6Repricing Model
- Repricing or funding gap model based on book
value. - Contrasts with market value-based maturity and
duration models recommended by the Bank for
International Settlements (BIS). - Rate sensitivity means time to repricing.
- Repricing gap is the difference between the rate
sensitivity of each asset and the rate
sensitivity of each liability RSA - RSL.
7Maturity Buckets
- Commercial banks must report repricing gaps for
assets and liabilities with maturities of - One day.
- More than one day to three months.
- More than 3 three months to six months.
- More than six months to twelve months.
- More than one year to five years.
- Over five years.
8Repricing Gap Example
- Assets Liabilities Gap Cum. Gap
- 1-day 20 30 -10 -10
- gt1day-3mos. 30 40 -10
-20 - gt3mos.-6mos. 70 85 -15
-35 - gt6mos.-12mos. 90 70 20
-15 - gt1yr.-5yrs. 40 30 10
-5 - gt5 years 10 5 5
0
9Applying the Repricing Model
- DNIIi (GAPi) DRi (RSAi - RSLi) Dri
- Example
- In the one day bucket, gap is -10 million. If
rates rise by 1, - DNIIi (-10 million) .01 -100,000.
10Applying the Repricing Model
- Example II
- If we consider the cumulative 1-year gap,
- DNIIi (CGAPi) DRi (-15 million)(.01)
- -150,000.
11Rate-Sensitive Assets
- Examples from hypothetical balance sheet
- Short-term consumer loans. If repriced at
year-end, would just make one-year cutoff. - Three-month T-bills repriced on maturity every 3
months. - Six-month T-notes repriced on maturity every 6
months. - 30-year floating-rate mortgages repriced (rate
reset) every 9 months.
12Rate-Sensitive Liabilities
- RSLs bucketed in same manner as RSAs.
- Demand deposits and passbook savings accounts
warrant special mention. - Generally considered rate-insensitive (act as
core deposits), but there are arguments for their
inclusion as rate-sensitive liabilities.
13CGAP Ratio
- May be useful to express CGAP in ratio form as,
- CGAP/Assets.
- Provides direction of exposure and
- Scale of the exposure.
- Example
- CGAP/A 15 million / 270 million 0.56, or
5.6 percent.
14Equal Changes in Rates on RSAs and RSLs
- Example Suppose rates rise 2 for RSAs and RSLs.
Expected annual change in NII, - ?NII CGAP ? R
- 15 million .01
- 150,000
- With positive CGAP, rates and NII move in the
same direction.
15Unequal Changes in Rates
- If changes in rates on RSAs and RSLs are not
equal, the spread changes. In this case, - ?NII (RSA ? RRSA ) - (RSL ? RRSL )
16Unequal Rate Change Example
- Spread effect example
- RSA rate rises by 1.2 and RSL rate rises by 1.0
- ?NII ? interest revenue - ? interest expense
- (155 million 1.2) - (155 million 1.0)
- 310,000
17Restructuring Assets and Liabilities
- The FI can restructure its assets and
liabilities, on or off the balance sheet, to
benefit from projected interest rate changes. - Positive gap increase in rates increases NII
- Negative gap decrease in rates increases NII
18Weaknesses of Repricing Model
- Weaknesses
- Ignores market value effects and off-balance
sheet cash flows - Overaggregative
- Distribution of assets liabilities within
individual buckets is not considered. Mismatches
within buckets can be substantial. - Ignores effects of runoffs
- Bank continuously originates and retires consumer
and mortgage loans. Runoffs may be rate-sensitive.
19The Maturity Model
- Explicitly incorporates market value effects.
- For fixed-income assets and liabilities
- Rise (fall) in interest rates leads to fall
(rise) in market price. - The longer the maturity, the greater the effect
of interest rate changes on market price. - Fall in value of longer-term securities increases
at diminishing rate for given increase in
interest rates.
20Maturity of Portfolio
- Maturity of portfolio of assets (liabilities)
equals weighted average of maturities of
individual components of the portfolio. - Principles stated on previous slide apply to
portfolio as well as to individual assets or
liabilities. - Typically, MA - ML gt 0 for most banks and thrifts.
21Effects of Interest Rate Changes
- Size of the gap determines the size of interest
rate change that would drive net worth to zero. - Immunization and effect of setting
- MA - ML 0.
22Maturity Matching and Interest Rate Exposure
- If MA - ML 0, is the FI immunized?
- Extreme example Suppose liabilities consist of
1-year zero coupon bond with face value 100.
Assets consist of 1-year loan, which pays back
99.99 shortly after origination, and 1 at the
end of the year. Both have maturities of 1 year. - Not immunized, although maturities are equal.
- Reason Differences in duration.
23Duration
- The average life of an asset or liability
- The weighted-average time to maturity using
present value of the cash flows, relative to the
total present value of the asset or liability as
weights.

25Unbiased Expectations Theory
- Yield curve reflects markets expectations of
future short-term rates. - Long-term rates are geometric average of current
and expected short-term rates. - _ _
- RN (1R1)(1E(r2))(1E(rN))1/N - 1
26Liquidity Premium Theory
- Allows for future uncertainty.
- Premium required to hold long-term.
- Market Segmentation Theory
- Investors have specific needs in terms of
maturity. - Yield curve reflects intersection of demand and
supply of individual maturities.

28Overview
- Market value-based model for assessing and
managing interest rate risk - Duration
- Computation of duration
- Economic interpretation
- Immunization using duration
- Problems in applying duration
29Price Sensitivity and Maturity
- In general, the longer the term to maturity, the
greater the sensitivity to interest rate changes.
- Example Suppose the zero coupon yield curve is
flat at 12. Bond A pays 1762.34 in five years.
Bond B pays 3105.85 in ten years, and both are
currently priced at 1000.
30Example continued...
- Bond A P 1000 1762.34/(1.12)5
- Bond B P 1000 3105.84/(1.12)10
- Now suppose the interest rate increases by 1.
- Bond A P 1762.34/(1.13)5 956.53
- Bond B P 3105.84/(1.13)10 914.94
- The longer maturity bond has the greater drop in
price because the payment is discounted a greater
number of times.
31Coupon Effect
- Bonds with identical maturities will respond
differently to interest rate changes when the
coupons differ. This is more readily understood
by recognizing that coupon bonds consist of a
bundle of zero-coupon bonds. With higher
coupons, more of the bonds value is generated by
cash flows which take place sooner in time.
Consequently, less sensitive to changes in R.
32Price Sensitivity of 6 Coupon Bond
33Price Sensitivity of 8 Coupon Bond
34Remarks on Preceding Slides
- The longer maturity bonds experience greater
price changes in response to any change in the
discount rate. - The range of prices is greater when the coupon is
lower. - The 6 bond shows greater changes in price in
response to a 2 change than the 8 bond. The
first bond has greater interest rate risk.
35Duration
- Duration
- Weighted average time to maturity using the
relative present values of the cash flows as
weights. - Combines the effects of differences in coupon
rates and differences in maturity. - Based on elasticity of bond price with respect
to interest rate.
36Duration
- Duration
- D Snt1Ct t/(1r)t/ Snt1 Ct/(1r)t
- Where
- D duration
- t number of periods in the future
- Ct cash flow to be delivered in t periods
- n term-to-maturity r yield to maturity (per
period basis).
37Duration
- Since the price of the bond must equal the
present value of all its cash flows, we can state
the duration formula another way - D Snt1t ? (Present Value of Ct/Price)
- Notice that the weights correspond to the
relative present values of the cash flows.
38Duration of Zero-coupon Bond
- For a zero coupon bond, duration equals maturity
since 100 of its present value is generated by
the payment of the face value, at maturity. - For all other bonds
- duration lt maturity
39Computing duration
- Consider a 2-year, 8 coupon bond, with a face
value of 1,000 and yield-to-maturity of 12.
Coupons are paid semi-annually. - Therefore, each coupon payment is 40 and the per
period YTM is (1/2) 12 6. - Present value of each cash flow equals CFt (1
0.06)t where t is the period number.
40 Duration of 2-year, 8 bond Face value
1,000, YTM 12
41Special Case
- Maturity of a consol M ?.
- Duration of a consol D 1 1/R
42Duration Gap
- Suppose the bond in the previous example is the
only loan asset (L) of an FI, funded by a 2-year
certificate of deposit (D). - Maturity gap ML - MD 2 -2 0
- Duration Gap DL - DD 1.885 - 2.0 -0.115
- Deposit has greater interest rate sensitivity
than the loan, so DGAP is negative. - FI exposed to rising interest rates.
43Features of Duration
- Duration and maturity
- D increases with M, but at a decreasing rate.
- Duration and yield-to-maturity
- D decreases as yield increases.
- Duration and coupon interest
- D decreases as coupon increases
44Economic Interpretation
- Duration is a measure of interest rate
sensitivity or elasticity of a liability or
asset - dP/P ? dR/(1R) -D
- Or equivalently,
- dP/P -DdR/(1R) -MD dR
- where MD is modified duration.
45Economic Interpretation
- To estimate the change in price, we can rewrite
this as - dP -DdR/(1R)P -(MD) (dR) (P)
- Note the direct linear relationship between dP
and -D.
46Semi-annual Coupon Payments
- With semi-annual coupon payments
- (dP/P)/(dR/R) -DdR/(1(R/2)
47An example
- Consider three loan plans, all of which have
maturities of 2 years. The loan amount is 1,000
and the current interest rate is 3. Loan 1, is
an installment loan with two equal payments of
522.61. Loan 2 is a discount loan, which has a
single payment of 1,060.90. Loan 3 is
structured as a 3 annual coupon bond.
48Duration as Index of Interest Rate Risk
49Immunizing theBalance Sheet of an FI
- Duration Gap
- From the balance sheet, EA-L. Therefore,
DEDA-DL. In the same manner used to determine
the change in bond prices, we can find the change
in value of equity using duration. - DE -DAA DLL DR/(1R) or
- DE -DA - DLkA(DR/(1R))
50Duration and Immunizing
- The formula shows 3 effects
- Leverage adjusted D-Gap
- The size of the FI
- The size of the interest rate shock
51An example
- Suppose DA 5 years, DL 3 years and rates are
expected to rise from 10 to 11. (Rates change
by 1). Also, A 100, L 90 and E 10. Find
change in E. - DE -DA - DLkADR/(1R)
- -5 - 3(90/100)100.01/1.1 - 2.09.
- Methods of immunizing balance sheet.
- Adjust DA , DL or k.
52 Immunization and Regulatory
Concerns
- Regulators set target ratios for a banks capital
(net worth) - Capital (Net worth) ratio E/A
- If target is to set ?(E/A) 0
- DA DL
- But, to set ?E 0
- DA kDL
53Limitations of Duration
- Immunizing the entire balance sheet need not be
costly. Duration can be employed in combination
with hedge positions to immunize. - Immunization is a dynamic process since duration
depends on instantaneous R. - Large interest rate change effects not accurately
captured. - Convexity
- More complex if nonparallel shift in yield curve.
54Convexity
- The duration measure is a linear approximation of
a non-linear function. If there are large changes
in R, the approximation is much less accurate.
All fixed-income securities are convex. Convexity
is desirable, but greater convexity causes larger
errors in the duration-based estimate of price
changes.
55Convexity
- Recall that duration involves only the first
derivative of the price function. We can improve
on the estimate using a Taylor expansion. In
practice, the expansion rarely goes beyond second
order (using the second derivative).
56Modified duration
- DP/P -DDR/(1R) (1/2) CX (DR)2 or DP/P
-MD DR (1/2) CX (DR)2 - Where MD implies modified duration and CX is a
measure of the curvature effect. - CX Scaling factor capital loss from 1bp rise
in yield capital gain from 1bp fall in yield - Commonly used scaling factor is 108.
57Calculation of CX
- Example convexity of 8 coupon, 8 yield,
six-year maturity Eurobond priced at 1,000. - CX 108DP-/P DP/P
- 108(999.53785-1,000)/1,000
(1,000.46243-1,000)/1,000) - 28.
58Duration Measure Other Issues
- Default risk
- Floating-rate loans and bonds
- Duration of demand deposits and passbook savings
- Mortgage-backed securities and mortgages
- Duration relationship affected by call or
prepayment provisions.
59Contingent Claims
- Interest rate changes also affect value of
off-balance sheet claims. - Duration gap hedging strategy must include the
effects on off-balance sheet items such as
futures, options, swaps, caps, and other
contingent claims.
