  • Three Major Changes In The Composition Of Banks Balance Sheets Displacement of lending by other activities. Growth of off-balance-sheet assets in percent of total assets. Displacement of deposit loan-income by other operating income.Changes Are Reflected By Desegementation And Restructuring Expanding into other markets (Securities) to face competition to the Asset Management Industry. Entering the insurance markets Entering Asset Management business providing investment management services and a wider range of financial services to their customers. All this changes are reflected by heavily increasing M & A activities.

  • GlobalizationFinancial Markets Are Facing Closer Integration Liberalization and Development of Information Technologies prepared the way to globalization and integration Securities Portfolios became far more internationally diversified (Table 8). The growth in gross portfolio flows increased by almost more than 200 times.Cross border transactions in Bonds and Equities reached up to between seven and one times GDP. In the US those transactions between US and foreign investors totaled 17 Trillion US$. (see Table 9) or 213% of the US - GDP.Although investment portfolios are fare away from beeing adequately internationally diversified, i.e. portfolios still do not reflect the the structure of the world market capitalization (USA: 42%, Japan 15%, UK: 9%, other industrial countries: 23%, emerging markets: 11%)

  • Mirroring this expansion firms also turned to international markets to raise funds (see Table 10).Even the volume of outstanding issues of international debt securities reached to 3,7 Trillion US $, sixfold larger than in 1985.Financial Globalization has been a counterpart to international trade. The foreign exchange market has far outpaced the growth of trade. In 1995 an annual worldwide trade volume of 6,1 Trillion US$ was faced by a daily market turnover of 1,2 Trillion US $. (see T.11.)Nonresidents holdings of public debt also increased substantially (see Table 12)GlobalizationFinancial Markets are Facing Closer Integration

  • Markets are Interlinked Example: Spot and Futures Market

  • Spot Future - ParityToday, one (theoretical) Index-Future is sold at 5,500 (1 per Index-point). Long and Short-positions can be described by a profit and loss diagram:If you are Long-Future, then you may claim for delivery of one index at a price of 5,500 at the maturity of the index-future. That means, if the index at delivery is quoted at more than 5,500, you will win from your futures position.Spot Future ParityIndex Arbitrage (Example)

  • Spot Future - ParityYou hold an Index-Portfolio, currently valued at 5,500 (1 Index-point = 1 ). If the annual risk free rate rf is at 3.5 % and the expected dividends on your Index portfolio are at 100 (d = 100/5,500) , an Index Future with one year to maturity has a fair price of:To prevent our Index-Portfolio from losses, we could hedge the price risk by taking a short future position (selling a future at 5,592.40).Spot Future ParityIndex Arbitrage (Example)

  • Spot Future - ParityThe total expected payoffs from your portfolio will depend on the fu-ture state of the environment (see below payoffs 1-5). A decreasing stock market will be compensated by profits from the short future po-sition, increasing stock prices will be outbalanced by losses due to pay-ment obligations from the future.Spot Future ParityIndex Arbitrage (Example)

  • Spot Future - ParityInitially you have paid 5,500 for your stock portfolio. Taking the short future position, the final outcome of your portfolio will be 5,692,40 , whatever the stock price will be, i.e. you will earn 192,40 which equals 3.5%. Obviously, this profit is riskless:Spot-Future-ParitySpot Future ParityIndex Arbitrage (Example)

  • Spot Future - ParityRising future prices will due to arbitrage trading - induce rising spot prices. For example, a future traded at 6,000 is (relative to a spot market price of 5,500) clearly overpriced, if the stock price remains unchanged at 5,500 . In this case, smart traders will make arbitrage profits of 407,50 per contract and bring back the market to equilibrium:Note, that the arbitrage profit equals the difference between a fair- and mispriced future (6,000 5,592,40) plus Dividends. Higher Future prices will lead to massivly increased demand at spot markets until spot prices and futures are back to equilibrium. Spot Future ParityIndex Arbitrage (Example)

  • Spot Future ParityFinancial Market StabilitySpot Markets and Future (Forward) Markets are interlinked.Mispriced spot or future market instruments will affect both markets.Future market speculations that drive futures prices will also drive spot market prices due to arbitrage trading (et vice versa).Speculation on futures markets, resulting in higher future prices will induce higher spot market prices due to arbitrage trading. Finally this may result in spot market bubbles that jeopardizes the allocation mechanism of real goods markets. Spot Future ParityIndex Arbitrage (Example)

  • The annual turnover (Business Unit Heating Energy) of the former Berlin Energy - Supplier BEWAG (now VATTEN-FALL) 1999 / 2000 mounted to 771 Mio DM. The winter season 1999/2000 showed 2.425 HDD. This equals an average turnover per HDD of 320 TDM. If the winter would have been warmer (for example at only 2000 HDD) this would have caused a lower turnover of approx. 425 HDD x 320 TDM = 136 Mio DM. Insofar BEWAGs operational income is directly related to the average temperature in winter season. Weather DerivativesIn many cases operational income is directly weather related

  • Weather Derivatives The Payoff-Profile from Heating Business remembers to the payoff profile of a financial future. Example: If 2500 HDD would represent an average cold winter, then a higher number of HDD would create additional turnovers, whereas a lower number would lead to a smaller turnover.

  • Weather Derivatives In this example the risk of warmer winters (i.e. < 2500 HDD) could be hedged by weather futures. At a Standard of 100 per HDD, a weather future on the basis of 2500 HDD has a contract value of 2500 x 100 = 250 T. Given a profit-margin of approx. 20% (turnover at 2500 HDD = 2500 x 320 TDM = 800 Mio DM (400 Mio ) i.e. a total average profit of 160 Mio DM or 80 Mio resp. an average profit per HDD of 32 T) BEWAG could hedge the weather risk selling 320 weather futures at an Index of 2500 HDD.

  • Weather Derivatives If BEWAG takes the short-position this could result in the following scenarios: Operational Income Income from HDD Turnover (Mio ) Profit (Mio ) Short Future (Mio ) Total Profit (Mio ) 2000 320 64 16 80 2100 336 67 12,8 80 2200 352 70 9,6 80 2800 448 90 -9,6 80 2900 464 93 -12,8 80 3000 480 96 -16 80

  • Weather DerivativesPayoff-profiles of a hedged (operational) business are similiar to the payoff-profiles of a future hedged trade.

  • Weather DerivativesOptions Put - OptionsHedging with weather futures means not only to eliminate operational risks but also to eliminate the chance of having a better result than hedged. To avoid this, one could lmake use of weather options (as traded at LIFFE). To minimize option premiums, options frequentlly contain caps or floors.

  • Origin and Characteristics of NPL

  • NPLStockFlowStock and Flow Problems Need Different ApproachesSolve the Flow Problem:Credit Ceilings Efficient Legal Framework Operational Restructuring Centralized Bad Bank Hard Budget Constraints

  • Market for Credit Derivatives Source: British Bankers Association (in Bio. US$)

  • Basics of Credit Derivatives Asset Swapspays fixed Swap-rate (Coupon Rate)Receives fixed ratereceives LIBOR + var. Premium (spread)The Investor protects his portfolio against credit quality degradations by a simple swap construction: using a interest swap the investor swaps fixed income from his portfolio into variable + premium payments from the risk buyer.

  • Credit Default Swap (C.D.S.)Premium: bps x Notional ValueCredit Event ?Yes: Compen-sationNo: No Com-pensation

  • Total Rate of Return Swap (Synthetic Sales or Short Sales of Loans)Reference Value (e.g. Bondes, Indices Asset baskets, Loans)LIBOR +/-Spread Fixed Interest Ratespositive Market price changesnegative Market price changes

  • Credit Linked Notes (CLN)Fixed Rate CLNRepayment of C.L.N. possibly minus compensation if Credit EventNotional Value of CLN

  • Credit Spread Put Construction of strike-spreads Example: 5-y. Corp.Bond: 5,95% 5-y. Swap-rate (fix against 6-M-EURIBOR): 5,50%Credit Spread: 0,45% = 45 base points At an agreed strike-spread of 45 bps, the short side will pay a compensation, if the spread increases.

  • Credit Spread Put Mechanism

  • What is A Credit Event ?The ideal case would be a reference value (e.g. a bond) that is highly correlated with the secured loan.

  • Credit Default Swap / Option Settlement Versions

  • Extension of Risk Management by Credit DerivativesMarket RisksRisk of Default Insolvency RiskSpread RiskCredit Default SwapCredit Spread PutTotal Rate of Return Swap

  • Alternative I: ABS Transactions (True Sale)

  • Market Securitisation of Credit Risks (Europe 2002 in Mrd. $)

  • Alternative II: Synthetic Sales by Collateralized Debt Obligations (C.D.S.)

  • FazitDie Problemkreditbearbeitung wird zuknftig deutlich strker von risikoprventiven und/oder risikokurativen Managementaufgaben geprgt sein.Im risikoprventiven Bereich erwarte ich einerseits eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit portfolio-orientierten Risikostrategien, andererseits eine sprbare Zunahme des Transfers von Adressen-risikenIm risikokurativen Bereich erwarte ich eine strkere Akzentuierung eines fundamentalen (Kredit-)Sa-nierungsmanagements auch unter Einbeziehung bankexterner Funktionen

  • A.R.T. - Produkte Ausstattungsmerkmale Cat-BondsPionierprodukt war der Cat-Bond (Hagelbond) der Winterthur Versicherung (WinCat). Der erste WinCat Bond enthielt folgende Formulierung:Die Zahlungen auf den Zinscoupon entfallen, wenn die Winterthur whrend der Beobachtungs-periode, die jeweils vom 1. November bis zum 31. Oktober des Folgejahres dauert, als Folge min-destens eines groen Hagel- oder Sturmereignisses fr mehr als 6,000 Motorfahrzeuge ihrer Motorfahrzeug-Kasko-versicherung Leistungen erbringt. Dabei werden Schden, die innerhalb eines Kalendertages auftre-ten, dem gleichen Schadensereignis zugeordnet.

  • A.R.T. - Produkte Beispiel Cat-Bonds1997 plazierte ein SPV (United Services Automobile Association und Residential Reiunsurance Limited) einen Cat-Bond ber 477 Mio USD in zwei Tranchen mit jeweils einjhriger Laufzeit: Die erste Tranche war nominalwert-geschtzt (Class A-1, LIBOR + 273 bps) und umfate 164 Mio USD, die zweite Tranche (Class A-2, LIBOR + 576 bps) ber 333 Mio USD unterlag Tilgungsrisiken. Die Zahlungsstrme der Tranchen waren auf Hurricane Katastrophenschden bedingt, soweit diese in ausgewhlten Regionen einen Gesamtbetrag von 1 Mrd. USD bersteigen. Erreichen die Hurricane - Schden ein Volumen von 1,5 Mrd. USD, verlieren die Class-A-2 Investoren ihr gesamtes Kapital.

  • A.R.T. - Produkte Optionsprodukte/ BeispielAn der Chicago Board of Trade werden seit 1992 indexbasierte Optionsprodukte, Puts und Calls, gehandelt. Der zugrunde-liegende Index ist der PCS - Property Claims Services - Schadensindex. Jeder Indexpunkt reprsentiert einen Marktschaden von 10 Mio USD. Beispiel: Ein Erstversicherer mchte sein Sturmrisiko / Florida reduzieren. Er nutzt hierzu den an der CBOT gehandelten Florida PCS - Call Spread 100 / 150, d.h. er kauft Call Optionen auf einen PCS - Indexstand 100 und verkauft gleichzeitig Call Optionen auf einen PCS - Indexstand von 150.

  • General Characteristics of Alternative Investment Strategies

  • Hedge Funds Business ModelMostly unregulated, offshore residing eclectic investment pools with aggressively managed short term portfolios. Hedge Funds employ investment techniques like short selling, leverage, and are allowed to create a variety of synthetic positions by unlimited usage of derivatives.Often hedge funds are set up as private partnerships, open to a limited number of investors and require a very large initial minimum investment. Typically hedge Funds are illiquid as they often require investors keep their money in the fund for a minimum number of years.Hedge funds managers typically charge a management fee (1-2% of asset value) and a performance fee of about 20% of the capital gains and capital appreciation.

By additional usage of debt (leverage) respectively completing short or long-positions synthetically, the total risk and return positions can be amplified.

  • Three Popular Arguments on Hedge Fund Investments and Financial Market Stability ?Hedge Funds operate high leveraged portfolios of mostly risky assets. As a result, market processes tend to be more volatile and more uncertain. Thus syestemic market risk will increase !Hedge Fund investments tend because of their sheer size to manipulate asset prices. This will directly compromise the pricing mechanism and thus lead to inefficient factor allocations !As Hedge Funds often do not have to follow any regu-lations that are used to be applied to onshore finan-cial institutions (transparancy of investment styles, accounting, disclosure and auditing, taxes etc.) investors are not sufficiently protected.

  • 1. Are Hedge Fund Strategies Risky Investments ?

  • 1. Do Hedge Funds Increase Systematic Risk ?(Theoretical Portfolios of Traditional Assets (MSCI 50%, JP Morgan Global 50%) and the CSFB-Hedge Fund Index based on monthly figures between 1994-2004)

  • 2. Hedge Funds and Market ManipulationHedge Funds do not rely on momentum investments and often take contrary positions. Thus, their engagement will support the pricing mechanism while providing liquidity and keeping the market process running. By this, Hedge Funds help substantially to rebalance the markets and smooth volatility. Hedge Funds, that operate in smaller markets generally have the potential of market manipulation. In the case of arbitrage trading or related relative value strategies, hedge funds activities target directly to change market prices. A manipulation of prices back to the equilibrium is desired. This may be seen different concerning other investment strategies.

  • 2. Hedge Funds and Market Manipulation In fact, only 20% of the total investment is arbitrage tra-ding. The rest is more or less directional. The major part of directional investments is represented by directional equity-investments (long-/short-only).

  • The Hedge Funds market is dominated by well experienced, well informed and educated powerful investors (average entry investment at 630 T$ !) like banks, pension funds, endowments and wealthy individuals (HNI). As they are strong enough to take care of their specific information needs, no regulation is required. 3. Need Investors to be Protected ?

  • Investor protection seems to be a week argument, if it is focused on the typical hedge fund investor as shown above. As hedge funds have started to copy the profitable investment model of private equity funds in a short term version, there are not the hedge fund investors that need to be protected, but those long term investors, who are affected by short term hedge fund investment activities.Therefore, to focus investor protection on the hedge fund investor is misleading. Investors should be protected against hedge fund investors. 3. Need Investors to be Protected ?

  • Summary and ConclusionsCurrently Hedge Funds control an investment volume of about 1.2 Trillion USD, which means a proportion of 12% of the total global fund investments.Although they are powerful, Hedge Funds are widely un-regulated, e.g. they do not report their acitivities like other financial institutions, mostly they dont have to fol-low minimum capital requirements, minimum disclosure standards or minimum audit standards. In a strong sense they do not contribute to rational decision making. Due to their characteristics non regulated offshore residents, excessive leverage, short sales and unlimited incorporation of derivatives (synthetic assets) their investment styles and their sheer size, hedge funds affect or have the potential to affect market processes.

  • Summary and ConclusionsThe total business model including investors who provide equity, hedge fund corporations that select investments and investment styles and investment banks which provide the loan is highly concentrated and interlinked. That high integrated and concen-trated business modell increases the probability of extensively widespread cascading effects in case of a failure (see the LTCM Case in 1998).As Hedge Funds have started to copy typically Private-Equity-Engagements even those parts of the real economy that have not been direktly linked to capital markets, have become the target of short term financial investments and will be exposed to intensified leverage risks.

  • Does The Market Need Hedge Fonds ?Hedge Funds are in general non transparent, offshore located and tax avoiding investment strategies beyond any national jurisdiction. With the today known market strategies that includes desireable arbitrage trading only to a proportion of approxi-mately 20% and the observable move to directional strategies concerning long equity positions Hedge Funds need to be regulated to support long term oriented micro- and macro-policy approaches.Hedge Funds have not only the potential but also strong incentives to manipulate market processes e.g. to generate price movements that enhance the profitability of their underlying positions.

  • Private Equity Investments and Regulatory (Tax) ArbitragePrivate Equity means to invest in non-listed, frequently undervalued corporations and any other (undervalued) assets. Mostly returns result simply from tax arbitrage.
