Future of Financial Innovation

Future of Financial Innovation
From Vantage Point of Market Participant
  • There is much needed innovation within the
    derivatives market and many innovations of the
    past decade have been shut down, perhaps
    permanently, in risk transfer and funding
  • Derivative Markets
  • Continuing problems and hazards with respect to
    liquidity, transparency, valuation and
    counterparty credit risk
  • Securitization Markets
  • Continued impairment of the securitization market
    will hinder the transference of risk between
    providers of credit and pools of available
    capital
  • Funding Markets
  • Beginning to recover after the dislocations of
    Q3/Q4 and the aftermath

Derivatives Market
Market Participant Observations
  • Risk is essential but it needs to be supported.
    Its all about the plumbing.
  • Drive toward central clearinghouse (central risk
    pool) where derivative contracts can be
    submitted, matched, cleared and settled
  • Resistance to changes that yield a standardized
    product that creates a more efficient market
  • Management of gross notional exposures and
    mitigation of operational risks
  • Valuation concerns
  • Valuation reconciliation between counterparties,
    particularly during periods of market stress
  • Counterparty credit concerns
  • Utilization of collateral posted in the ordinary
    course of their capital markets activities
  • Conversely, counterparties have credit risk that
    they want to mitigate
  • Movement to exchange based and cleared products
    eliminates this asymmetrical benefit
  • Relieves potential run on the bank concerns
    seen in 2008

Shutdown of the Securitization Market
Market Participant Case Study
  • In 2001, Citadel launched a Bermuda based
    reinsurance business offering large scale,
    collateralized risk transfers of property and
    catastrophe risks
  • Positive performance as business grew (ex 2005)
    however, needed longer term risk management and
    capital efficiency strategy in order to grow
  • Asymmetrical return distributions in best and
    worst cases
  • Experience in capital markets led to offering of
    insurance risk-linked securitization with
    several benefits
  • Active market demand and diversified investor
    base
  • Fully collateralized protection
  • Multi-year coverage
  • Fixed pricing terms
  • Placed largest bank debt indemnity deal done to
    date in July 2007 at 500 M

Alignment of Interest
Pro Forma Cedants Exposure
  • Citadel and investors interests remain aligned
    throughout the term of the transaction
  • Citadel must cede all policies within the subject
    business lines no potential for adverse
    selection
  • At inception Citadel funds retained 100 of the
    first approximately 650mm of losses each year
  • Cedants covenant to retain at least 50 of ground
    up losses below the securitized layer
  • Losses above the securitized layers are retained
    by Cedants

    meet contingent cash needs of Citadels balance
    sheet
  • Active capital and balance sheet planning
  • Targeting the relationship between aggregate risk
    limits and capital required to support them
  • Balance sheet liquidation model a business unit
    / strategy analysis of Citadels ability to
    reduce risk positions
  • Liquidity Management
  • Model Citadels liquidity ladders to incorporate
    the following parameters
  • Mark-to-Market exposure from stress events
  • Expiration of committed funding facilities
  • Accelerated Capital Calls
  • Reductions in the Balance Sheet of the Firm
  • Counterpart Diversity
  • Across both financing and trading counterparts

Treasury Centralized Execution
Centralized execution of secured funding provides
substantial scalability and efficiency. It also
allows PMs to focus on portfolio construction and
Treasury specialists to focus on funding.
  • Central Funding Approach
  • Assets are funded centrally through Treasury.
  • Close collaboration to determine the long term
    funding needs of the business.
  • Centralized funding through a diverse network of
    sources of cash and collateral.
  • Not reliant on PB model
  • Direct relationships with sources of cash and
    collateral
  • Longer term stable commitments
  • Started effort over 6 years ago

Funding Dislocation
  • Accelerated deleveraging on the back of the
    financial panic and forced liquidations by banks,
    hedge funds and other investors in Q3 and Q4
  • Severe dislocation in funding markets post Lehman
    bankruptcy driven by several factors
  • Inadequate funding models among firms taking term
    asset risk without term liability structure
  • Concerns around systemic risk in the banking
    system
  • Lenders became unwilling or restrictive in
    lending
  • Multiple asset classes impacted, even in fully
    hedged assets
  • Concerns around changing regulatory frameworks
  • Implementation of short sale restrictions by
    regulators in several markets)
  • Ability to liquidate or hedge collateral in a
    default as primary concern
  • Breakdown in the relationship between cash and
    derivative assets, notably in convertible and
    corporate bonds

21
Funding Dislocation
  • Citadel focus in Q3 and Q4
  • Holder of balance sheet assets in a period of
    unprecedented funding dislocation
  • Key Focus to maintain strong liquidity and
    capital position through utilization of
    management framework
  • Reduction in size of balance sheet/risk broadly
    but maintain highest quality trades
  • Refocus activities on skill based investment
    businesses
  • Elimination of several balance sheet intensive
    businesses
  • Reinsurance
  • Fundamental Credit
  • U.S. Power Trading

Estimated US Non-Financial Convertible Discount
to Fair Value
January 1, 1998 to September 12, 2008
The US Non-Financial Convertible Discount to Fair
Value time-series represent the average US
non-financial convertible bond discount to fair
value, weighted by amount outstanding. For this
purpose, the Merrill Lynch US Convertible Index
is used to define the set of securities
considered for inclusion. Convertible securities
whose underlyings do not have exchange-traded
options, exchangeable bonds, convertible
preferred stock, and mandatorily convertible
securities are excluded. The Citadel proprietary
valuation model is used to estimate fair value.
Citadels model is calibrated using US Credit,
Equity, and Option market data from January 2003
to present. The Estimated US Non-Financial
Convertible Discount to Fair Value time-series
incorporates a combination of inputs designed to
provide reasonable estimates of fair value.
Individuals may disagree about the design of the
framework as well as the inputs and assumptions
made. The framework, inputs and assumptions may
not be accurate, and the inputs will change over
time. The actual discount to fair value may
differ materially from the estimated fair values
generated by the Citadel proprietary valuation
model. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that market prices will converge to fair value
over time.

Funding Dislocation The Road Forward
Dysfunctional Funding Market Continues
  • Recent Fed data indicates that total bank
    deposits were approximately 8.8 trillion versus
    3.8 trillion in the money funds with growth
    rates of 5 and 23, respectively, during 2008
  • Over half of money fund growth during Q4 2008
  • Effect of breaking the buck
  • Growth directed toward S/T Agency and Treasury
    securities as CP holdings and Repo holdings
    shrunk
  • Repo market down over 30 in Q4 2008 almost 50
    in the 2008
  • Bank CP market shutdown even with government
    guarantee programs in place
  • Highlights that money funds currently have little
    use in providing liquidity to the system
  • Increased importance of bank deposits in
    traditional mix of short term, medium term and
    long term secured and unsecured lending by banks
    for the foreseeable future
  • Will be constrained by leverage ratio/gross
    balance sheet concerns
