16 THE IMPACT ON BANK PORTFOLIO INVESTING THE BOND TRAP 14

17 The Bond Trap As the economy slows: Loan totals and demand for new credit declines The Federal Reserve lowers interest rates The investment portfolio increases as unlendable dollars must be reinvested into securities If optionality is present in the investment portfolio, bonds are called and/or pre-payments increase forcing additional security purchases in low interest rate environments. As a result, banks tend to purchase the majority of their securities in lower interest rate environments.

18 The Bond Trap As the economy recovers and begins to expand: Loan demand increases as the economy improves. The Federal Reserve begins to raise interest rates in response to the improving economy and rising inflation expectations. Cash flow from the investment portfolio is used to meet new loan demand and/or deposit withdrawals. As interest rates rise, call options extend and pre-payments decrease. The investment portfolio begins to extend. Bonds have losses. Fewer new purchases are made at the higher yield levels. As the cycle matures, yield curve flattens reducing the relative value of longer-term securities.

20 The Math Behind Gains and Losses 18

21 The Math Behind Gains and Losses 19

22 Total Return as a Measurement of Performance and Market Risk Total return includes the yield of a security and the market value gain (or loss). Total return is a much better measurement of a portfolio s performance and risk. $1,000,000 * 3.50% yield=$35,000 annual income plus a gain of $10,000 generates a total return of 4.50%. If the total return is greater than the yield there is a market value gain in the security. If the total return is less than the yield there is a market value loss in the security. Market prices are extremely efficient at pricing risk (call risk, credit risk, extension risk ). Since market value is the present value of the future income, total return also provides an indication of how long you will maintain the superior income stream(gain) or below market income stream(loss). 20

27 Good Ideas for Right Now MANAGING RISK WHILE STILL MAKING MONEY 25

28 Good Ideas for Right Now! Two opposing goals: Maximize yield/interest income today Prepare for the next interest rate cycle, whenever it comes Environment we are investing in: Lowest bond yields in a lifetime! Weak economic recovery hampered by political uncertainty, confidence issues, balance sheets repairing (bank, corporate and household) translates into weak loan demand and growing deposits. Steep, buy flattening yield curve rewards extension to add yield at the same time we need the yield. Solutions: Security Diversification Manage duration/extension risks Prepare for balance sheet changes 26

32 Managing Duration/Extension Risk Duration is the time-weighted, present value of a bond s cash flows. Stated in terms of years. Will always be shorter than the maturity of a bond due to interest payments and principal payments. Modified duration can be used to measure the approximate price sensitivity of a bond. A duration of 3.50 years indicates the price of the bond will change 3.50% given a 100 basis point change in interest rates. The longer (larger) the duration the more price sensitive of the security. The duration can/will change as the cash flows change. Example would be a callable security or mortgage-backed bond. Term of Bond % Change in Price 6 months 1x 1 year 2x 5 years 7x 10 years 13x 30 years 19x The price on a 30 year bond will change 19x as much as a 6 month bond. 30

36 Investment Strategies for Bank Investment Portfolios What determines the right investment strategy for your bank? Risk tolerance Interest rate risk. Credit risk. Market volatility risk. Cash flow. Time & Expertise Other responsibilities. Part-time portfolio manager or full-time. Board Direction Risk guidelines from the Board Policy limitations for interest rate risk as well as the investment portfolio. Balance sheet composition Loan-to-deposit ratio Funding make-up Interest rate forecast Rising or falling rates? Premium or discount bonds? Duration? Callable or bullets? Taxable or tax-exempt?

37 How and Where to Invest Now Securities FDIC Insured Certificates of Deposits High quality municipal bonds-taxable and tax exempt* Additional regulatory emphasis on credit review Extraordinary call feature on Build America Bonds Non-callable Agencies Short final maturity, high coupon callable Agencies* Low risk, short-final maturity mortgage-backed securities and CMOs.* High quality corporate bonds Additional regulatory emphasis on credit review make whole call features Adjustable rate securities* MBS ARMs Floating rate CMOs 35

38 Bar Bell Maturity Structure Traditionally, banks have managed the cash flows from the investment portfolio using a laddered maturity approach. Relatively equal amounts of maturities are invested annually, quarterly, monthly to insure sufficient cash flow and provide multiple reinvestment options throughout the course of the year. This is still an excellent method of investing. However, in the current interest rate environment a bar bell approach makes more sense. A bar bell allows a short-term ladder of maturities invested from 1 year to as much as 3 years and then a second portion of maturities out longer (5-7 or 10 years). The benefits, especially given the dynamics of today s environment, are substantial. It permits a short-term liquidity ladder and a longer-term ladder to generate higher yields. The additional market value risk of the long-term portion is offset by the short-term ladder of securities 36

40 Benefits and Costs of Taking Gains Now Benefits Allows the capture of potentially over priced bond prices Opportunity to improve credit quality by selling low quality bonds now at the highest potential price. Allows the bank to reposition maturities now with little cost. Add to capital. Offset loan losses. Costs Accelerates future income into the current year. If interest rates do not move higher quickly the reduced investment income quickly overtakes the gain realized. Tax considerations Extremely low reinvestment options 38

41 Be Careful Watch excessively high premiums on mortgage-backed securities. Be aware of yields if pre-payments increase. Watch for negative yields. Poorly structured CMOs that permit significant extension risk for small decreases in pre-payment speeds. Excessive call risk/extension risk in callable Agencies, MBS/CMOs and municipals. Reaching for yield by lowering credit quality or extending durations. Watch the shape of the yield curve for direction on where to invest. 39

42 Final Thoughts Today s investment environment is one of the most difficult I have experienced in more than 30 years of working with banks on interest rate risk management and investment portfolio management. Diversification and prudent investment decisions today have never been more important. Resist the temptation to reach for yield: credit quality or maturity/duration. Stay with high quality, well structured issues (municipals, corporate, MBS/CMOs). Cheap in; cheaper out. Perform pre-purchase analysis Perform a regular post-purchase analysis that includes on-going credit review and extension risk analysis. Add not just rate shock analysis, but consider adding rate ramp scenarios(interest rate risk analysis as well) If needed, upgrade municipal credit quality now. If it is painful, it is likely the right thing to do. Where you are rewarded the least, you will benefit the most. 40
