1 Repurchae Agreement, Collateral Re-Ue and Intermediation Piero Gottardi Vincent Maurin Cyril Monnet EUI, EUI, Bern Rome TV, Feb. 26, 2016 Gottardi, Maurin, Monnet (EUI, EUI, Bern) Repo Rome TV, Feb. 26, / 27

2 Motivation: Importance of Repo Repo: ale of an aet combined with a forward contract (to repurchae of the aet) di erence from collateralized loan: pledged collateral (re-ue) repo lender obtain right to Repo received coniderable attention ince the crii: extenively ued by market maker, dealer bank,... to get fund, acquire ecuritie, get afe return on cah. Growing body of work on repo, but till ome important quetion to anwer... Gottardi, Maurin, Monnet (EUI, EUI, Bern) Repo Rome TV, Feb. 26, / 27

3 Repo: Important iue 1. Repo v. Sale : you could ell the aet pot to obtain fund.! Obtain le cah than with a pot ale if haircut>0... Haircut = pot price - repo price! Commit to a future repurchae price. 3/35

4 Repo: Important iue 1. Repo v. Sale : you could ell the aet pot to obtain fund.! Obtain le cah than with a pot ale if haircut>0... Haircut = pot price - repo price! Commit to a future repurchae price. 2. What determine haircut?! Some empirical evidence that haircut increae with counterparty or aet rik...! but haircut are a puzzle (GM, JFE 2012). 3/35

7 Repo: Some Iue 3. Why repo and not collateralized lending?! Lender acquire ownerhip of the collateral. I Acquiring ownerhip mean you can re-ue the aet!! Allow collateral to circulate (Singh 2010, 2011,..).! Allow agent to intermediate repo: Dealer lend to a Hedge Fund and borrow from a Mutual Fund. Bilateral v. Tri-party egment of the market. 5/35

16 Limited Commitment I Limited commitment: need to ue the aet to trade.! Spot ale or collaterized borrowing. I FB allocation never attainable under pot trade which generate price reelling rik for agent / 35

17 Limited Commitment I Limited commitment: need to ue the aet to trade.! Spot ale or collaterized borrowing. I FB allocation never attainable under pot trade which generate price reelling rik for agent 2. I Agent 2 would purchae the aet in t =1andreellint = 2. I Agent 1 i the only one to hold the aet after t =2 Spot price p 2 () = = MWP of Agent 1! Agent 2 i rik-avere. Dilike the price rik. I Alternatively, you can ue repo. 10 / 35

18 Repurchae contract I Definition: ArepoF = { p()} 2[, ] i an agreement to repurchae the aet at price p() intate of period 2. I Repo F traded competitively at price p F in t = / 35

19 Repurchae contract I Definition: ArepoF = { p()} 2[, ] i an agreement to repurchae the aet at price p() intate of period 2. I Repo F traded competitively at price p F in t = 1. I Sell 1 contract F borrow p F with repayment chedule { p()}.! Amount a F old = collateral pledged. 11 / 35

20 Repurchae contract I Definition: ArepoF = { p()} 2[, ] i an agreement to repurchae the aet at price p() intate of period 2. I Repo F traded competitively at price p F in t = 1. I Sell 1 contract F borrow p F with repayment chedule { p()}.! Amount a F old = collateral pledged. I Default in tate : collateral lo+ penalty p()a F with 2 [0, 1]. No default p()a F apple ( p())a F p() apple (1) I Set of feaible repo: F = {F (1) hold}! No lo of generality in focuing on default free contract. 11 / 35

21 Equilibrium Selection of Repo I We olve for a competitive equilibrium where agent may trade pot and any repo F 2F. I Equilibrium elect the repo contract() that agent actually trade. All contract (even non-traded one) in F are priced in equilibrium. I Gue and Verify : In equilibrium, agent only trade one contract. 12 / 35

22 Conumer Problem I Let F = { p()} be that repo contract. I a i t: pot poition of agent i in period t. a i F : repo poition (period 1). ai F apple 0: eller.

25 Equilibrium Repo: Borrowing v. Hedging Motive p() Borrowing Motive c 2 2 () < c2 2, Hedging Motive c 2 2 () =c2 2, 15 / 35

26 Intuition I Intermediate Region : p() = ( if apple if > I FB allocation c 2 2 () =c2 2, uch that u0 (c 2 2, )= I Feaible repo p ) c2 2 () apple! + a/(). I When apple, hit the no default contraint p() =/(1! Borrowing Motive. ). I When >, you can have c 2 2 () =c2 2,.! Hedging Motive: Flat part in the repo contract. 16 / 35

32 Haircut I The haircut i the di erence between the pot and the repo price: H = p 1 p F = (E[] E[ p()]) p() + 18 / 35

33 Haircut I The haircut i the di erence between the pot and the repo price: H = p 1 p F = (E[] E[ p()]) p() + I Aet i carce = high: can have negative haircut.! Documented for ome ecuritie: on the run treaurie, collateral on pecial (cf. Vayano & Weill 2008). 18 / 35

48 Re-ue and Intermediation I Re-ue alo helpful to intermediate: Cah Cah Hedge Fund Dealer MMF Aet Aet re-ue Repo 1 Repo 2 I Dealer lend on bilateral repo market and borrow on the tri-party repo market. Why doe the Hedge Fund not borrow directly from the MMF. I i jut regulation? I We provide an explanation with di erence in counterparty quality.! Endogenou intermediation through better borrower. 26 / 35

49 Extending the model: 3 agent type I Let u have 2 type 1 agent:! Agent 1L : a0 L = a, L, L v L (c 1, c 2, c 3 )=c 1 + L (c 2 + c 3 )! Agent 1H; a0 H =0, H L, H H: v H (c 1, c 2, c 3 )=c 1 + H (c 2 + c 3 ) 27 / 35

52 Intermediation Equilibrium I 1H more patient, better counterparty: L < H, L < H. Propoition If H L and a apple ā, the only contract traded in equilibrium are : 1. Arepo p LH where 1L borrow from 1H p LH () = L 2. Arepo p H2 where 1H borrow from 2 I Importantly, 1L and 2 do not trade directly but 1H intermediate. Benchmark cae 29 / 35

53 Intermediation Equilibrium: Intuition I Why doe 1L not trade with 2?! He ha the aet and higher gain from trade with 2: u 0 (!) L.! But L i low : cannot pledge much period 1 income. I 1H intermediate for 1L with hi higher borrowing capacity H > L.

61 Definiton : Source ICMA I Repurchae agreement: In a repo, one party ell an aet (uually fixed-income ecuritie) to another party at one price at the tart of the tranaction and commit to repurchae the fungible aet from the econd party at a di erent price at a future date. I Lender Right: In Europe, repo tranfer legal title to collateral from the eller to the buyer by mean of an outright ale. [Under New York law], collateral i pledged but exempted from certain proviion of the US Bankruptcy Code that normally apply to pledge, in particular, the automatic tay on enforcement of collateral in the event of inolvency. In addition, unlike in traditional pledge, the pledgee/buyer in a US repo i given a general right of ue of collateral. Conequently, the reulting right are deemed to be much the ame a thoe achieved by an outright ale. Back to Preentation 35 / 35
