Focus On

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

IRRBB – Support the transition of the IRRBB metrics computation tool and reconciliation exercise between both outcomes regarding EVE (Economics Value of Equity) and NII (Net Interest Income).

The Client, a huge international bank, request the support of Avantage Reply to further understand and quantify the differences arising between both of their IRRBB metrics calculators. The first, is a hand-made tool provided by the headquarter and the second is a well-known risk software solution used locally. Avantage Reply helps isolating and assessing each of the differences, and in case of materiality, set processes in order to compute overlays. Avantage Reply further helps to add and validate missing products. Validations cover parametrization of the tool, alinement of IRRBB inputs (margin and reference rate) and models (non-maturing products, prepayment, caps, floors,..)
