The development of a new market risk framework


The keyy driver: assessing
g the performance of the VaR model and market risk
measures during the financial crisis
The situation confirmed most of the observations made in July 2005 !!
Credit Risk exposure increased relative to other exposure
Credit Risk related risk factors became (more) material (e.g. Bond/CDS Basis, Correlation-Risk)
Underestimation of migration risk
Misapprehension of default and jump-to-default risks

Modelling shortcuts proved incorrect - misuse of proxies in the pricing and risk measurement of securitisation
products... they are not bonds !
Misapprehension of correlations and volatilities
Misapprehension of liquidity

Number of regulatory Backtesting-Outliers increased significantly


120 Outliers for 15 banks with internal model approval in Germany in 20081
In general a significant increased of backtesting outliers has been observed in all BCBS member countries starting
from July 2007

Internal Model Approach - Generalities

Qualitative & quantitative criteria1


Risk factors
Factors deemed relevant in pricing function should be included in VaR model (otherwise justification to Supervisor)
Non-linearities for options and other relevant products (e.g. mortgage-backed securities, tranched exposures or n-th-todefault credit derivatives)
Correlation risk
Basis risk (e.g. between credit default swaps and bonds)
Proxies used should show a good track record for the actual position held (i.e. an equity index for a position in an
individual stock)

Scaling methodology (e.g. square-root of time) for the holding period (1-day to 10-day) is allowed but must
be justified periodically to the supervisors
Use of weighting schemes is more flexible as long as the resulting capital requirements is not reduced
Update of data sets should be made, at least, on a monthly basis (process allows more frequent updates)
Hypothetical (or clean) backtesting is made mandatory for validation
Stress Testing (use of more recent examples for Stress testing scenarios)

Market risk modelling Part b


Stressed VaR
Internal Model Approach New charges

Intended to replicate a value-at-risk calculation that would be generated on the banks current portfolio if the
relevant market factors were experiencing a period of stress
Applied to all positions covered under VaR - Consistent with the VaR (99%, 10 days) for the current portfolio
Model inputs calibrated to historical data

Continuous 12-month p
period of significant
g
financial stress
Relevant to the banks portfolio
Approved by the supervisor
Regularly reviewed

No particular technique is prescribed for VaR (i.e. parametric, historical or Monte Carlo); hence, different techniques might be
used to deliver a SVaR

For example, banks should consider applying anti-thetic data, or applying absolute rather than relative volatilities to deliver an
appropriate stressed value-at-risk1

At least, a weekly calculation


Capital requirement
Expressed as :

"sVaRavg"= average SVaR number over the last 60 business days (i.e. 12 results)
Multipliers (mc and ms ) are set by supervisors, minimum 3 plus [0 - 1] depending on the backtesting results based on the VaR (not
the SVaR)2
1.

This is not specified in the CRD III

2.

CRD III requires the plus-factor being based on both hypothetical and actual backtesting

Internal Model Approach New charges

Soundness of standard

under the assumption of a constant level of risk,
risk
and adjusted where appropriate to reflect the impact of liquidity, concentrations, hedging, and optionality

Constant level of risk


The constant level of risk assumption implies that a bank rebalances its trading positions over the one
one-year
year capital horizon in a
manner that maintains the initial risk level
This means incorporating the effect of replacing positions whose credit characteristics have improved or deteriorated over the
liquidity horizon with original positions

i k
The frequency of the assumed rebalancing must be governed by the liquidity horizon
The liquidity horizon represents the time required to sell the position or to hedge all material risks covered by the IRC model in a
stressed market
A bank can assess liquidity by position or on an aggregated basis ((buckets)
buckets )
The liquidity horizon for a position or set of positions has a floor of three months
The liquidity horizon is expected to be greater for positions that are concentrated
A non-investment-grade position is expected to have a longer assumed liquidity horizon than an investment-grade position.
A bank may elect to use a one
one-year
year constant position assumption

Correlation/Diversification/Concentration
A banks IRC model must include the impact of clustering of default and migration events (-> correlation/dependence within IRC)
Diversification between default or migration

events and other market variables is not reflected
Issuer and market concentrations must be reflected. issuer and market concentrations

Modelling

Netting only allowed if long and short refer to the same financial instrument
Significant basis risks has to be captured
Risk because of a maturity of the instrument shorter maturity than the liquidity horizon has to be captured
Residual risks resulting from dynamic hedging strategies must be reflected
Optionality must be captured

Validation
Model assumptions and inputs must be regularly validated (LH, CH, correlation, )
Back testing will not be possible. Accordingly, validation of an IRC model necessarily must rely more heavily on indirect methods
including but not limited to stress tests, sensitivity analyses and scenario analyses
Banks should develop relevant internal modelling benchmarks

Review of Quantitative Impact Studies

TBG-QIS 2009:
Excluding the so-called correlation trading portfolio, the study concludes that the changes to the market
risk framework will increase average trading book capital requirements by two to three times their current
levels, although the Committee noted significant dispersion around this average

TBG-QIS 2009/2010: Adjustments to the Basel II market risk framework announced by the Basel Committee (18
June 2010):
As a result of these revisions, market risk capital requirements will increase by an estimated average of
three to four times for large internationally active banks

Changes in risk-weighted assets

assets attributable to the introduction of Basel III and
separated into the following items:

Changes in risk-weighted assets in the trading book


- Table below shows the impact of the revised trading
book capital charges on overall RWAs
- SVaR results in an average increase in overall capital
requirements of 2.6%. However, there is significant
dispersion of the increases across Group 1 banks with
a maximum of 51.8% for one bank in the sample

Changes in trading book-related capital charges


relative to current market risk requirements
- Across the sample of 61 Group 1 banks providing data,
the SvaR was on average 248.7% of the VaR provided
by firms for a non-stressed period, typically the period
ending 31 December 2006.
- This ratio ranged from as low as 86.7% to a high of
814.9%, with a median of 207.2% and a standard
deviation of 141.7%.
- Some additional summary statistics regarding the new
trading book capital requirements compared to current
market risk capital requirements are included in the
table below

Metrics for calculating
g regulatory
g
y capital for market risk
The regulatory framework distinguishes between general and specific market risk:
Specific market risk relates to the idiosyncratic risk affecting exposures to individual issuers
General market risk relates to the systematic risk affecting the overall market
The total market risk of a (portfolio of) position(s) is the sum of its idiosyncratic and systematic components

Standardised Measurement Method

A two

way market is deemed to exist where there are independent bona fide offers to buy and sell so that a price
reasonably related to the last sales price or current bona fide competitive bid and offer quotations can be determined
within one day and settled at such price within a relatively short time conforming to trade custom
