Agenda

Traditional business - Balance Sheet

Performance - Income statement

*non traditional business Off –Balance Sheet activities

*Measuring bank performances

*Asset Management /Liability Management

we examine how banking is conducted to earn the highest profits possible.

In the commercial banking setting, we look at the bank’s balance sheet, balance sheet management, Off-Balance Sheet Activities, and how to Measuring Bank Performance

The Bank Balance Sheet

The Balance Sheet is a list of a bank’s assets and liabilities

Total assets = total liabilities + capital

Use of Fund = Source of Fund

Banks invest these liabilities (sources) into assets (uses) in order to create value for their capital providers (shareholder) & debt holder

4

Sources of Capital

Liability

Debt claim

Deposit

Borrowing

Equity

Ownership claim

Stock

Retained earnings

Source: Liabilities

Liabilities come from

Deposits (Various Deposits)

a. Checkable Deposits / Demand Account

you can demand at any time

b. Non Transaction Deposits/ non-checkable account

you can’t write checks

b.1. Savings

b.2. Time deposit (fixed maturity)

Borrowing

from Federal Reserve Systems (central bank), other banks, Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBank System), or other companies

Checkable Deposits/ Demand Account accounts that allow the owner (depositor) to write checks to third parties

6

Source: Capital

Bank Capital

the source of funds supplied by the bank owners

About 11% of assets.

Raised by selling equity or retained earnings from previous operation.

accounts that allow the depositor to write checks to third parties

Depositor can demand the money at any time

non-interest earning checking accounts (reserve)

money-market deposit accounts (MMDAs) (no reserve requirement)

interest earning negotiable orders of withdrawal (NOW) accounts (reserve)

For depositor - safe and liquid, but offer low or no interest rate.

Lowest cost funds for bank

Make up about 2% of bank liabilities, >50% of banks’ operating expenses

Source: Liabilities

- Checkable Deposits

Reserve requirements are the amount of funds that a depository institution must hold in reserve against specified deposit liabilities. Depository institutions must hold reserves in the form of vault cash or deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.

The amount of net transaction accounts subject to a reserve requirement ratio of 3 percent was set under the Monetary Control Act of 1980 at $25 million. This "low reserve tranche" is also adjusted each year (see table of low reserve tranche amounts and exemption amounts since 1982). Net transaction accounts in excess of the low reserve tranche are currently reservable at 10 percent.

It used to be the most important source of bank money during the 1960s.

MMDAs & checking accounts are payable on demand, that is if the depositor show up at the bank and request their money by making a withdraw, the bank must pay them immediately, Similarly for receiving a check. If someone present the check at a bank and ask for payment, the bank must pay the money immediately

Asset for depositor but liability for banks

Effective April 24, 1986, money market deposit accounts (MMDA), which had previously been subject to full reserve requirements, were made subject to the transitional phase-in program of the Monetary Control Act. In addition, the order of application of the exemption applied to reservable liabilities was changed. These actions reduced required reserves by about $260 million.

Investors can let go some interest benefit in exchange for the liquidity

NOW accounts are essentially checking accounts where you earn interest on the money you have deposited. With a NOW account, the bank or credit union has the right to require at least seven days written notice of a withdrawal, though this is rarely done.

10

Source: Liabilities - other deposits

Nontransaction Deposits (a.k.a. non-checkable deposits):

Can’t write check for purchase/transaction

accounts from which the depositor cannot write checks

savings accounts (you can withdraw your money at any time subject to restrictions)

time deposits (certificates of deposit - CDs)

a. < $100,000 /$250,000

b. >= $100,000 / $250,000

No immediate liquidity for depositor, but higher interest rates

Highest cost of funding, but most stable for bank

primary source of bank liabilities (69%)

Saving accounts were once the most common type of non transaction

make up to six pre-authorized transfers or withdrawals

For time deposits, the maturities ranges from several months to five years. You can not withdraw early unless you pay significant penalty.

11

Borrowings:

from central banks, other banks, FHLBank system, or other companies

discount loans/advances (from the Fed)

fed funds (from other banks)

interbank offshore dollar deposits (Eurodollars from other banks)

From bank holding companies (parent companies)

Advances / loans from FHLBank to support housing mortgage

Other arrangement with companies: repurchase agreements (e.g.: “repos”)

make up 12-18% of bank liabilities

Source: Liabilities

- borrowings

A bank holding company is a company that controls one or more banks, but does not necessarily engage in banking itself. – e.g: morgan Stanley (subject to Fed supervision). Banks – also subject to FDIC

Bank Balance Sheet

13

Usage: Assets

How banks use their money?

Banks use their capital (money) in order to create value for their capital providers (shareholder) & debt holder

In other words, to earn income

Assets reflect the bank’s operation , and how it makes money

Cash and Reserves

Securities (bonds) - investment

Loans (various loans)

Other assets

Bank Balance Sheet

15

Usage: Assets – Reserve

Reserves:

funds physically held in the bank’s account with the Fed

a.k.a. Vault cash/reserves/fed funds – most liquid

Two types of reserves

1. Required reserves:

represent what is required by law under current required reserve ratios , which is a certain fraction of the deposits the bank get

0, 3% , 10%

2. Excess Reserves: Any reserves beyond this amount.

Why banks hold reserves?

First, regulation reasons, second, cushion for banks to meet its obligation when depositor come to the bank to withdraw money or when a check is written on an account

https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm

16

Usage: Assets – cash

Cash items in Process of Collection:

checks deposited at the bank

funds from other bank have not yet been transferred.

Deposits at Other Banks:

usually deposits from domestic banks (local) at international banks (large)

referred to as correspondent banking

Small banks’ assets in exchange for services (e.g.: foreign exchange transaction, assistance with securities purchases)

Sometimes checks can take days to transfer.

Generally speaking, the reasons domestic banks employ correspondent banks include limited access to foreign financial markets and the inability to service client accounts without opening branches abroad. Correspondent banks can act as intermediaries between banks in different countries or as an agent to process local transactions for clients when they are traveling abroad Most international wire transfers are executed through the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) network. Knowing there is not a working relationship with the destination bank, the originating bank can search the SWIFT network for a correspondent bank that has arrangements with both banks.

Upon finding a correspondent bank having arrangements with both sides of the transfer, the originating bank sends the transferred funds to its nostro account held at the correspondent bank. The correspondent bank deducts its transfer fee, usually $25 to $75, and transfers the funds to the receiving bank in Japan. In transactions such as this, the correspondent bank adds value in two ways. It alleviates the need for the domestic bank to establish a physical presence abroad and saves the work of setting up direct arrangements with other financial institutions around the world.

Not a recent development, but unique to the U.S.

Many small banks need “large bank” services

Large banks provide these services

In return, small banks deposit money with large banks

17

Usage: Assets – cash items

Reserves, Cash items in Process of Collection, and Deposits at Other Banks are collectively referred to as Cash Items in our balance sheet

Account for 16% of assets

The most liquid assets of a bank

Usage: Assets – securities (investment)

Securities (all debts):

U.S. government bond securities (t-bills, t-bonds, t-notes)

agency debt ?

municipal debt

other (non-equity) securities (e.g. commercial papers)

-* structured debt instrument

Short-term Treasury debt (t-bills) is a secondary reserve because of its high liquidity.

These make-up about 22% of assets (10% of commercial banks’ revenue)

banks are only allowed to hold debt-securities (commercial banks, S&L , credit union – thrifts)

So securities will be all debt instruments

Are bonds default free???

19

Usage: Assets – Loans

Loans:

commercial loans, real estate mortgages, consumer loans, interbank loans (federal funds)

Not very liquid- wait till maturity or sell

Not very safe – default risk

THUS, BANKS Charge higher interest rate

a bank’s primary income-earning assets

Generate More than half of banks’ revenue (highest return)

About 53% of assets

Differences in the balance sheets of different depository institutions is primarily in the type of loans in which they specialize

S&L and mutual savings banks, specialize in residential mortgage / house mortgage, while credit union specialize in consumer/car loans

20

Usage: Assets - others

Other Assets:

bank buildings, computer systems, and other equipment.

Bank Balance Sheet

Bank Balance Sheet

Asset Transformation

Asset transformation is, for example, when a bank takes your savings deposits and uses the funds to make, say, a mortgage loan

So now you’re asset (deposits) is transformed into the bank’s assets (mortgage loan)

Deposits are relatively short term (< = 10 years), while mortgage loans are long term (30, even 50 years)

Banks tend to “borrow short and lend long” (in terms of maturity).

T- Accounts Analysis

1. Deposit of $100 cash into First National Bank (checking account)

2. withdrawal of $100 cash from First National Bank (checking account)

When bank receives deposits, reserves  by equal amount; when bank loses deposits, reserves  by equal amount

25

T- Accounts Analysis

3. Deposit of $100 checks into First National Bank from Second National Bank

When bank receives deposits, reserves  by equal amount; when bank loses deposits, reserves  by equal amount

Later, for first national bank, the cash arrives;

So Cash item in process of collection reduce by 100, vault cash increase by 100

We could combine the two steps for first national bank in to one.

When bank receives deposits, reserves  by equal amount; when bank loses deposits, reserves  by equal amount

26

Reserve Requirement

This simple analysis gets more complicated when we add bank regulations to the picture.

Deposit of $100 cash into First National Bank (assume 10% reserve ratio with checkable accounts)

Bank is free to work with the $90. The bank loans the $90 to its customers

$10 of the deposit must remain with the bank to meeting federal regulations.

Bank is free to work with the $90

The bank loans the $90 to its customers

What will happen if the depositor come in and ask for his 100 dollars?

The bank have to give it immediately, - manage a bank

27

Off-Balance-Sheet Items

Off-balance-sheet items are contingent assets and liabilities that may affect a commercial bank’s balance sheet and/or income statement

OBS items become on-balance-sheet items only if some future event occurs

Loan commitments

Letters of credit

commercial letters of credit

standby letters of credit

Loans sold

Derivative contracts

OBS ACTIVITIES

LOAN COMMITMENT - Commitment to future lending

up-front fees are charged for making funds available

commitment fees are charged on the unused portion of a loan commitment

Fixed interest term

LETTER OF CREDITS

Commercial letter of credit

Standby letter of credit

LOANS SOLD

With vs. without recourse

DERIVATIVES

Hedging vs. speculating

Loan commitment - The bank must stand ready to supply the contractual amount at anytime over the commitment period.

Only when the borrower actually draws on the commitment do the loans made under the commitment appear on the balance sheet

Commercial letters of credit—

client buys goods and services

bank promises to pay seller on behalf of client

seller presents bank with draft

Standby letters of credit—

bank guarantees client’s financial performance of some contract

client’s counterparty relies on bank’s creditworthiness, not borrower’s

beneficiary presents draft to bank if client does not perform

Common uses of SLCs—

securities offerings

credit enhancement of other debts

completion of projects

Loans sold:

No recourse – if the loan the bank sold should go bad, the buyer of the loan must bear the full risk

With Recourse

– if the loan the bank sold should go bad, the buyer could put the loan back to the bank

- the loan sales always presents a contingent credit risk to the seller (bank)

In Reality, the recourse or nonrecourse nature of the loan sales is quite ambiguous

29

Other Fee-BASED SERVICES

Non-traditional services

Correspondent banking (item 3): sale of bank services to other financial institutions

Trust services: management of client wealth eg: assist in the management of pension fund

Non-banking financial services: investments and insurance (BHC)

TRUST services

Only the largest bank has sufficient staff to offer trust services

As fiduciary, bank manages assets for beneficiary

Over half of individuals’ assets are managed by bank trust services

Trust function is strictly segregated from other bank functions

Common trust services—

administration of estates

management of pension assets

registration and transfer of securities

administration of bond indenture

Glass Steagell Act – separate investment, insurances and traditional banking services

Investment services, insurance, and other financial products

Deregulation (Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act - 1999) allows these services, provided clients clearly understand they are not covered by deposit insurance

E.g: BOA & Merrill Lynch

Banks can compete directly with mutual funds and securities firms

30

Relationship between balance sheet & Income statement

Traditional business for banks are reflected in their balance sheet

Take deposit & borrowing

make loans and purchase securities (investments)

Interest expenses – from 1. deposit & borrowing

Interest income – from 2. securities and loans

Interest expenses, interest incomes, and other non-interest income and expenses (such as salaries, overheads…etc.) are reported in income statement

31

Banks’ Income Statement (a)

The Income Statement

Interest income (II) is the sum of interest and fees earned on all assets.

Interest on loans, interest earned on investment securities

Interest expense (IE) is the sum of interest paid on all interest bearing liabilities.

Interest paid on deposits,

payment for federal funds, repurchase agreements, and borrowed money (borrowings)

Gross interest income minus gross interest expense is labeled net interest income

33

The Income Statement – non traditional services

Non-Interest Income (NII) includes:

Fiduciary activities – trust service (i.e. asset management)

Deposit service charges

Trading, venture capital and securitization income

*Investment banking, advisory, brokerage and underwriting fees and commissions

*Insurance commission fees and income

Net servicing fees

Other net gains (losses) e.g: capital gains from securities transaction

Non-Interest Expense (NIE) consists of:

Personnel, occupancy and other operating expenses

Intangible amortizations and goodwill impairment

Gross non-interest income minus gross non-interest expense is labeled net non-interest income

34

Banks’ Income Statement (a)

Banks’ Income Statement (b)

The Income Statement

Net interest income = Interest income (II) – Interest expense (IE)

Net noninterest income = Noninterest income (NII) – Noninterest expense (NIE)

Income before taxes and extraordinary items (EBTEI) = Net interest income + Net noninterest income – Provision for loan losses

Net income = EBTEI – income taxes – extraordinary items

All together,

Net income = (II-IE) + (NII – NIE) - Provision for loan losses – income taxes – extraordinary items

Net interest margin is interest income minus interest expense divided by earning assets

Net non-interest margin is non-interest income minus non-interest expense divided by earning assets
