Chapter 14 1
Chapter 14. Net Noninterest Income, Operational Risk, Securitization, and Derivatives
Activities Learning Objectives:
To understand a bank's net noninterest income ("burden") and operational risk
To understand the process of securitization and its net benefits
To understand banks' derivatives activities and domination by the five largest U.S. banks
Chapter 14 2
Chapter Theme Although securitization and
derivatives activities capture two important aspects of modern banking, banks have been doing traditional off-balance sheet activities (OBSAs) such as loan commitments and lines of credit for centuries.
Chapter 14 3
Theme (continued) Banks face pressure, especially the
largest ones, to generate fee or noninterest income, to reduce noninterest or operating expenses, and to improve capital adequacy. In the context of the return-on-equity model, the competitive and regulatory pressures on both ROA and EM reflect, in part, these forces of change.
Chapter 14 4
Theme (continued) These pressures get bankers' attention
because they affect two pillars of bank performance: profitability (ROA) and capital adequacy (EM). On balance, OBSAs (including the selling of risk-management services) present banks with opportunities to strengthen customer relationships and to reduce the probability of financial distress for client firms, thereby reducing the bank's risk exposure to these customers.
Chapter 14 5
Theme (concluded) While net interest income and net interest
margin (NIM) capture the intermediation aspect of a bank's business, net noninterest income ("burden") reflects the nonintermediation and operational aspects of a bank's business. Operational risk refers to the risk of loss that banks and other financial institutions face from catastrophic events, human error, and other unpredictable happenings, e.g., the collapse of Barings, a UK investment bank.
Chapter 14 6
Motives for OBSAs Think of the ROE model
ROE = ROA x EM All other things being equal (ceteris
paribus), OBSAs can increase ROA without adding leverage to the balance sheet
Effective risk-based capital requirements, however, price the risk of OBSAs and restrict opportunities for regulatory capital arbitrage
Chapter 14 7
Net Noninterest Income (“Burden”) Net noninterest income is the
difference between noninterest income and noninterest income
For almost all banks, this measure is less than zero – hence, it is a bank’s “burden”
Fee income and operating efficiency are the focal variables
Chapter 14 8
Net Noninterest Income by Bank Size (1999) Size class % of assets Change* Top ten -0.90 38 11-100 -0.78 88 101-1,000 -1.39 62 All others -2.28 20 All banks -1.11 72 *Change since 1990 in basis points
Chapter 14 9
The Components of Noninterest (Fee) Income Services charges on deposits Income from trust activities Trading income
The 100 largest banks, especially the 10 largest, dominate this business activity
Other (noninterest) income
Chapter 14 10
Insights from the Second Stage of the ROE Model ROA = PM x AU Data for all banks:
1985: ROA = 0.0640 x 0.1084 = 0.0069 1999: ROA = 0.1556 x 0.0942 = 0.0131
ROA almost doubled over this period. Why? How?
PM surged while AU dropped slightly
Chapter 14 11
Further Insights The components of PM and AU are
three: Profits or net income “Sales” (interest income +
noninterest income) Assets
Think of the growth rates for these three variables
Chapter 14 12
Further Insights (continued) For PM to increase, the growth of NI
> the growth rate of sales For AU to decline, the growth of
sales < the growth of assets On balance, g(NI) > g(A) > g(sales) After improvement in loan quality,
the rapid growth o NI traces to noninterest income (see Table 14-1, p. 471)
Chapter 14 13
Operating Efficiency and Noninterest Expense The components of noninterest
expense: Salaries, wages, and employee benefits Expense of premises and fixed assets Other noninterest expense
Data for 1999 (% of assets), respectively, are: 1.59, 0.48, and 1.70 (3.77 total up from 3.49 for 1990)
Chapter 14 14
Noninterest Expense by Bank Size (1999) Size class % of assets Top ten 3.45 11-100 4.15 101-1,000 3.70 All others 3.71 All banks 3.77
Chapter 14 15
Operational Risk Management: The Next Frontier (Box 14-1) It is the uncertainty associated with direct
or indirect losses from inadequate or failed internal systems, processes, or people or from external events (e.g., 11 Sept. 2001)
It has become a discipline unto itself with its own management structure, processes, and tools
The Basel Committee plans to include a capital charge of operational risk for large international banks
Chapter 14 16
Why Focus on Operational Risk? Concern about losses due to ineffective
operations Regulators concerns about operational
risk Increased operational risk associated
with globalization Growing attention on enterprise-wide risk
management (holistic approach) Threat of terrorism
Chapter 14 17
September 11, 2001 and Catastrophic Risk The banks and securities firms
affected by this dastardly act had secondary and tertiary backup systems
Although backing up personnel can’t be done on a large scale, geographic diversification would reduce concentration risk
Chapter 14 18
Risk Removal Techniques: Securitization and Loan Participations
Loan participations The traditional method achieved by using
loan syndications Credit of $50 million or more are regarded
as syndicated loans Large syndications have 100 or more banks
participating (see Box 14-2 on page 477 for the major players)
Almost $2 trillion in syndicated loans at year-end 2000
Chapter 14 19
The Modern Approach: Securitization John Reed said: “Securitization is the
substitution of more efficient public capital markets for less efficient, higher cost financial intermediaries in the funding of debt instruments.”
Good news: Several benefits (next slide) Bad news: Threatens existence of
traditional intermediaries
Chapter 14 20
The Benefits of Securitization Increased liquidity from the ability
to sell assets Enhanced revenue/profits from
asset sales Increased servicing income Conservation of capital
Chapter 14 21
Understanding the Process of Securitization Five basic parties:
1. Loan originator (bank) 2. Loan purchaser (affiliated trust) 3. Loan packager (underwriter of the
securities) 4. Credit enhancer (guarantor) 5. Investors (individuals and banks)
Table 14-2 and Figure 14-1 (pp. 479-480) summarize the process in terms of the structure of deals and cash flows
Chapter 14 22
Terminology Asset-backed securities
The underlying loans represent the cash flows that stand behind and give value to asset-backed securities
Mortgage-backed securities – securitization began with these instruments and spread such that the modern banker’s calling card reads: “Have Loans, Will Securitize” (see Table 14-3, p. 481)
Chapter 14 23
Terminology (continued) Pass-through securities are not
collateralized or secured by “hard assets” but are backed by unsecured credits such as credit-card receivables (Some confusion exists here because the cash flows “pass through” whether the underlying asset is “hard” or “soft”)
Chapter 14 24
Terminology (continued) Collateralized debt obligations
(CDOs) Two main sources of underlying assets
or collateral are: loans (CLOs) and bonds (CBOs)
A CDO has a legal structure called a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) set up as a subsidiary of a holding company – view it as a balance sheet
Chapter 14 25
Terminology (continued) Collateralized-loan obligations (CLOs)
In a traditional CLO, the originating bank physically transfers the loan portfolio to the SPV, which issues the securities backed by the underlying loans
In a synthetic CLO, the assets are not physically transferred and a credit derivative (see Chapter 11) transfer the credit risk of the collateral to the SPV
Chapter 14 26
Terminology (continued) Three kinds of synthetic CLOs exist:
1. Fully funded in which all the credit risk transfers to the SPV
2. Partially funded in which part of the credit risk is transferred to the SPV
3. Unfunded in which none of the credit risk transfers to the SPV – the transfer is achieved with a credit derivative
Chapter 14 27
Securitization: A Two-Way Street It’s a risk-removal technique Use it to add assets and risk to an
existing balance sheet
Chapter 14 28
Value-Added Through Securitization (Table 14-3) Underlying asset Securitized Asset Illiquid Liquid Weak valuation Market values Lender monitoring Third party
monitors Higher oper exp Lower oper exp Product limits Wider offerings Limited market Broader market
Chapter 14 29
Derivatives: Hedging, Speculating, Selling Risk-Management Services Two basic kinds of derivatives:
1. Futures and forwards (linear contracts) 2. Options (nonlinear contracts)
Value based on or “derived” from the underlying which can be an interest rate, exchange rate, equity return, or a commodity price
Trading: Exchange versus OTC As a hedging tool, see Box 14-3 (p. 487)
Chapter 14 30
Derivative Securities Three classes:
1. Structured securities and deposits (e.g., duel-currency bonds)
2. Stripped securities (e.g., IOs and POs) 3. Securities with option characteristics
(e.g., callable bonds) See Table 14-5 (p. 485) for additional
examples of derivative securities)
Chapter 14 31
Discussions Topics Bankers Trust and Derivatives
Liability Who dominates the world of
derivatives and why? Are derivatives the basic business of
banking? Have derivatives fundamentally
changed financial management? A framework for risk management
Chapter 14 32
The Risk of Derivatives Activities IS MORC ILL? (see Table 14-6, p.
491) These nine risks can be condensed
into four broad risk categories 1. Market risk 2. Credit risk 3. Liquidity risk 4. Operational and legal risk
Chapter 14 33
Measuring Risk Exposure Notional value is not a good measure Credit-equivalent exposure is the
sum of 1. Bilaterally netted current credit
exposure 2. Future exposure
Glossary (Box 14-4, p, 493) Data (Table 14-7, 14-8, 14-9, pp.
494-497)
Chapter 14 34
Transparency and Disclosure Bank loans and OTC derivatives
share three common characteristics: 1. Customized 2. Privately negotiated 3. Often lack liquidity and transparency
Result: They are more difficult to value and manage
Chapter 14 35
The Regulatory Dialectic (Struggle Model) Thesis: Derivatives and
securitization Antithesis: Risk-based capital
requirements for these activities Synthesis: Regulatory capital
arbitrage seeks ways to circumvent requirements
Chapter 14 36
Chapter Summary Asset securitization and
derivatives activities capture two of the traits of modern banking
Although the world of derivatives is dominated by large banks, securitization has a much broader appeal
