1. Part 7 The Management of Financial Institutions

2. Chapter 23 Risk Management in Financial Institutions

3. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-2 Chapter Preview Managing financial institutions is not easy. Uncertainty in the economic environment has increased, making the job of the financial institution manager that much harder. In this chapter, we examine how financial institutions manage credit risk, default risk, etc.

4. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-3 Chapter Preview Topics include: ─ Managing Credit Risk ─ Managing Interest-Rate Risk

5. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-4 Managing Credit Risk The business of financial institutions is making loans. The risk with loans is the borrower will not repay. Credit risk is the risk that a borrower will not repay a loan according to the terms of the loan, either defaulting entirely or making late payments of interest or principal.

6. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-5 Managing Credit Risk Once again, the concepts of adverse selection and moral hazard will provide our framework to understand the principles financial managers must follow.

7. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-6 Managing Credit Risk Adverse selection: Those with the highest credit risk have the biggest incentives to borrow from others. Moral hazard: Once a borrower has a loan, she has an incentive to engage in risky projects to produce the highest payoffs.

8. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-7 Managing Credit Risk Solving Asymmetric Information Problems: financial managers have a number of tools available to assist in reducing or eliminating the asymmetric information problem

9. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-8 Managing Risk 1.Screening and Monitoring  Collecting reliable information about prospective borrowers. This has also lead some institutions to specialize in regions or industries, gaining expertise in evaluating particular firms or individuals.

10. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-9 Managing Risk 2.Screening and Monitoring ─ Also involves requiring certain actions, or prohibiting others, and then periodically verifying that the borrower is complying with the terms of the loan contact.

11. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-10 Managing Credit Risk Specialization in Lending helps in screening. It is easier to collect data on local firms and firms in specific industries. It allows them to better predict problems by having better industry and location knowledge.

12. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-11 Managing Credit Risk Monitoring and Enforcement also helps. Financial institutions write protective covenants into loans contracts and actively manage them to ensure that borrowers are not taking risks at their expense.

13. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-12 Managing Credit Risk Long-term Customer Relationships: past information contained in checking accounts, savings accounts, and previous loans provides valuable information to more easily determine credit worthiness.

14. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-13 Managing Credit Risk 3.Loan Commitments: arrangements where the bank agrees to provide a loan up to a fixed amount, whenever the firm requests the loan. 4.Collateral: a pledge of property or other assets that must be surrendered if the terms of the loan are not met ( the loans are called secured loans).

15. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-14 Managing Credit Risk 5.Compensating Balances: reserves that a borrower must maintain in an account that act as collateral should the borrower default. 6.Credit Rationing: (1) lenders will refuse to lend to some borrowers, regardless of how much interest they are willing to pay, or (2) lenders will only finance part of a project, requiring that the remaining part come from equity financing.

16. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-15 Managing Interest-Rate Risk Financial institutions, banks in particular, specialize in earning a higher rate of return on their assets relative to the interest paid on their liabilities. As interest rate volatility increased in the last 20 years, interest-rate risk exposure has become a concern for financial institutions.

17. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-16 Managing Interest-Rate Risk To see how financial institutions can measure and manage interest-rate risk exposure, we will examine the balance sheet for First National Bank (next slide). We will develop two tools, (1) Income Gap Analysis and (2) Duration Gap Analysis, to assist the financial manager in this effort.

19. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-18 Income Gap Analysis Income Gap Analysis: measures the sensitivity of a bank’s current year net income to changes in interest rate. Requires determining which assets and liabilities will have their interest rate change as market interest rates change. Let’s see how that works for First National Bank.

20. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-19 Income Gap Analysis: Determining Rate Sensitive Items for First National Bank Assets –assets with maturity less than one year –variable-rate mortgages –short-term commercial loans –portion of fixed-rate mortgages (say 20%) Liabilities –money market deposits –variable-rate CDs –short-term CDs –federal funds –short-term borrowings –portion of checkable deposits (10%) –portion of savings (20%)

A longer-term focus uses duration gap analysis.

23. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-22 Duration Gap Analysis Owners and managers care about: interest rate exposure on income, and the impact of interest rate changes on the balance sheet / net worth. The concept of duration, which first appeared in chapter 3, plays a role here.

24. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-23 Duration Gap Analysis Duration Gap Analysis: measures the sensitivity of a bank’s current year net income to changes in interest rate. Requires determining the duration for assets and liabilities, items whose market value will change as interest rates change. Let’s see how this looks for First National Bank.

26. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-25 Duration of First National Bank’s Assets and Liabilities (b) Table 23.1 Duration of the First National Bank’s Assets and Liabilities

27. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-26 Duration Gap Analysis The basic equation for determining the change in market value for assets or liabilities is: or

28. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-27 Duration Gap Analysis Consider a change in rates from 10% to 11%. Using the value from Table 23.1, we see: Assets:

30. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-29 Duration Gap Analysis For a rate change from 10% to 11%, the net worth of First National Bank will fall, changing by $1.6m. Recall from the balance sheet that First National Bank has “Bank capital” totaling $5m. Following such a dramatic change in rate, the capital would fall to $3.4m.

33. Copyright ©2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.23-32 Duration Gap Analysis The same analysis can be applied to other financial institutions. For example, let’s look at a simple finance company which makes consumer loans. The balance sheet and duration worksheet for Friendly Finance Co. follows.

All rights reserved.23-39 Managing Interest-Rate Risk Strategies for Managing Interest-Rate Risk ─ In example above, shorten duration of bank assets or lengthen duration of bank liabilities ─ To completely immunize net worth from interest- rate risk, set DUR gap = 0

Managing Interest-Rate Risk: the essential techniques of measuring interest-rate risk for both income and capital affects were presented.
