The changes have increased the need for
managing risks in the financial marketplace.
This includes both measuring risk and
developing products designed to eliminate
risk.

After the introduction we will cover:
Securitization:
How the process of securitization should decrease
credit risk for individual institutions. However did is
also change systematic risk?
Value at Risk
measuring risk in the market place
Derivatives
How options and other derivative products are used to
decrease risks faced by institutions.
Background
UNIVERSITE

Drake
Drake University
Financial Institutions (FI) – Channel funds
from individuals and institutions with a
surplus of funds to (suppliers) to those with a
shortage or funds (users of capital).
Depository Institutions Banks, Savings and
Loans, Credit Unions
Non Depository Institutions Insurance
Companies, Mutual Funds, Pension Funds
Total assets 2000 in US = $14.75 trillion
Similar Risks and Rewards
UNIVERSITE

All Financial Institutions:
Hold Assets that are subject to default (or
credit) risk
Are exposed to interest rate risk
Change in value of assets
Matching maturity assets and liabilities
Exposed to liquidity (withdraw) risks
Face operational costs and risks

Drake University
Commercial Bank: Accept Deposits (short
term) and use the cash to make loans to
other participants (both households and
businesses – Long Term)
Mutual Fund Firm: Pooling Funds of
individuals and uses them to buy a portfolio
of securities
The Roles of Financial
Intermediation
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Maturity and Denomination Intermediation
The intermediary can produce assets of varying
maturities. It transforms demand deposits
into long term commercial loans for example.
Similarly the intermediaries can produce a wide
variety of denominations in the new assets via
pooling and separating of funds
The Roles of Intermediation
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Diversification
The firm is able to change the risk characteristics
of the claims.
For example a mutual fund which takes a
relatively small sum of money form an individual
investor but invests in a portfolio of assets.
(Decreases Credit Risk).
The size of the firm allows it to be more cost
effective at producing this risk reduction . An
individual doing this alone, faces high costs.
(there is an economy of scale in the intermediaries
operations)
The Roles of Intermediation
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Information Cost Reduction
Specialization allows the intermediary to focus on
investment analysis. This is a costly process for the
individual. It also allows a reduction in loan
contracting costs.
Providing a payment mechanism
The firms provide a means of noncash payment
(checks, debit card etc…). The intermediaries also
provide many claims that are highly liquid, allowing
individuals to invest in less liquid assets indirectly.

Brokerage Function
Research and information provider (reduces information
costs such as agency costs)
Economies of Scale (decreases transaction costs and
information costs)
Asset – Transformation Function
Purchase primary claims and issue secondary claims
backed by the primary claims (reducing contracting
costs)
Allows for risk sharing via diversification (reduces price
and liquidity risk)

Transmission of Monetary Policy
The liquid nature of depository institutions make them
the main way monetary policy is transmitted to the
public
Credit Allocation
Primary suppliers of capital to special sectors of the
economy (Residential lending for example)
Intergenerational Transfer of Wealth
Insurance and pension funds allow transfer across
generations

Impact on US Market
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Increased merger and acquisition activity in
financial services industry.
Demutualization of insurance firms and
savings and loans
Asset Securitization
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Securitization is the pooling and repackaging
of loans so they have the characteristics of
security instruments which enable them to be
more easily resold.
Creates both Maturity Intermediation and
Denomination Intermediation while spreading
credit risk
Should broaden the market and decrease risk
Use of Securitization in the
Mortgage Market
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
The market that has been impacted the most
by increased securitization is the secondary
market for mortgages.
The largest participants in this market are
government sponsored enterprises (GSE).
Government Sponsored
Enterprises
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Privately owned, government sponsored
entities.
Created to lower the cost of capital for a
specific sector
Generally issue two types of notes and debt
Special Treatment of GSE’s
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Debt and mortgage backed securities are exempt
from SEC registration
Agencies are exempt from state and local taxes
Treasury can purchase up to $2.2 B of FNMA and
$4B of FHLB debt via line of credit
Banks can make unlimited investment in debt
issued by GSE’s
GSE securities are eligible as collateral for public
deposits and for loans from the Federal Reserve
GSE’s and Mission
UNIVERSITE

Drake University
Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie
Mae) & Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Association (Freddie Mac) promote secondary
market for mortgages
Government National Mortgage Association
(Ginnie Mae) – promote secondary market for
government sponsored mortgages
Federal Home Loan Bank – Liquidity in
banking system
GSE’s and Mission
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie
Mae) – promote a secondary market for
student loans
Federal Farm Credit Bank – promote a
secondary market for lending in agricultural
industry
Mortgage Pass Through
Securities
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
GSE Purchases a pool of mortgages from originators
GSE issues a new pass through security. Interest
and Principle are collected on the mortgage pool by
the GSE who then transfers (passes through) the
payments to the owners of new securities backed by
the mortgages.
Neither the amount or timing of the cash flows
actually matches the cash flows on the pool of
mortgages.
When a mortgage is included in a pool it is said to be
securitized.

Current Questions in the Market
Place relating to GSE’s
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Are the GSE’s, especially Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac growing too fast?
Do they pose a systematic risk for the US
economy?
Should the special treatment they receive be
changed?
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Recent Study by Federal Reserve
Drake
Drake University
Wayne Passmore, an economist at the Federal
Reserve Bank has recently completed a study
on the impact of GSE’s
The GSE’s have a funding advantage
Slightly lower mortgage rtes for a few
borrowers
Implicit subsidy from government relationship
Implicit subsidy responsible for much of GSE
Market Value
MBS have not increased homebuilding
Risk Management
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
The increased competition among financial
institutions and the expansion into new
business lines has placed increased
importance on Consolidated Risk
Management.
This includes methods of measuring risk and
methods of reducing risk.
Value at Risk
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Value at Risk measures the market value of
assets that may be lost given a change in
the market place (for example, a change in
interest rates) that may occur with a
corresponding probability
We are going to apply this to look at market
risk.
A simple example
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Assume you own a 10% coupon bond that
makes semi annual payments with 5 years until
maturity with a YTM of 9%.
The current value of the bond is then 1039.56
Assume that you believe that the most the yield
will increase in the next day is .2%. The new
value of the bond is 1031.50
The difference would represent the value at
risk.
Value at Risk
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Methods based upon Value at Risk have
become a common component of risk
management.
For example the Basel II standards use value
at risk methodology in some portions of risk
measurement.
How effective is it? What are the limitations
of the methodology?
Limiting Risk Exposure
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
In addition to measuring the amount of risk
financial managers are interested in products
that can be used to limit exposure to risk.
Options provide an excellent vehicle for this.
We will cover the basic option pricing
methodology and discuss combining options
to create products designed to limit risk
exposure.
Option Pricing and Asset Value
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Drake
Drake University
Additionally many financial products include
options embedded in the product for example
a call option on a corporate bond. These
options increase the risk of holding the
product.
We will use a second option pricing model to
value call options and put options in fixed
income securities.
UNIVERSITE
D’AUVERGNE
Other Risk Management Techniques
Drake
Drake University
Swaps – exchanging one cash flow stream for
another in an attempt to change the asset or
liability structure of the firm.
Time permitting, we will describe a basic
swap and discuss the use of swaps in
managing risk.
