Case Study

Risk Analysis for the introduction of new lending products

FOCUS ON: Case studies,

The client, a public lending bank, wanted to introduce two new products to its portfolio and needed to conduct a risk assessment in order to determine the bank’s capital needs for these new products. The main problem was that the client had no internal data to support such an assessment. Using historic statistical data, AR provided the client with a model that allowed to assess the risks associated with these products and determine the capital needs for these products.

CUSTOMER GOALS

The customer wanted to introduce two new lending products to its portfolio, one being a guarantee for commercial bank loans and the other an expansion of existing specialized lending products due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The main goal of the project was to develop a methodology to quantify the risks associated with these two products and derive from this methodology an estimate for the own funds required to support said products.

CHALLENGES

The main challenge of the project was the lack of historical customer data at the bank. Due to its small scale, the bank did not have sufficient internal data to make a reliable estimate of the parameters needed for the risk assessment (e.g. Probability of default of the prospective borrowers). Additionally, the increased uncertainty under the economically damaging pandemic was difficult to consider in the model development.

SOLUTION

By researching statistical data relevant for the products to be assessed, estimates for the probability of default and loss given default based on the characteristics of the product and its target market could be made. The overall size of the loan portfolio, the financial instrument details and the prospective customer base were defined by the client. Using these estimated and the risk-weighted assets approach, Avantage Reply calculated the maximal loss amounts for the products and simulated a portfolio of loans as a plausibility check for the assumptions. The capital requirements for the two products were derived using these estimates of risk-weighted assets.

Case Study

Counterparty Credit Risk (Pillar 1 and 2)

The client, a major banking group specialised in the provision of online banking and trading services, was in the process of launching new derivative products for its retail clients and required assistance for the counterparty credit risk calculations and regulatory reporting of these products.

Case Study

Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk

The client, a major banking group specialised in the provision of online banking and trading services, was in the process of launching new derivative products for its retail clients and required assistance with calculating the capital requirements for counterparty credit risk under the new standardised approach. This project was a continuation of similar work which Avantage Reply performed prior for this client, regarding the mark-to-market approach.

Case Study

Development and implementation of the IRB-models

Avantage Reply supported a large bank in Luxembourg with a complete transformation of the internal credit risk model portfolio. In doing so, our team was involved in several steps of the model lifecycle: model development, model backtesting, model validation by the second line of defense, model review by the ECB and implementation of the model in the bank’s IT system.
