Assets • cash items (< $1 trillion) • reserves -- required -- excess • deposits at other banks • cash items in collection
securities ($2.4 trillion) • debt securities • U.S. gov’t debt • municipal debt • loans ($6.9 trillion, 66% of assets) • commercial • real estate • consumer • interbank
Liabilities • deposits ($6.4 trillion, 68%) • transaction deposits • Nontransaction deposits ($5.9 trillion) • Savings • CDs (large CDs, >$100,000 can be resold)
borrowed funds • discount loans (Federal Reserve) • federal funds (other banks) • repos • eurodollar loans • commercial paper

Bank risks • Liquidity risk • Credit risk • Interest-rate risk • Other • Trading • Foreign currency • sovereignty • operational
Liquidity Risks • Risk of running short of cash • need cash to deal with deposit outflows • but holding cash drags down profits • Holding too little cash, bank incurs costs of raising additional funds
Credit risk • Risk of unpaid loans • How to minimize? • Credit risk analysis • Credit history, scores • Monitoring, collateral • Diversification • Tradeoff with the gains of loan specialization
Interest-rate risk • changes in interest rates affect BOTH assets and liabilities • assets • changes VALUE • changes the amount of interest income • depends on whether LT or ST
liabilities • cost of funds goes up with interest rates -- rates on CDs, money market accounts, savings, checking
banks typically borrow short-term and lend long-term • so rate sensitive liabilities > rate sensitive assets • so as interest rates rise • costs increase faster than income • bank profits fall • banks must manage interest rate risk • Floating rate loans, swaps
