By definition, all behavioral models are limited and will never be 100% reliable

Behavioral models are almost always based on historical data

Quantitative modelers know that behavioral models have bounds

History also trained us to focus more on certain types of behavioral assumptions to give short shrift to others:

Big focus on Prepayments, less focus on Defaults and Recovery and the important negative correlation between them

Unfunded commitments (Commercial Lines, helocs, credit cards) impact on liquidity and credit risk were greatly over looked

New volume, run off, reinvestment and its impact on the dynamics of the balance sheet was universally ignored by “silo based risk management organizations”

By definition, all quantitative analytical models are limited

and will never be 100% reliable

Quantitative analytical models are almost always based on historical

data

Quantitative analytical modelers know that their models have

bounds and cannot be universally applied

Popular Quantitative models such as Value At Risk,

Economic Capital models proved largely ineffective during

the crisis

They are driven by statistical correlation assumptions that by

definition cannot predict behavior that is outside of the sample used

to build them

Analytical Models

We failed VAR, VAR did not fail us.

Many organizations used their Var number primarily for compliance

Pre crisis, Daily/monthly/annual limits were never breached

During the crisis, once in a lifetime moves started happening every

week and the models did not keep pace, so limits were adjusted,

assumptions were not

Sound Judgment was not universally appliedModels were either not believed or they were over believed

If we all fail in the worst case, we will get bailed out so why capitalize for

systemic risk anyway?

Stress Tests are not limited by History, only by your imagination

They can cover a wide range of possible scenarios and can be

based on multiple market and economic factors

Interest rate, exchange rate, credit spreads, economic drivers

They can be used in conjunction with new volume, runoff and

reinvestment strategies that are consistent with management’s

vision for the organization

They can be used in conjunction with quantitative behavioral and

correlation models to provide the best of both worlds

The results can be used to manage the risk and enhance the

profitability, not just satisfy the regulators
