1 Best Practices in Asset Liability Management Frank Wilary Principal Wilary Winn LLC September 22,

2 Topics Covered Best practices related to ALM modeling Best practices related to managing the ALM position 2

3 ALM Modeling Best Practices Explicit calculation of credit losses Refreshed FICO scores Updated loan to value estimates Accurate structured models for CMOs (Agency and private) Level yield calculations for premium expense amortization Detailed and supportable assumptions on non-maturity share behavior Use of forward curves for discounting and reinvestment ALCO ownership and control of the ALM assumptions Evolvement to Stochastic analyses on mortgage loans and investments 3

4 Best Practices for Managing the ALM Position Construction and management of cash flow ladders Loans Investments Non-maturity shares Share certificates Understanding tradeoffs Base case vs. rising rate environment Short term vs. long term Risk based pricing Monitoring the duration variance between assets and liabilities Detailed policies that provide early warnings of undue risk Understanding of current and proposed regulations on the business model 4

5 Networking Opportunities Expertise in: Investing Lending Share Pricing Risk Management Modeling Our goal for this conference LEARNING OPPORTUNITY 5

6 Asset Liability Management Asset and liability management (ALM) is the practice of managing risks that arise due to mismatches between assets and liabilities and earning an adequate return. ALM is also the administration of policies that address financial risks associated with changing interest rates. 6

7 Interesting findings in our ALM validation reviews of other vendors work Structured investments were modeled as pass-through securities Premium amortization expense on investments is ignored Coupons applied to book value instead of par balance Loan portfolio pay downs ignore amortization and prepayment conventions (straight line run off over 3 years) Base case mortgage prepayment rate is inadvertently applied to all rate shock scenarios 15 days of interest expense was inadvertently added to all share certificates upon maturity Non-maturity share behavior is unknown so modeling is based upon the 2001 NERA study or non-maturity shares are at par in all scenarios (we run these for comparative purposes) 7

8 Common reasons or motivations provided by potential clients for inquiries we receive about improving their ALM reporting Overreliance on step-up callable Agency securities in the investment portfolio caused the +300 shock to exceed the ALM threshold Non-maturity share behavior is unknown Credit impact on ALM position is unknown Regulatory pressure to increase ALM sophistication Organization wants to evolve its ALM understanding 8

9 ALM Modeling Best Practices Starts with the ALM model selection Talent level for the person selected to run the model Oversight and control to the process Similar philosophy to auto racing Car Driver Crew chief and team 9

10 Why we selected the ZM Desk ALM Model Allows direct modeling of credit risk using conditional default rates and loss severity assumptions for both loans and investments (Private label CMOs) Integrates with the 3 rd party software that we license Calculates on a deterministic or stochastic basis Helps meet the main objectives of Enterprise Risk Management 10

11 Enterprise Risk Management According to the Risk Management Association, Enterprise Risk Management ( ERM ) is the capability of an organization to understand, control, and articulate the nature and level of risks taken in pursuit of risk-adjusted returns. A comprehensive ERM framework provides mechanisms to identify, measure, and control these risks. Financial risk examples include credit, liquidity and capital. 11

12 Repayment - CRR Default - CDR Loss Severity Loan Assumptions for ALM By developing potential credit losses explicitly with default and loss severity assumptions at the loan or cohort level, the main objectives of Enterprise Risk Management and the current expected credit loss model ( CECL ) are met. 12

16 ALM Loan Discount Rate Best Practices Base case discount rates should reflect known risk characteristics Higher discount rates for Delinquent loans High loan-to-value loans Loans made to borrowers with lower refreshed credit scores Base case ALM should reflect current market value Rising interest rate shocks for the loans should reflect full market increase 16

19 Investment Assumptions Mortgage Securities CRR by Shock Scenario Investments -100 Base CDR Severity Agency MBS Agency CMO Non Agency CMO Generally fixed rate securities that produce monthly cash flow Extension risk with rising interest rates as the rate of repayment slows down Reinvestment risk in falling interest rate scenarios Easier to construct cash flow ladders compared to alternatives 19

20 Investment Assumptions Agency Debt If callable, determination as to when the call is likely to be exercised Anticipated call date changes based upon interest rate shock and current rate environment Bullet repayment at call date or maturity Most securities present significant extension risk and re-investment risk Does not produce monthly cash flow Call features and bullet repayment make construction of cash flow ladders difficult Overweight in this investment type produces rising rate economic value of equity variability issues (client inquiries) 20

26 Duration Measure of price sensitivity to interest rates. The calculation involves yield, principal repayment and present value. Higher duration implies more price volatility risk. 26

27 Non-maturity Share Assumptions for ALM Re-pricing beta Effective maturity Decay Surge Members have continuous and unlimited options to increase or decrease balances. These options may or may not correlate to market conditions. 27

28 Sources of Non-maturity Share Assumptions Historical studies of an institution s past share behavior NERA (National Economic Research Associates) study FDICIA 305 Par (thus, no assumption) 28

29 Quarterly Share Re-Pricing Comparison to 1 Month LIBOR Share Drafts Regular Shares Money Market Shares 1 M Libor

30 Beta Indicates the magnitude of change the credit union would likely make in response to changes in market interest rates Calculated with a linear regression that compares the change in the dividend rate to the change in 1 month LIBOR Calculated Betas are used for the ALM analysis Account Type Beta Share Drafts Regular Shares Money Market

31 Effective Maturity Indicates when the last cash flow for an account type is projected to occur Derived from a second regression analysis modeling the spread between the rate index and deposit rate versus the average balance for the account type Calculation of r-squared measures how well changes in average deposit balances are explained by changes in the spread of the deposit rate to the rate index R-Squared Effective Final Maturity (years)

32 Financial Crisis Impact on Effective Maturity Calculation Due to the unprecedented financial crisis, non-maturity deposit balances have increased even though dividend rates were at historical lows As a result, effective maturities are calculated to be longer than in a normalized interest rate and economic environment Wilary Winn recommends using 50% to 75% of the calculated effective maturities for ALM modeling in a rising interest rate environment 32

33 Decay assumptions A decay rate analysis can be performed using one of two methods: a) Account number method: This method begins with a set of accounts and balances. These accounts are then tracked in order to determine what happens to the balances over time. In the process, no new accounts are considered. b) Origination date method: This method compares beginning and ending balances of all accounts by account type and also takes new accounts into consideration in order to determine a decay rate. Account numbers are generally not needed for this method. In most cases, both methods will yield roughly the same results. 33

34 Decay Rate Example for ALM Analysis Decay Rates by Shock Scenario Share Type Base Share Drafts Regular Shares Money Markets

35 Financial Crisis and Surge Deposits As a result of the recent financial crisis, financial institutions experienced non-maturity balances increasing even with dividend rates at historic lows Investors increased their preference for liquidity leading to a surge in deposits at financial institutions across the nation These Surge deposits are projected to migrate into alternative investments in other asset classes as market interest rates increase Surge deposits should be modeled with high decay rates and higherthan-average betas to forecast the outflow of these funds 35

36 Surge Analysis Example Actual vs. Projected Balance Money Markets - Actual vs Projected Balances 45,000,000 40,000,000 35,000,000 Actual Balance Projected Balance 30,000,000 25,000,000 20,000,000 15,000,000 10,000,000 5,000,000-20% of the money market balance is identified as surge 36

42 Recommendations for Policies State permitted variability for both short-term (NII for 1 year and 2 years) and long-term interest rate risk (EVE) under various interest rate shocks (-100, +100, +200, +300 and +400) State objectives related to managing cash flow (% of principal returned in year 1, year 2, etc.) State assumption methodology related to non-maturity deposit ALM modeling Limit the purchase of securities with call features Proactively seek out and test funding sources in conjunction with the contingency funding plan Add a derivatives policy in case it is needed in the future 42

43 Solutions if +300 EVE Scenario Exceeds the ALM Policy Threshold (asset duration significantly exceeds liability duration) Sell long-term fixed rates assets and/or investments Originate variable rate loans / purchase variable rate securities Extend the maturity on share certificate liabilities Extend the maturity on advances Evaluate derivative solutions 43
