  3. OverviewImportance of Risk Management is driven by four key forces Competitive Rivalry Risk Management Regulatory Environment Shareholder Expectations Complex and Volatile Business Environment Risk Management lies somewhere between astrology and alchemy

  4. Attitudes, Values and Objectives Out with the old... Line of Business Risk Management • My job is: To grow earnings / do business • Risk is: A normal cost of doing business • Memory horizon: Short-term: What are the prevailing market conditions? • Stereotypical attitude: No risk, no return. Don’t handcuff me relative to the competition • Metrics: Volume in front-line positions; Profit for senior positions • My job is: To prevent losses/risky activity • Risk is: Volatility to be avoided • Memory horizon: Long-term: What’s the worst thing that has ever happened? • Stereotypical attitude: ‘The Cautious Librarian’: best way to keep books from being damaged is not to let anyone borrow them • Metrics: Volume in front-line positions; Profit for senior positions Business focuses on the center, while Risk Management focuses on the tails of the distribution

  5. Attitudes, Values and Objectives ...and in with the new. Partnership • Our job is: To create shareholder value through earnings growth and appropriate returns to capital • Risk is: A potential source of competitive advantage as shareholders require us to manage risk prudently. • Memory horizon: Appropriately long to anticipate future cycles, informed by changes in the market over time • Metrics: RAROC; SVA Line of Business Risk Management • Manages performance information • Serves advisory and control function • Manages the budget / P&L • Acts as primary risk manager Risk Management does not make you safer – just more efficient

CEO Internal Stakeholders Regulators External Stakeholders CRO CFO Shareholders Rating Agencies ERM Value Creation Framework – if you can make money Risk Appetite Assets (Return) Value Creation Return on Risk Cost of Capital Portfolio of Enterprise Risks Portfolio of Capital Resources Capital Required (Risk) Capital Allocation (Funding) Capital Management Risk Structure Capital Structure Economic Capital (Use) …You can lose money

  21. Risk Appetite • Risk Appetite – Total risk exposure an organization is willing to accept and prepared to lose in the execution of its strategy. • Factors impacting Risk Appetite: • Financial Objectives • Competitive Situation • Market Conditions Do you want to eat well... ...or sleep well?

  22. Risk Appetite • Risk types: Include hard to measure risks and interrelationships Risk may be one word... • Risk Tolerance: • Credit • Market • Liquidity • Operational • Reputation • Compliance • Strategic ...but it is not one number

  23. Enterprise Risk and Risk Appetite Translate statistics into... • ERM involves moving Risk Management to an integrated Risk and Capital Strategy • Comprehensive • Earnings fluctuations from strategic or business factors can exceed those from financial risk exposures • Risk appetite for financial risk must reflect the current level of business risk • Business risks cannot be measured in the same manner as financial risk, and are largely ignored by economic capital • Interrelationships • Overcome silos: unintended consequences • Top down perspective: integrated one firm view ...shareholder value

  25. ERM in Practice Integrating strategy, capital and capital • Choose target debt rating based on financial distress considerations. • Maintain ability to access capital markets under most conditions • Requires high investment grade (A+/AA-) rating • Estimate asset risk based on investment decisions and risk appetite. • Estimate capital requirement to support asset risk and target rating. • Optimize capital and risk combinations to maximize shareholder value subject to target rating based on market considerations. • Reduce risk given fixed capital level • Hedging – direct cost • Underwriting selection - opportunity loss • Increase capital given fixed investment plan • Increased capital charge Return Out of Risk Appetite LGD (Severity) Capital B Within Risk Appetite A PD (Likelihood) Conservatism of risk principle – Risk never disappears

  26. Value Implications of Risk Appetite Changes Not all Risk is the same Optimal Portfolios Efficient Frontier for Group Business Portfolio C A B Expected Profitability A = Group’s actual portfolio B = Alternative portfolio C = Group’s Target portfolio Perceived Risks (Economic Capital) Risk Management is not free
