- 3. Preview • This chapter examines how banks attempt to maximize their profits. • Although the discussion that follows focuses primarily on commercial banks, many of the same principles apply to other financial intermediaries as well.
- 4. Learning Objectives • Summarize the features of a bank balance sheet. • Apply changes to a bank’s assets and liabilities on a T-account. • Identify ways in which banks can manage their assets and liabilities to maximize profit.
- 5. Learning Objectives • List the ways in which banks deal with credit risk. • Apply gap and duration analysis and identify interest-rate risk. • Examine off-balance sheet activities.
- 6. The Bank Balance Sheet • Liabilities: – Checkable deposits – Nontransaction deposits – Borrowings – Bank capital
- 7. The Bank Balance Sheet • Assets: – Reserves – Cash items in process of collection – Deposits at other banks – Securities – Loans – Other assets
- 8. Balance Sheet of All Commercial Banks (Items as a Percentage of the Total, August 2019 • See here… – https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h8/curr ent/default.htm
- 9. Basic Banking • Cash Deposit: First National Bank First National Bank Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Vault cash +$100 Checkable deposits +$100 Reserves +$100 Checkable deposits +$100 • Opening of a checking account leads to an increase in the bank’s reserves equal to the increase in checkable deposits.
- 10. Basic Banking First National Bank Assets Liabilities Cash items in process of collection +$100 Checkable deposits +$100 Check Deposit: When a bank receives additional deposits, it gains an equal amount of reserves; when it loses deposits, it loses an equal amount of reserves. First National Bank Assets Liabilities Reserves +$100 Checkable deposits +$100 Second National Bank Assets Liabilities Reserves −$100 Checkable deposits −$100
- 11. Basic Banking • Making a profit: First National Bank Assets Liabilities Required reserves +$10 Checkable deposits +$100 Excess reserves +$90 First National Bank Assets Liabilities Required reserves +$10 Checkable deposits +$100 Loans +$90 • Asset transformation: selling liabilities with one set of characteristics and using the proceeds to buy assets with a different set of characteristics • The bank borrows short and lends long
- 12. General Principles of Bank Management • Liquidity Management • Asset Management • Liability Management • Capital Adequacy Management • Credit Risk • Interest-rate Risk
- 13. Liquidity Management and the Role of Reserves • Excess reserves: Assets Liabilities Reserves $20M Deposits $100M Loans $80M Bank Capital $10M Securities $10M Assets Liabilities Reserves $10M Deposits $90M Loans $80M Bank Capital $10M Securities $10M – Suppose a bank’s required reserves are 10%. – If a bank has ample excess reserves, a deposit outflow does not necessitate changes in other parts of its balance sheet.
- 14. Liquidity Management and the Role of Reserves • Shortfall: Assets Liabilities Reserves $10M Deposits $100M Loans $90M Bank Capital $10M Securities $10M Assets Liabilities Reserves $0 Deposits $90M Loans $90M Bank Capital $10M Securities $10M – Reserves are a legal requirement and the shortfall must be eliminated. – Excess reserves are insurance against the costs associated with deposit outflows.
- 15. Liquidity Management and the Role of Reserves • Borrowing: Assets Liabilities Reserves $9M Deposits $90M Loans $90M Borrowing $9M Securities $10M Bank Capital $10M – Cost incurred is the interest rate paid on the borrowed funds
- 16. Liquidity Management and the Role of Reserves • Securities sale: Assets Liabilities Reserves $9M Deposits $90M Loans $90M Bank Capital $10M Securities $1M – The cost of selling securities is the brokerage and other transaction costs.
- 17. Liquidity Management and the Role of Reserves • Federal Reserve: Assets Liabilities Reserves $9M Deposits $90M Loans $90M Borrow from Fed $9M Securities $10M Bank capital $10M – Borrowing from the Fed also incurs interest payments based on the discount rate.
- 18. Liquidity Management and the Role of Reserves • Reduce loans: Assets Liabilities Reserves $9M Deposits $90M Loans $81M Bank Capital $10M Securities $10M – Reduction of loans is the most costly way of acquiring reserves. – Calling in loans antagonizes customers. – Other banks may only agree to purchase loans at a substantial discount.
- 19. Asset Management Three goals: 1. Seek the highest possible returns on loans and securities. 2. Reduce risk. 3. Have adequate liquidity.
- 20. Asset Management Four Tools: 1. Find borrowers who will pay high interest rates and have low possibility of defaulting. 2. Purchase securities with high returns and low risk. 3. Lower risk by diversifying. 4. Balance need for liquidity against increased returns from less liquid assets.
- 21. Liability Management • Recent phenomenon due to rise of money center banks • Expansion of overnight loan markets and new financial instruments (such as negotiable CDs) • Checkable deposits have decreased in importance as source of bank funds.
- 22. Capital Adequacy Management • Bank capital helps prevent bank failure. • The amount of capital affects return for the owners (equity holders) of the bank. • Regulatory requirement
- 23. Capital Adequacy Management How Bank Capital Helps Prevent Bank Failure: High Capital Bank Low Capital Bank Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Reserves $10 million Deposits $90 million Reserves $10 million Deposits $96 million Loans $90 million Bank capital $10 million Loans $90 million Bank capital $ 4 million High Capital Bank Low Capital Bank Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Reserves $10 million Deposits $90 million Reserves $10 million Deposits $96 million Loans $85 million Bank capital $ 5 million Loans $85 million Bank capital −$ 1 million
- 24. Capital Adequacy Management How the Amount of Bank Capital Affects Returns to Equity Holders: Return on Assets: net profit after taxes per dollar of assets ROA = net profit after taxes assets Return on Equity: net profit after taxes per dollar of equity capital ROE = net profit after taxes equity capital Relationship between ROA and ROE is expressed by the Equity Multiplier: the amount of assets per dollar of equity capital EM = Assets Equity Capital net profit after taxes equity capital net profit after taxes assets assets equity capital ROE = ROA EM
- 25. Capital Adequacy Management • Trade-off between safety and returns to equity holders: – Benefits the owners of a bank by making their investment safe – Costly to owners of a bank because the higher the bank capital, the lower the return on equity – Choice depends on the state of the economy and levels of confidence
- 26. Application: Strategies for Managing Bank Capital • As the manager of the First National Bank, you have to make decisions about the appropriate amount of bank capital to hold in your bank. • Our discussion of the strategies for managing bank capital leads to the following conclusion, which deserves particular emphasis: a shortfall of bank capital is likely to lead a bank to reduce its assets and therefore is likely to cause a contraction in lending.
- 27. Application: How a Capital Crunch Caused a Credit Crunch During the Global Financial Crisis • Shortfalls of bank capital led to slower credit growth: – Huge losses for banks from their holdings of securities backed by residential mortgages. – Losses reduced bank capital • Banks could not raise much capital on a weak economy and had to tighten their lending standards and reduce lending.
- 28. Managing Credit Risk • Screening and Monitoring: – Screening – Specialization in lending – Monitoring and enforcement of restrictive covenants
- 29. Managing Credit Risk • Long-term customer relationships • Loan commitments • Collateral and compensating balances • Credit rationing
- 30. Managing Interest-Rate Risk First National Bank Assets Liabilities Rate-sensitive assets $20 million Rate-sensitive liabilities $50 million Variable-rate and short-term loans Variable-rate CDs Short-term securities Money market deposit accounts Fixed-rate assets $80 million Fixed-rate liabilities $50 million Reserves Checkable deposits Long-term loans Savings deposits Long-term securities Long-term CDs Equity capital
- 31. Gap and Duration Analysis • Basic gap analysis: (rate sensitive assets – rate sensitive liabilities) × Δ interest rates = Δ in bank profit • Maturity bucked approach: – Measures the gap for several maturity subintervals • Standardized gap analysis: – Accounts for different degrees of rate sensitivity
- 32. Gap and Duration Analysis % Δ in market value of security H− percentage point Δ in interest rate × duration in years. • Uses the weighted average duration of a financial institution’s assets and of its liabilities to see how net worth responds to a change in interest rates.
- 33. Off-Balance-Sheet Activities • Loan sales (secondary loan participation) • Generation of fee income. Examples: – Servicing mortgage-backed securities – Creating SIVs (structured investment vehicles), which can potentially expose banks to risk, as it happened in the global financial crisis
- 34. Off-Balance-Sheet Activities • Trading activities and risk management techniques: – Financial futures, options for debt instruments, interest rate swaps, transactions in the foreign exchange market, and speculation – Principal-agent problem arises
- 35. Off-Balance-Sheet Activities • Internal controls to reduce the principal-agent problem: – Separation of trading activities and bookkeeping – Limits on exposure – Value-at-risk – Stress testing
- 36. Rogue Traders and the Principal–Agent Problem • The demise of Barings, a venerable British bank more than a century old, is a sad morality tale of how the principal–agent problem operating through a rogue trader can take a financial institution that has a healthy balance sheet one month and turn it into an insolvent tragedy the next.
