Chappuis Halder & Co experience and expertiseUnderstand the various aspects of risk

Risks can be opportunities rather than threats if they’re identified, assessed, and managed for competitive advantage.

With many assignments around risk optimization (RWA optimization, cost of risk reduction, recovery process improvement…, ), risk pricing or risk transformation (change management, re-organization, Risk process improvement…), Chappuis Halder & Co could help you to find your right risk profile and the way to organize it, manage it, mitigate it…

Why Risk Management is key for CH&CoRisk management at the heart of today’s banks business model

Financial institutions faced massive losses during the last crisis with dramatic impacts on the overall economy … During the financial crisis of 2007 – 2008, financial institutions faced significant losses that threatened

their own survival, and plunged the economy into a phase of turbulence

The causes of this turbulence were of different nature :> A confidence crisis> Liquidity and funding issues> Volatility and unpredictability of market parameters> High level of correlation between financial institutions

Context

Impacts

… As a consequence, new regulatory requirements were designed along with banks adjusting their business model• In order to restore trust in financial services, The Third Basel Accord came as an answer to the

shortcomings shown during the crisis with new liquidity and additional capital requirements

• In the same direction, banks are giving new trends to their business model, with risk modelling as a business integrated tool :

> Targeting and identifying new risk factors> Developing advanced and sophisticated modelling techniques to measure accurately risk levels in

an unpredictable world> Defining strategy and business trends based upon risk metrics consideration

All banking activities are concerned by managing and controlling risksCH&Co experiences and expertise cover the entire scope

Managing risks is about understanding all banking activities…

• During the crisis of 2007 – 2008, severe losses occurred across all banking activities

• Consequently, banks are considering to identify and control all types of risks in Retail Banking and Corporate and Investment Banking as well

• Whether it is about regulatory intent or simply for internal purposes, managing risks is now a major concern for banks affecting all banking activities and transactions

• Consequently, modelling and managing risks in banks are transversal and cross-disciplinary

… As well as understanding the dynamics of interactions between them

• Banking activities are not perfectly separated. They interact with each other (more or less, depending on the activities) which means that a risk within an activity can affect another and make risk contagion more likely

• Risk management can and must be an integrated tool for strategic decision making

• To do so, understanding the dynamics of interactions between banking activities is essential

• As an example, when a bank grant a credit for a counterparty, it must consider credit risk as well as funding and liquidity aspects

All financial operators failed to foresee the scale and the magnitude of the crisis

• As monolines became important clients for rating agencies, a conflict of interest appeared and for too long, risks were underestimated

• As rating agencies are considered a risk barometer, an over-confidence was placed in information they gave

Rating agencies1

• Risk function had been put aside banks strategies because were not profit-only driven

• Risk managers did not have sufficient weight or knowledge to challenge front office models etc…

Risk managers 2

• Market participants were driven by profit regardless of risks they take

• It was a short term vision, not driven by durability or oriented toward a longer time scale

Market participants5

• Loopholes and shortcomings were revealed in rules defined by regulators to measure and identify accurately all risks

• Regulators put faith in markets self-regulation regardless of strong disturbance signals

Regulators 3

• As products became more and more complex, banks’ top managers did not always have a deep understanding of these products

• Knowing that they were highly profitable, top managers were blinded

Banks’ top management 4

There is an urgent need for restructuring banks…… Across all activities and business lines

BFI's ROE evolution - 2001 to 2011

CIB revenues are still too low…

• The economic context does not allow business expansion

• Economic growth is essentially at standstill in developed countries, and signs of slowing down are observed in emergent countries

• Fears of the European debt crisis make market participants unwilling to take risks and therefore limit their activities

• Banks focus on less risky activities and products which has an impact on the profitability

• Interest rates have reached historically low levels in both retail banking and CIB

Costs are still increasing …

• Taxes on financial transactions increase costs

• Risk cost have a direct impact on the P&L knowing that the euro crisis highly contributed in its increase tendency

New regulations will increase significantly banks capital

• With Basel 2.5 and Basel III, new capital charges are required to cover CVA risk as well as market risks

• Capital buffers must be constituted to neutralize systemic risks

Which can be explained by economic and political factors

Banks transformation is driven by political, economic and social pressure1- Regulatory constraints and RWA optimization

Activity Tendency

Rates

FX

Credit & securitization

Commodities

Equity

Investment banking

Regulations will push banks to adjust their activities …

Optimizing RWA will become more and more an issue ….

• As more and more regulations are issued, banks will have to optimize their RWA in order to limit the impact on their profitability

• To do so, banks will have to limit activities that concentrate high volumes of RWA and focus on less intensive activities

• This means that banking incomes will be redistributed. In fact, activities that were once highly profitable before the crisis, will become more a cost source than a profit centre

As an illustration, the CIB income distribution will evolve

… In order to optimize RWA and limit the impact on ROE

More and more regulations…

• Since the 2007 – 2009, many regulations have been brought to light making it difficult for banks to be fully compliant without damaging their profitability

• The new regulations will have an impact on the quality and the quantity of capital as well as pushing banks’ to adjust their activities

• For instance, Basel III has a major impact on capital requirements (which consequently will impact the ROE) whereas the Volcker Rule will have an impact on banks activities and organization

The impact of the new regulations on the ROE is significant…

Impact on Capital

Taxes on transactions

OTC Derivatives / CCP

Rates activities have a decrease tendency because of difficult markets in sovereigns and OTC derivatives regulations

FX activities will increase slightly because of a lower volatility

Strong decrease in Credit & Secu because of low liquidity and high volatility and RWA concentration

Increase in Commodities activities because not directly impacted by regulations

No evolution in Equity driven by volatility

Credit and investments granting will become more restrictive

27

Banks’ transformation is driven by political, economic and social pressure2- A structural change in the Risk management function

5 factors will lead to a major change in the risk management department, making it a more decision facilitator with strategic guidance …

Giving Risk managers more weight1

• Before the crisis, risk managers did not have sufficient power to make things change

• It is obvious that since the crisis, this has changed

• In fact, risk management is no more considered as a business killer but rather be used to enhance the quality of the business and reduce losses and identify profit opportunities

Giving Risk managers more talent2 A business integrated vision3

• All financial institutions have been strengthening their risk departments by recruiting new talents

• In fact, in order to challenge models and hypothesis used in the Front Office, banks understood that they need high-profile collaborators in their risk departments

• Moreover, as products became more and more complex, there was an urgent need for fully understanding risks driven by these products

• Managing risks correctly could no more be denied. In fact, as the “Too big Too fail” myth has been shattered forever, it was obvious that the strategy could no more be built without fully considering all risks

• Nowadays, in a changing and challenging environment, a good business strategy is driven by profit opportunities as well as taking acceptable risk levels

Instilling a risk culture4

• Banks faced massive losses because of unethical and irresponsible behaviours of some market operators, who neglected and underestimated risks they were taking

• One major change will concern changing mentalities and operational behaviours by instilling a culture of risk and therefore a more responsible and realistic attitude

Changing the way of managing risks5

• Risk management policy is also subject to evolution

• Credits granting policy is hardening with more selective criteria

• Moreover, risks will be managed in a dynamic way. For instance, pricing counterparty risk is more and more a common practice. In fact, OTC derivatives are no more considered as risk free and CVA is to be priced within the MtM of the deals

28

Banks’ transformation is driven by political, economic and social pressure3- Redefinition of strategic targets

Risk level

ROE

Retail Banking

Redefinition of the Risk/Reward curve profile

• The Risk / Reward targets are to be revised because a business model oriented toward profit only is not viable as the crisis revealed

• Moreover, what was once highly profitable might not be today because of regulatory constraints

• Consequently, banks and financial institutions has to redefine their strategies in order to build up a new business model, viable on the long term with a good balance between risks taken and profitability, and by optimizing the impact of regulatory capital

Before the crisis

After the crisis

Banks’ strategy is now driven by more

considerations than before …

29

Banks’ transformation is driven by political, economic and social pressure4- Modifying the business approach : a more client oriented approach

The Business approach is also evolving by changing the client relationship management… From a short term relationship to a more long term relationship, based on client satisfaction

Change drivers

Long term relationships

• Fuelled by the need to limit conflict of interest, to reduce risks and to meet regulatory requirements, banks are building long term relationships, based on client satisfaction

1

Rebuild trust

• Banks are willing to rebuild confidence with their clients. These clients prefer relationship based on confidence and trust where transparency is a key element

Counselling and advising

• As a decline in ROE is witnessed because high profitable products are less popular, banks will have to return to a more advisory activity

Client strategy

• Optimizing business portfolio by managing accurately the client base : customized products by region, countries, age etc...

2 3

Products simplification

• As instruments became more and more complex, clients had been misled in their investments. Products simplification will enhance clarity as well as transparency

“Our first priority is and always has been to serve our clients’ interests” Goldman Sachs

“Our long-term, relationship-oriented approach has led clients to work with us on many of the most significant transactions in recent years”Morgan Stanley

Banks that can fully understand and meet client needs will reconquer trust and confidence, and therefore, create sustainable business

Driving change management is key for a good transformation

Changing bad practices1

• Changing the “Golden Boy” attitude

• Refocusing on risks undertaken

• Challenging received ideas that are no more applicable in a new environment

• Rebuilding confidence and restoring a healthy image

• Working on clients loyalty by focusing primarily on maximizing clients profits and satisfaction

Adopting a risk culture2

• Moving from a profit culture to a more balanced culture driven by profit as well as risk considerations

• Accepting and understanding regulatory developments and requirements

• Considering risks as an integral part of business and strategy

• Giving risk managers more credibility and more importance

Raising consciousness3

• Understanding that every decision could lead to problems if not analysed nor fully understood

• Acting responsibly by respecting internal policies as well as client needs

• Building a sustainable and healthy business model that can last on the long term which will favour a stable banking industry and a viable sector

… for a more responsible and secure banking industry

Changing bad habits, changing minds, …

32

Making governance more reliable for a more transparent banking industry as well as for enhancing risk management

Enhancing reporting and clarity1

• Simplifying reporting dashboards to enhance clarity

• Building simple indicators for raising alerts in case limits are reached

• Alleviating processes for reporting production to enhance the availability of a clear information and fasten the flow and dissemination of information

• Building streams for relevant information to top management

Preventing and limiting frauds2

• Working and developing models and processes for limiting operational risk. For instance, Rogue trading must be subject to more work and research

• Preventing frauds by building reliable monitoring tools

• Fixing limits and maintaining follow-up

• Changing actual validation processes by making them more simple and efficient for a better judgement

• Optimizing these processes to accelerate decisions

• Redefining actors that are the most reliable and efficient for validation. For instance, validating hypotheses taken by the FO requires a specific knowledge and talent

• Making the validation step more than just a formality

Building efficient counter-powers4

• Strengthening counter-powers to guarantee a better risk management as well as limiting abuses

• Building efficient task forces teams (internal audit, risk managers, etc…) that have sufficient talents and weight to be able to challenge / criticize models and fully understand complex products as well as underlying risks

From a static approach to a more

proactive and dynamic approach for risk monitoring and governance…

Optimizing validation processes3

33

Rethinking organization to strengthen banks resilience as well as adapt business model to a changing and a complex environment

Restructuring the risk function1

• Giving the risk function more weight

• Recruiting new talents

• Including the risk function in business and strategy orientations

• Rethinking processes to make risk function a central actor

• Building a real time vision of consolidated risks

Reducing costs2

• Rethinking the organisation for cost cutting as business opportunities are more rare

• Reducing activities that are a great consumer of RWA and capital

• Deleveraging for risk cost reduction

• Moving to activities that are less taxed

• Building a flexible organization to withstand a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape

• Anticipating regulatory impacts and taking it into account within transformation programs

• Steering and monitoring transformation programs to meet with hot regulatory deadlines as well as political and social pressure

Standardizing organization4

• Standardizing organization across all geographic locations

• Standardizing organization across all business lines

• Standardizing organization across all products and asset types

A new flexible organization to meet with new needs and with a new business

model…

Adapting to regulatory constraints3
