Chapter Seven Asset-Liability Management: Determining and Measuring Interest Rates and Controlling Interest-Sensitive and Duration Gaps
Goals of This Chapter • The purpose of this chapter is to explore the options bankers have today for dealing with risk – especially the risk of loss due to changing interest rates – and to see how a bank’s management can coordinate the management of its assets with the management of its liabilities in order to achieve the institution’s goals.
Key Topics in This Chapter • Asset, Liability, and Funds Management • Market Rates and Interest Rate Risk • The Goals of Interest Rate Hedging • Interest Sensitive Gap Management • Duration Gap Management • Limitations of Hedging Techniques
Asset-Liability Management The Purpose of Asset-Liability Management is to Control a Bank’s Sensitivity to Changes in Market Interest Rates and Limit its Losses in its Net Income or Equity
Asset-Liability Management • Historical View of Asset-Liability Management: • Asset Management Strategy • Liability Management Strategy • Funds Management Strategy
Interest Rate Risk • The Measurement of Interest Rate: • 1. YTM (Yield to Maturity)
Measurement of Interest Rate • Example 7-1: • A government bond is currently selling for $900 and pays $80 per year in interest for nine years when it matures. If the redemption value of this bond is $1,000, what is its yield to maturity if purchased today for $900? • The yield to maturity equation for this bond would be: • Using a financial calculator the YTM = 9.72%
Measurement of Interest Rate • 2. HPR (Holding Period Rate of Return) • Example 7-2: • Suppose the government bond described in example 1 above is held for three years and then the thrift institution acquiring the bond decides to sell it at a price of $950. Can you figure out the average annual yield? • Using a financial calculator, the HPY is 10.56%
Interest Rate Risk • Kinds of Interest Rate Risk: • Price Risk • When Interest Rates Rise, the Market Value of the Bond or Asset Falls • Reinvestment Risk • When Interest Rates Fall, the Coupon Payments on the Bond are Reinvested at Lower Rates
The Component of Interest Rates Function of: • Risk-Free Real Rate of Interest • Various Risk Premiums • Default Risk • Inflation Risk • Liquidity Risk • Maturity Risk
The Goals of Interest-Rate Hedging • The Net Interest Margin (NIM): to freeze the spread between asset revenues and liability expenditures • The equity: to insulate the equity (net worth) from the damaging effects of interest rate changes
Interest Rate Sensitive Gap Management • 1. Interest-Sensitive Assets • 2. Interest-Sensitive Liabilities • 3. Interest-Sensitive Gap Measurements Dollar Interest-Sensitive Gap Interest Sensitivity Ratio • 4. Gap Positions and the Effect of Interest Rate Changes • 5. Strategies in Gap Management
Interest-Sensitive Assets • Short-Term Securities Issued by the Government and Private Borrowers • Short-Term Loans Made by the Bank to Borrowing Customers • Variable-Rate Loans Made by the Bank to Borrowing Customers
Interest-Sensitive Liabilities • Borrowings from Money Markets • Short-Term Savings Accounts • Money-Market Deposits • Variable-Rate Deposits
Interest-Sensitive Gap Measurements Interest-Sensitive Assets – Interest Sensitive Liabilities Dollar Interest-Sensitive Gap = Interest Sensitivity Ratio
Asset-Sensitive Bank Interest Rates Rise NIM Rises Interest Rates Fall NIM Falls Liability-Sensitive Bank Interest Rates Rise NIM Falls Interest Rates Fall NIM Rises Gap Positions and the Effect of Interest Rate Changes on the Bank
Zero Interest-Sensitive Gap • Dollar Interest-Sensitive Gap is Zero • Interest Sensitivity Ratio is One • When Interest Rates Change in Either Direction - NIM is Protected and Will Not Change
Example of IS GAP Management • Example 7-3:
NIM Influenced By: • Changes in Interest Rates Up or Down • The Spread Between Interest-Sensitive Assets and Liabilities • Important Decision Regarding IS Gap: • Management Must Choose the Time Period Over Which NIM is to be Managed • Reallocate Assets and Liabilities to change the Spread • Develop Correct Interest Rate Forecast
Limits of Interest-Sensitive Gap Management • Interest-Sensitive Gap Does Not Consider the Impact of Changing Interest Rates on Equity Position • It’s difficult to make sure the amount of interest-sensitive assets and the amount of interest-sensitive liabilities. • Correct interest forecasting is very important.
Duration Gap Management • The Conception of Duration • Using Duration to Hedge Against Interest-Rate Risk
Duration Gap Management • The Conception of Duration • Definition of Duration • Calculation of Duration • Price Risk and Duration
Duration Gap Management • Using Duration to Hedge Against Interest-Rate Risk • A. Duration Gap • Dollar Weighted Duration of Assets • Dollar Weighted Duration of Liabilities • Positive Duration Gap • Negative Duration Gap • B. Change in the Bank’s Net Worth
The Concept of Duration Duration is the Weighted Average Maturity of a Promised Stream of Future Cash Flows.
Duration and the Price of Bond • The pricing formula of bonds: • First derivative:
Duration and the Price of Bond • The relationship between the price change of a bond and duration, YTM is as follows: • Price Sensitivity of a Security
Duration Gap Management • Duration of an Asset portfolio: Where: wi = the dollar amount of the ith asset divided by total assets DAi = the duration of the ith asset in the portfolio
Duration of a Liability Portfolio Where: wi = the dollar amount of the ith liability divided by total liabilities DLi = the duration of the ith liability in the portfolio
Example of Duration Management • Examples 7-4: • New Phase National Bank holds assets and liabilities whose average duration and dollar amount are as shown in this table: • What is the weighted average duration of New Phase’s asset portfolio and liability portfolio. What is the leverage-adjusted duration gap?
Limitations of Duration Gap Management • Finding Assets and Liabilities of the Same Duration Can be Difficult • Some Assets and Liabilities May Have Patterns of Cash Flows that are Not Well Defined • Customer Prepayments May Distort the Expected Cash Flows in Duration • Customer Defaults May Distort the Expected Cash Flows in Duration • Convexity Can Cause Problems
