INTERMEDIATE DERIVATIVE ANALYTICS CUNA CFO Conference May 19, 2015 Presented by: Emily Moré Hollis, CFA Founding Partner
Agenda Derivative terms and definitions Derivative process and analytics Identification of risk and key rate durations Accounting requirements Back office 2
Are My Identified Risks: Hedgeable, Diversifiable or Unhedgeable? Are we hedging for a disaster or day to day operations? Be careful when constructing disaster hedges it may be too late when they finally pay off! Also, don t define risks too narrowly building hedging strategies solely around regulatory definitions of economic value sensitivity would be remiss Some risks should simply be diversified that s why we have a balance sheet credit risk + other idiosyncratic risks Understanding unhedgeable risk and basis risk is very important when evaluating hedge performance 3
Can We Measure The Basis Risk And Is It Reasonable? Most interest rate swaps and caps that you will consider for hedging are LIBOR-based Many assets and liabilities that are hedged are not Basis risk is the risk that arises between hedges and hedged items when their market value changes are based on different underlying drivers Example: I grow #1 grade corn and hedge it in the futures market with a corn contract that is based on #2 grade corn I have hedged my corn crop, but still have basis risk between the valuation of my #1 grade and the market s valuation of #2 grade Hedging mortgages with interest rate swaps hedges interest rates and swap spreads (LIBOR/Treasury spreads), but it doesn t hedge mortgage spreads to swaps 4
Key Terms and Definitions Interest rate swap an agreement between two parties, where a stream of interest payments is exchanged for another based on a specified notional amount Interest rate cap an agreement in which payments are made when the reference exceeds the strike rate Notional principal amount the principal amount that the interest payments in an interest rate swap are based Fixed rate the rate that a party agrees to pay in swap, this rate remains the same for the life of the swap Floating rate the rate that a party agrees to pay, this rate is tied to an index and resets throughout the life of the swap 5
Key Terms and Definitions (continued..) Underlying index the rate that the floating leg of a swap is tied to Strike the rate at which the reference rate is compared to Maturity the length of time until the swap or cap expires Reset frequency how often the floating rate changes Payment frequency how often payments are made Day count convention a convention for determining the number of days between two dates and the number of days in a year 6
Key Terms and Definitions (continued..) Duration Measures the sensitivity of a bonds price to changes in interest rates, taking into account that expected cash flows will change as rates change Convexity Measures how the duration of a bond changes as interest rates change Repricing risk Risk associated with liabilities and assets having different fixed terms. i.e. long term assets funded with short term liabilities. As rates rise margins will compress, as liabilities reset higher. Net Economic Value (NEV) The economic value of capital as measured by netting the economic value of assets against the economic value of liabilities 7
Key Terms and Definitions (continued..) NEV Sensitivity The volatility in the net economic value of capital. Interest Rate Risk Risk to earnings or market value due to uncertain interest rates. Basis Risk - Risk that offsetting segments of a hedging strategy will not experience price changes in equal amounts. This imperfect correlation creates the potential for excess gains or losses Idiosyncratic Risk Risk that is specific to an asset or a small group of assets. 8
DERIVATIVE PROCESS AND ANALYTICS 9
Derivative Analytics Interest rate swaps receive periodic payments based on all LIBOR rates until maturity Interest rate caps only receive payments when LIBOR is above the strike A zero strike cap and a swap are economically the same the user just pays for them differently 10
Derivative Analytics The valuation of interest rate swaps is relatively simple, one only needs a forward curve to determine the fair value. Interest rate caps are more complex and require more analytically rigorous models as there are more moving parts; like volatility and time 11
IDENTIFICATION OF RISK AND KEY RATE DURATION ANALYTICS 12
Swap Notional Amount of $10,000,000 Purchase $10 million of seven year interest rate swap: Pay 1.50% in today s market for seven years Receive one month LIBOR at 0.25%. The expense is a 125 basis point effect on the trade, so dollar for dollar hedged 4.00% mortgages will be yielding a net 2.75%. (4.00% - 1.25%) Should rates rise by 300 basis points, the swaps will gain $1.558 million 13
Cap Notional Amount of $10,000,000 Purchase $10 million of 3% seven year out-of-the-money caps: Assume cost of the cap is $604 800, an expense of $50,400 per year. This cost is the CU s maximum exposure. The expense is a 60 basis point effect on the trade, so dollar for dollar hedged 4.00% mortgages will be yielding a net 3.40%. (4.00% - 0.60%) Should rates rise by 300 basis points, the caps will gain $1.012 million 14
Derivative Income Comparison Income Sample Swap vs. Cap 10,000,000 Credit Union Asset 500,000,000 7 Year Swap 1.50% 7 Year Cap, Strike of 3.00% Cap starts generating income when LIBOR is greater than 3.00%. -200-100 0 100 200 300 400 Cap Income - - - - - 25,000 125,000 Cap Expense - (50,400) (50,400) (50,400) (50,400) (50,400) (50,400) Net Cap Income - (50,400) (50,400) (50,400) (50,400) (25,400) 74,600 Swap Income (150,000) (150,000) (125,000) (25,000) 75,000 175,000 275,000 Swap starts generating income when LIBOR is greater than 1.50%. Up 200 swap earns 75 bps (2.25%-1.50%). 15

Identification of Risk Process Credit union owns $20mm of fixed mortgages Identify loans that have the most advantageous characteristics to hedge away Individual loan characteristics determine the amount of interest rate risk which needs to be hedged Run loans at the record level to depict an accurate effective duration profile Calculate key rate durations of the pool to determine mortgage pool sensitivity to each point along the yield curve Build hedge ratios 17
Key Rate Duration Yield curves rarely move in parallel fashion Key rate durations identify sensitivity of portfolio to each point on the yield curve Portfolios are more sensitive to some portions of the yield curve than others 2 main strategies using key rate duration Position portfolio at specific points on the yield curve to take advantage of shape / shift changes Extinguish a liability with your investments 18
Key Rate Duration Key rate durations are computed by decreasing and increasing each individual key spot rate by some number of basis points (e.g., up or down 50bps) and re-computing the asset s (or liability s) price given that shift, holding all other spot rates along the term structure constant. The average percentage change in the asset s value resulting from a given pair of these up and down key rate shifts is its key rate duration for that point on the curve. The sum of these partial durations is the asset s overall effective duration. 19
