and any anticipated movements.
Strategies
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 14
Basis Risk
• This is the phenomenon that while two instruments appear to have similar pricing characteristics their repricing rates may not be perfectly correlated
• Net result is when the pricing of these instruments change there can be gaps and unexpected changes in the cash flows
Description
• Let’s assume a bank has a floating rate credit card that prices off of the Prime rate and has floating rate funding that is priced off of LIBOR. Both are floating rates however, both may not move in lock step.
Example
• Run shocks on the portfolio examining the 99th worst case spreads between these products to determine the impact on net income Measurement
• Price assets and liabilities using the same underlying characteristics • If that is not possible then explore derivatives to hedge away the basis
risk. Strategies

Optionality
• Risk occurring from the options embedded in the balance sheet. An option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy, sell or in some manner alter the initial cash flow of the instrument. This alteration of the cash flows can come at an inappropriate time for the bank and cause adverse changes to net interest income or economic value.
Description
• A bank may have explicit options such as exchange traded options • Banks can also have bond investments with call or put provisions which are
tied to changes in interest rates. • Mortgages have embedded options as if rates change in the borrowers favor
they will refinance the loan
Example
• The measurement of optionality requires running numerous what if scenarios to determine how the assets and liabilities will perform. This takes sophisticated Asset Liability Management modelling software that has term structure methodologies and simulation capabilities to model the outcomes.
Measurement
• After a bank better understands the optionality they can either change the terms of their products to eliminate or reduce the optionality
• In addition, banks can purchase derivative products to hedge the optionality Strategies

Prime Bank Rate and 1 Month LIBOR
1 MonthLIBOR
PRIMEBank Rate
Note how both are floating rates however they don’t always move in lock step. Thus the spread between the Prime Rate and LIBOR can expand and compress creating changes in net interest income.

Banks can measure interest rate risk using stress testing
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 18
After the shock they can determine the impact on net income
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 19
Banks will also examine the change in their equity value from changes in interest rates
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 20
IR terms
• A rise in rates increases net interest income.
• As rates rise, interest income from assets rises faster than liability interest expense.
• As rates fall, interest income falls faster than the reduction in interest expense.
Asset sensitivity
• A rise in rates decreases net interest income
• As rates rise, liability interest expense rises faster than interest income from assets.
• As rates fall, interest expense falls faster than the reduction in interest income.
Liability/ Deposit sensitive
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 21
Advanced IR terms
• the price sensitivity of a bond to changes in interest rates
Duration
• how fast the price of a bond changes in relation to small changes in interest rates
Convexity
Price
Yield
P*
Y*
Duration is the measure of price changes given small
changes in yield
Convexity is a measure of the amount of smile for
instance negative convexity would be a frown
Each asset or liability has a duration and
convexity. These define the price of the bond
given changes in yield. They are determined by the performance of the underlying cash flows .
For instance if rates move by a prescribed
amount a bond may be retired or “called away”
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 22
Banks try to minimize interest rate risk by changing product terms or hedging
Maturity of assets is much longer than liabilities
Run a 5 year term CD special
Maturity of assets is much shorter than liabilities
Run a special on a money market fund to bring in short duration liabilities
Fixed rate funding but variable rate
loans Hedge by buying a fixed
to floating rate swap
Floating rate funding but fixed
rate loans Hedge by buying a
floating to fixed rate swap

Previous Interest Rate Risk Disasters
Asset Backed Commercial Paper
• ABCP became a popular funding vehicle leading up to the banking crisis.
• ABCP were long term assets funded using short term commercial paper. When the financial markets seized in 2009 it was impossible to reissue the short term commercial paper and the asset funding dried up having to come back on banks balance sheets.
S&L Crisis
• A contributing factor of the S&L crisis was a mismatch in the duration of assets and liabilities that when rates moved exacerbated the impact of credit defaults
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 24
Refining the Management of Interest Rate Risk
Ensure that all sources of interest rate risk are accounted for • Repricing risk -- mismatching maturities of assets and liabilities • Yield curve risk -- exposure to yield curve twists • Basis risk -- pegging floating rate assets and liabilities to different
base rates • Optionality -- changes in prepayment/extension behavior as rates
move
Define the metrics of interest • Economic value of equity / duration of equity • Income sensitivity
Building the suite of appropriate reports • Maturity gap analysis • Duration reports • Yield curve twists • Stress tests and scenarios analysis
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 25
Example: Managing the key assumptions that drive interest rate risk
• Non-maturity deposits • Non-maturity loans (HELOC, card) • Freely pre-payable loans (residential mortgage) • Loans with lax prepayment penalty enforcement (CRE, C&I)
Assets and liabilities lacking definite maturity contribute to
interest rate risk
• How will balances change as rates move? • How should I fund card receivables? • How much leeway should I give loan officers to waive fees?
• How should I price mortgages? • How much value is my deposit franchise creating? • How much interest rate risk am I exposed to?
Assumptions about the effective maturity and sensitivity of
extension/pre-payment help answer important questions
about rate risk
• If commercial loan officers pledge to limit waivers, how should overage be handled?
• If the prepayment rate on mortgages exceeds plan, how should this “convexity” be charged?
The originators of rate risk should have clear accountability
for rate risk assumptions
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 26
Banks measure interest rate risk centrally but charge business lines individually • Because banks must look at loans and deposits holistically
when determining their interest rate risk position it is at times difficult to determine the IR implications of the next product.
• However, to examine profitability at a business unit or product level banks have come up with methods to price for the interest rate risk internally
• This is known as Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP) • FTP is basically the price at which the bank is willing to
borrow or lend funds internally

How FTP works
Deposits • Loans money to

the maturity of the deposit and type (fixed or floating rate)
Central Treasury
Loans •Borrows money from Central Treasury
•The cost of funds depends upon the maturity of the loan and type (fixed or floating rate)
A 3 year loan would have a cost of funds roughly equal
to 2%
Because the bank cannot borrow at the
current treasury rate the internal
cost of funds curve is at a
spread above treasuries

• What is the cost of funds of 5 year money? • What would happen if the borrower decided to prepay the
loan in year 2? • Is there a real cost? If so who should pay for it?
Banks should charge lines breakage fees
• The cost to the bank is real • That is why it is important not
to waive prepayment fees
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 29
Mortgage Servicing Rights
• Servicers receive fees for processing the loan receipts each month. This service has value to the bank. MSR
• If there is a flurry of refinance activity due to lower rates and the loans are pulled away from the servicer their income will be diminished. Hence in falling rate environments current servicing rights are worth less
• The converse is true as rates rise the value of existing serviced loans increases as the prepayment rates will be lower and the income stream more dependable
Value depends
upon interest rates
It’s not just loans but other instruments may be impacted by changes in interest rates

Questions for Bank Management Are you targeting a particular level of NII (net interest income) sensitivity? Are you targeting a particular level of EVE (economic value of equity) sensitivity? What kinds of interest rate scenarios are you using? How was your last interest rate risk regulatory exam? Do you have an interest rate risk policy? How do you manage your IRR assumptions for assets and liabilities? With what frequency do you run IRR models? Is the modeling done internally or through a third-party vendor? Are you satisfied with the output and recommendations from your asset/liability management software? Do they have an ability to test planned future assets and liabilities or are they restricted to the “run-off” portfolio? Is the Board getting the right interest rate risk information? Do you have the right tools to understand the interest rate risk performance of your current and future portfolio?

Liquidity Risk
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 32
What is liquidity?
The state of having cash or cash like investments on hand that could be quickly sold in the market with little reduction in price to meet near term payments or withdrawals
Liquid investments • Cash • Deposits in a bank • CD’s • Treasury bills or bonds • Corporate Bonds or paper
that are heavily traded • Highly liquid stocks
Illiquid Investments • Real Estate • Thinly traded Stocks • Thinly traded Bonds • Preferred stock • Physical Assets • Collectables
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 33
What are other sources of personal liquidity?
Credit cards
Home Equity Lines of Credit
Unsecured Loans – pay day lender
Pawn Shops
Parents, Rich Uncle, Relatives, Friends

A liquidity crisis happens when short term cash out flows exceed available cash and liquid securities on hand
Systemic event • Economic shock • Total market disruption such as default of
Lehman, Bear Stearns, and AIG • Disasters such as Y2K, 9/11, or avian or wide
spread flu could cause liquidity events
Bank Specific • Fraud or bad press can cause a lack of
confidence in depositors and a run • Loss of a major depositor • Draws on lines of credit • Being shut out of whole sale markets • Sometimes snowstorms or mail disruptions
can cause liquidity events
In each instance events cause extreme outflows of cash
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 36
Just like a recession, when you examine a liquidity crisis the question is how deep and how long
Depth
• Is the event isolated to one type of funding or all types?
• The degree to which asset prices have declined? Is it possible to sell at any price?
• Are additional credit lines available to obtain cash?
• Can assets be pledged to gain additional short term funding?
Length
• Is this a one day, one week, or protracted event?
• How long before asset prices return to normal levels?
• What levers are available to be pulled on a daily, weekly, or longer basis to avert the crisis?
• Can I quickly head off a reputational event with an effective response plan?

Firm specific liquidity crises
Enron •What finally killed Enron was a lack of liquidity that exposed the fraud
Long Term Capital Management •LTCM did not have enough liquidity to ride out a turn in the market when their uncorrelated positions moved in the same direction because of a lack of liquidity in the market
WAMU •A lack of confidence led to a slow walk of deposits out of the bank
Indy Mac •The Schumer letter and leaking the letter to the press started a run on the bank due to lack of confidence
All of these had problems but their ultimate demise was due to a liquidity crisis
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 38
Recent Systemic Liquidity Crises
The Liquidity Crisis of 2009
• A fear of counterparty credit risk after Lehman and Bear failed locked the liquidity markets. At the same time AIG a AAA rated company was insolvent
• On this fear commercial borrowers started to tap their lines of credit with the banks to ensure their liquidity
• The resulting deleveraging that took place completely locked the markets forcing the Fed to pump in liquidity through programs like TARP and TALF as well as making it acceptable for banks to borrow from the discount window
• ABCP and other securitization funding vehicles dried up during the crisis as investors became fearful of counterparty credit risk
• In some instances depositors took cash out of banks and bought gold
The Perfect Storm
•Without injections from TALF and TARP things may have gotten worse
•Central banks across the world began injecting massive amounts of liquidity to mitigate the crisis
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 39
A liquidity crisis is a downward spiral unless the government or investors step in to break the chain
Nervous customers draw increasing amounts of cash
Banks sell liquid assets in the market
to generate additional cash reserves
All of the banks dumping assets at the same time lowers asset prices and instills fear in the market
Asset sales combined with lower asset prices lowers
the value of the banks equity
Market concerns cause corporations to draw their credit lines
lowering the cash available and requiring
additional equity
If equity ratios fall below preset
covenants banks trading partners will not trade or provide lines of credit e.g.
additional cash
At the same time customers become increasingly worried about lower levels of
bank equity

Principles for the Management of Liquidity Risk
• Establish and articulate a firm-wide liquidity risk tolerance Governance
• Be sure to capture off-balance sheet exposures, securitization activities, and other contingent liquidity risks Measurement
• Incentives of individual business units should be aligned with the liquidity risk exposures their activities create for the bank , remember that the undrawn portions of a Line of Credit take up balance sheet and are usually drawn at the worst time
Alignment
• Develop tests that cover a variety of institution-specific and market-wide scenarios, with a link to the development of effective contingency funding plans Stress test
• Strong management of intraday liquidity risks and collateral positions Management
• Keep a robust cushion of unencumbered, high quality liquid assets to be in a position to survive protracted periods of liquidity stress Maintenance

Evaluating Liquidity
Need to evaluate* • Volatility of deposits • Reliance on interest-sensitive funds and frequency and level of borrowings • Unused borrowing capacity • The capability of management to properly identify, measure, monitor, and control the
institution's liquidity position, including the effectiveness of funds management strategies, liquidity policies, management information systems, and contingency funding plans
• Level of diversification of funding sources • Ability to securitize assets • Availability of assets readily convertible into cash • Ability to pledge assets • Impact of holding company and affiliates • Access to money markets • The institution's earnings performance • The institution's capital position • The nature, volume, and anticipated usage of the institution's credit commitments

Evaluating liquidity: liquid relative to what?
Asset liquidity • Examine
composition of bank’s assets
• Evaluate true liquidity of nominal liquid and quasi-liquid assets
ALM: Assess maturity or repricing
schedule for assets and liabilities
Funding composition • Analyze structure
of a bank’s sources of funds: • Core deposits • Purchased, or
“hot” funds
Liquidity management: • Evaluate
management’s “contingency planning”
• What is a “liquid” asset? • How liquid are ostensibly liquid assets? Limitations
Principal approaches to liquidity evaluation
Copyright © 2016 S&P Global. The Knowledge Center, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. 43
FDIC Guidance on Liquidity • “The FDIC limits the use of brokered deposits by insured institutions that
are less than well capitalized, and also limits the effective yield that these institutions may offer on all their deposits. These limits are set forth in Part 337.6 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations and should be incorporated in contingency funding plans.”
• • “Contingency funding plans should outline practical and realistic funding
alternatives that can be implemented as access to funding is reduced, including diversification of funding and capital raising initiatives.”
• • “Institutions that use volatile, credit sensitive, or concentrated funding
sources are generally expected to hold capital above regulatory minimum levels to compensate for the elevated levels of liquidity risk present in their operations.” Consider these when evaluating a banks liquidity. Think about the
relationship between liquidity and capital. Ask management direct questions.

Liquidity Ratios
• Measure of non-core deposits
Ratio Formula Purpose
Net Non-core Funding Dependence
Non-core liabilities less short term investments divided by
long term assets. Reflects the bank's
dependency on non-core deposits
Brokered Deposits / Deposits
Deposits acquired from brokers and dealers for the
account of others divided by total deposits.

Liquidity Ratios • Measure of immediate liquidity
Ratio Formula Purpose
Short Term Assets / Short Term Liabilities
Short term assets divided by short term liabilities.
Measures the extent the bank can quickly liquidate assets
(without any price discount) and cover short term liabilities.
Net Short Term Liabilities / Assets
Short term liabilities less short term assets divided by total
assets.
Liquidity Ratio
Liquid Assets (Cash & Bal Due Dep Inst + Securities + Fed Fund & Repos - Trading
Accounts -Pledged Secs)/ Total Liabilities

Liquidity Ratios Ratio Formula Purpose
Gross Loans / Total Deposits
Loans held for investment, before reserves, as a percent
of total insured deposits
Gives a rough picture of the relative balance of loans and
deposits.
Net Loans/ Total Deposits
Net loans, plus lease-financing receivables, divided by total
deposits.
Loans/Deposits
Total Loans & Leases (Net of Unearned Income & Gross of
Reserve)/ Total Deposits (Includes Domestic and
Foreign Deposits)

Liquidity Ratios • Some of the other common ratios that examiners use are:
Ratio Formula Purpose
Net Short-Term Non-Core Funding Dependence
Time deposits greater than $250,000, brokered deposits of less than or equal to $250,000, time deposits in foreign
offices, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and other borrowed money
with a remaining maturity of one year or less, and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased divided by total assets*
Reflects the bank's dependency on non-core, short-term deposits
Net Loans and Leases to Total Assets
Net loans, plus lease-financing receivables, divided by total assets.
% of assets that are loans
Pledged Securities to Total Securities
The amortized cost of all held-to-maturity securities and the fair value of all available-for-sale securities that are pledged to secure deposits, repurchase
transactions, or other borrowings, as performance bonds under futures or forward contracts, or for any other
purpose as a percent of total securities
Pledged securities are “encumbered”, i.e. the bank has promised to hold them as collateral against liabilities , so can’t be sold in time of liquidity needs
Core Deposits to Total Assets
Deposits in domestic offices excluding time deposits over $250,000 and
brokered deposits of $250,000 or less divided by total assets
Shows how much of the bank’s assets are being funded by core deposits
