Bankers sometimes talk about instituting efforts to sell mutual funds, market and trade derivative securities, and conduct investment banking activities. Where would the revenue and costs from these activities enter into the profit function? What does the traditional split between NII and profits from other sources? What split do the executives of these banks envision? Does increasing emphasis on these businesses affect the profit from other activities? E.g., mutual funds will take some deposits away from the traditional banking part of the financial services firm. If the firm doesn't pursue these options, will it retain the business anyway? Even if it will, services should be offerred in the form that offers the greatest profit. What is the most profitable mix of products?

Incomplete measure of credit risk profile. # PNC s advantage in Net Interest Income more than offsets its greater burden and causes higher profitability.
SOURCES OF RISK 1. Credit risk - chance that the borrower will not pay interest or repay principal on a timely basis. Examine using Net Charge-offs = gross charge-offs - recoveries Allowance for Loan Losses = accumulation set aside to reflect anticipated losses due to default Provision for Loan Losses = periodic allocation to Loss Reserve Past Due Loans = loans for which contracted payments (principal or interest) have not been made within 90 days of due date but are still accruing interest Nonaccrual Loans = loans that are past due and are no longer accruing interest Noncurrent loans = past due loans + nonaccrual loans Growth Rate in Loans Provision for Loan Losses and Loss Reserve reflect expectations. Charge-offs, Nonaccrual Loan, and Past Due Loan figures reflect actual experience with each loan. Loss Reserve is reported in the balance sheet. Provision for Loan Losses is reported in the income statement. Charge-offs are not directly reported but can be calculated as PL(t) - [LR(t) - LR(t-1)]. CREDIT RISK

RECOGNIZING BAD LOANS STEP 1. Record as an expense the portion of loans that bank believes will not be collected. This step is implemented during each accounting period. Account Debit Credit Provision for loan losses xxxxx Alllownce for loan losses xxxxx This reduces Net Income, Net Loans, and Total Assets by the amount of the anticipated default, $xxxxx. STEP 2. Banks makes decision that a specific loan will not be collected and must be eliminated from its accounts. This step is implemented whenever a bank decides that all or part of a loan are uncollectible. Account Debit Credit Allowance for loan losses zzzzz Loans - defaulted borrower zzzzz This reduces Gross Loans by the amount that the bank deems is uncollectible. The Reserve for potential loan defaults is also reduced. Net Income, Net Loans, and Total Assets are unaffected by this step. The amount in STEP 1 equals or exceeds the amount in STEP 2.
2. Liquidity Risk - the risk that the bank cannot meet payment obligations in a timely and cost effective manner. 3 components: total funding needs, stock of liquid assets and ability to access new deposits. Measured by Debt to Assets to measure total funding needs Short-term securities/total Assets bank holds to measure stock of liquid assets. Core deposits/total Assets and Volatile Liabilities/Total Assets to measure stability of funding sources. 3. Market Risk - the sensitivity of earnings or equity value to market prices/rates. Interest rates, exchange rates, stock prices, commodity prices, etc Must be analyzed in a relative sense -- a comparison of assets and liabilities. Any sensitivity on one side of the balance sheet that is matched by an offsetting sensitivity on the other does not expose the bank to risk. Any sensitivity that is not matched does expose the bank to risk of changes in interest rates.
4. Operating risk - efficiency and productivity of the bank. Inefficiency can be a source of low profitability. In measuring, focus on expense control by looking at Total Assets/Number of Employees, Average salary per employee, Occupancy expenses/non-interest expense. Importance of understanding the impact of type of business on operational efficiency of banks. 5. Capital Risk - risk that the bank might become insolvent. 2 aspects to risk of insolvency leverage decision - equity to assets. risk profile from above Insolvency can come about as a result of large defaults and adverse movements in market prices. Costs of illiquidity can adversely affect the value of the bank's equity if fire sales of assets are required. Lack of profits can come about because of being an inefficient producer of bank services.
