Definition and Role of Capital
  • Definition
  • Equity Capital Notes Loan Loss Reserves
  • Role
  • Source of start-up and growth funding
  • Absorb losses during unexpected times
  • Promote actual and perceived soundness
  • Mitigate Moral hazard of Deposit Insurance

4
Capital Adequacy Construction
  • Capital / Deposits
  • Previews possibility of Bank Runs early 1900s
  • Risk Classification
  • Separate Assets only into 6 classes 1950s
  • Separate Functions and assign subjective risk
    measures 1960s
  • Problems
  • Different stds across regulators, not legally
    binding until 1983, unfair to small banks that
    ended carrying more relative capital levels.

5
Capital Adequacy Construction
  • Standard Federal Capital /Assets became 5-6 in
    1981.
  • Large Banks that innovate in proprietary
    activities began to take varying levels of
    off-balance sheet risk
  • BIS (Bank of International Settlements the
    International Fed) implemented, for 12 largest
    nations, risk based capital requirements in 4
    classes of assets in 1988

6
Capital Adequacy Construction
  • Amendment to BIS in 1998 added securities trading
    to these risk classes.
  • Two types of capital
  • Tier 1 (Core) C/S, R/E, P/S, Minority Interests
  • Less Goodwill and Intangibles
  • Tier 2 (Supplementary) Allowances for LL, Capital
    Notes, Hybrid Capital
  • Roughly 4 for Tier 1, 8 for Tier 1 2

Capital Adequacy Example
  • Catagories risk are
  • A1 Cash and U.S. Govts
  • A2 MBSs,Agencies Muni GOs
  • A3 Mortgages Muni ROs
  • A4 All rmg. loans, and bank prem
  • Risk-adjusted capital requirements for total
    capital
  • K 80(A1) .20(A2) .50(A3) 1.0(A4)
  • K 0.080(100) .2(2,500) .5(3,000) 1.0
    (5,000)
  • 0.08 7,000 560.00

Two Points
  • Speculative Requirement
  • If 110 or more short of optimal short futures
    hedge or 10 or more long of same number of
    contracts 15 (cnts.15) will be designated
    Speculative Requirement and 100 of that held in
    reserve.
  • Interest Rate Risk Capital
  • 2 of shortest term gap with 100 held in
    reserve.

11
Problems using Capital Adequacy
  • Differences in credit risk for most loans are not
    taken into account.
  • Book values are used rather than market values
    for most of the assets in the risk-adjusted
    assets calculations.
  • Regulatory requirements may change banks
    behavior in terms of allocation of loanable funds
    and investment decisions and possibly channel
    savings to less than the best uses.
  • Some kinds of bank risk are excluded, including
    operating risk and legal risk.
  • Portfolio diversification is not taken into
    account.

12
Deposit Insurance and Capital Adequacy
  • FDIC scores deposits as to premiums to be
    levied on insurance
  • Variable-rate deposit insurance (in cents per
    100 domestic deposits) implemented in 1994
  • Risk Group CAMELS A1,2 B3 C 4,5
  • Risk Group
  • Capital Level A B C
  • Well capitalized (10) 0 3 17
  • Adequately capitalized (8) 3 10 24
  • Undercapitalized (lt8) 10 24 27
