Market Risk - Broader types
Market Risks
Specific RiskThe risk of an individual debtor equity security moving bymore than or less than thegeneral market in day-to-daytrading
General RiskThis risk corresponds to the fraction ofmarket risk associated with the volatilityof positions or a portfolio that can beexplained in terms of general marketfactors

Market Risk Measurement
SensitivitySensitivity ismeasured as thechange in themarket value due tounit change in thevariable.Example:Where market value of aportfolio of bonds changes
by Rs100000 for 1%change in rate of interest,interest rate sensitivity ofthe portfolio isRs100000.It gives us a measure ofrisk associated with theportfolio is vis-a-vischange in rate of interest
DownsidePotential
It captures thepossible lossesignoring profitpotential andintegratessensitivity andvolatility with

VaR
VaR is a risk measurement and managementconcept
It statistically estimates the potential loss in aposition over a given holding position at a givenlevel of certainty due to adverse movement inmarket variables such as interest rates, exchangerates, equity prices or commodity prices.
Mostly used for trading portfolios, and also for strategic balance sheet management

VaR VaR is an estimate of potential loss, always for a given
period, at a given confidence level..Examples:
A VaR of 5p in USD / INR rate for a 30- day period at 95%confidence level means that Rupee is likely to lose 5pin exchange value with 5% probability, or in other
words, Rupee is likely to depreciate by maximum 5p on1.5 days of the period (30*5% ) .
A VaR of Rs. 100,000 at 99% confidence level for oneweek for a investment portfolio of Rs. 1,00,00,000 (1crore) similarly means that the market value of the
portfolio is most likely to drop by maximum Rs.1,00,000 with 1% probability over one week, or , 99%of the time the portfolio will stand at or above itscurrent value.

VaR The Definition
VaR summarizes the predicted maximumloss (or worst loss) over a target horizonwithin a given confidence interval.
Target horizon means the period till whichthe portfolio is held. Ideally, the holding
period should correspond to the longestperiod needed for an orderly (as opposedto a `fire sale) portfolio liquidation.

Three crucial concepts in VaR
Confidencecoefficient
(95%, 99% or99.9%)
Holding period
(period overwhich portfoliois assumed to
be heldconstant).

Value at Risk:For e.g.., a set of portfolio having acurrent value of say Rs.100,000- canbe described to have a daily value atrisk of Rs. 5000- at a 99% confidencelevel, which means there is a 1/100chance of the loss exceeding Rs.5000/- considering no great paradigmshifts in the underlying factors.It is a probability of occurrence andhence is a statistical measure of riskexposure
Value-at-RiskValue-at-Risk is a measure of Market Risk, which measures the
maximum loss in the market value of a portfolio with a givenconfidence
VaR is denominated in units of a currency or as a percentageof portfolio holdings

Features of VaR
JP Morgan popularized VaR in1990s
VaR helps the banks to measurerisks in trading portfolios
VaR actually assigns aProbability of happening of loss
VaR quantifies Market Risk
VaR is Prospective

Advantages of VaRVaR provides an measure of total risk. VaR is usefulfor monitoring and controlling risk within the portfolio.
It is easy to understand and explain the clientele.
It captures an important aspect of risk in a singlenumber
VaR can measure the risk of many types of financial
securities (i.e., stocks, bonds, commodities, foreignexchange, off-balance-sheet derivatives such asfutures, forwards, swaps, and options, and etc.)
It asks the simple question: How bad can things get?

Weaknesses of VaRApproach
Relies on simplifying statistical assumptions like normaldistribution, etc..
Past may not be a good approximation of future - volatilities andcorrelations can change abruptly
VaR captures end-of-day rates and not intra-day rates which is
important for trading
Does not capture event risk

One approach to computing VaR is to assume that the portfoliosreturns are normally distributed. Let the portfolios random rate of
return over a period ofh days be r. Its probability density function is ( )2~ ,r N r

This implies that there is a 5 % probability of a returnless thanand a 1 % probability of a return less than
VaR is usually calculated over a measurement horizon ofa small number of days. For this short horizon, aportfolios standard deviation is typically much greaterthan its expected return. Hence, the practice is to ignore
the expected return and set
If this is done, then we have
VaR(p=5 %, h days) =1.65x x(Portfolio Value)VaR(p=1 %, h days) =2.33x x(Portfolio Value)

An Example:A portfolios 1 day standard deviation is
10%, and its initial value is $1mn.
Then,P = Probabil ity =1%,H = Holding Period = 1 dayS.D = Standard Deviation = 10% = 0.10
VaR(p=1%, h=1 day) = 2.33x(0.10)x1mn= $233,000.

What should be the time horizon (h days) over which tocalculate VaR? If a FI can measure its risk and change itonce a day, a one-day VaR is most useful. This wouldbe relevant when a FIs portfolio consists of liquidsecurities that can be bought or sold quickly.
However, if a FI holds a portfolio of illiquid assets thatcannot be sold quickly, a longer horizon would berelevant. The FI should choose the VaRs h to be thenumber of days over which it could change its portfolio.
If the return on a portfolio is estimated to have a one-daystandard deviation of, then, assuming the portfolioscomposition stays the same over h days, its h-daystandard deviation can be estimated as

Example: A bank holds a $20 m. portfolio of syndicatedloans that would likely take 5 days to arrange for a sale.
The daily standard deviation of the portfolios value is
0.3 %. Therefore,
Suppose a portfolio consists ofn different assets. Itsstandard deviation depends on the standard deviationsand correlations of the individual assets composing theportfolio.
Let i be the proportion of the portfolios total valuethat is invested in asset i, and let i asset is standard
deviation of return. Further, let ij be the correlationbetween the returns on asset i and assetj. Then, theportfolio returns variance is

Then, the portfolio returns standard deviation is
If the three-asset portfolio was initially worth $50m, then, forexample,
VaR(p=5%, h days) =1.65x0.188 x$50 m = $15.5 m.
Under the approach outlined thus far, implementing VaR fora portfolio of many different assets requires estimates ofeach asset returns standard deviation and the correlationsbetween all of the assets returns.
A consulting firm, RiskMetrics, provides daily estimatesof standard deviations and correlations for different types ofassets in many different countries. Of course, an individualFI could compute these estimates on its own usinghistorical data.

The historic or back simulation approach uses thehistorical returns on the individual assets contained inthe FIs current portfolio.
It then simulates what would have been the losses onthe current portfolio if this portfolio had been heldduring the historical period, say the last 250 or 500trading days.
Specifically, this approach involves the followingsteps:

1.Consider each of the asset/liability positions in the FIs current portfolio.
Suppose, as before, that there are n different assets and i is theproport ion of the port fol ios total value that is invested in asset i.Obtaindata on the returns of these assets and liabilities for, say, the last500 trading days.
2.Let rit is the return on asset/liability i on prior day t. Then if the portfoliohad been held on that day, its return would have been
3 Next, rank the port folio returns, Rt, for previous t = 1, , 500 daysfrom the lowest return to the highest. Let R5 be the fifth worstreturn over the last 500 days and let R25 be the 25

the last 500 days. Most likely, both of these returns are negative(losses).

A similar procedure using historical returns over, say,h=5 day intervals could be used to calculate
VaR(p, h=5 days).
The advantage of this historical simulation approach is that ituses the sample frequency (histogram) of actual returns.There is evidence that empirical distributions of asset returns
display large losses more frequently than would be predictedby the thin-tailed normal distribution, and the back simulationmethod could account for this.
One disadvantage is that the historical period may not berepresentative of the near future. It may have been anunusually quiet (low volatility) period, and volatility is now likelyto be greater. One correction for this is to give more recentobservations a greater weight.

VaR is the basis for setting minimum capital (net worth) requirements
for large international banks.
In 1996, an amendment to the 1988 Basel Capital Accord created arule for bank capital requirements to cover their liquid securities (non-loan) portfolios, so-called trading accounts:
Required capital for day t+1 =
where SRt
is additional capital to cover idiosyncratic risks. Theterms in brackets are the banks current VaR estimate and anaverage of VaR estimates over the last 60 days.
The multiplier St depends on the accuracy of the banks VaR model.

St is computed by back-testingthe banks VaR model estimates overthe last 250 days. If the banks daily trading portfolio losses
exceeded VaR(p=1%, h= 1 day) on x days over the last 250 days,
then
Thus, a bank with a less accurate internal VaR model has ahigher multiplier, St , and must have more capital .

HistoricalSimulationMethod
1. Focuses more on the historicalaspects of the financial instruments
2. It considers the actual historical ratesand revalues the positions for eachchange in the market
3. It calculates the change in the value
of a position using the actualhistorical movements of theunderlying asset(s) but starting formthe current value of the asset
4. It does not need a variance /covariance matrix.
5. No need to make any explicitassumptions

MonteCarloSimulation
1. Relies on estimation of VaR by
simulating random scenarios andrevaluing positions in the portfolio
2. It is appropriate for both linear andnon- linear derivative instruments.
3. It calculates the change in the valueof a of a portfolio using a sample ofrandomly generated price structures,correlations between risk factors andthe volatility of these factors.
4. There is a need to make certainassumptions about the marketstructures.

Market Risk: Standardized Approach
1. Two alternative approaches
1. Standardized Approach
2. Internal Rating Based (IRB) Approach
2. Standardized Approach
5 distinct sources of market risk are identified viz., interest raterisk, equity position risk, forex risk, commodities risk, optionstrading risk.
3. Illustration of capital charges for interest rate risk
1. Specific interest rate risk (adverse movements in theprice of an individual security owing to factors related toindividual issues)
2. General r isk (arising from movements in market interest
rates).4. Specific interest rate risk.
Three types of securities1. Government
2. Qualifying (securit ies of multi lateral development banks, PSEs,securit ies rated as investment grade by at least 2 rating agencies)
3. Others.

Market Risk: IRB Approach
1. Concept of Value-at-Risk (VaR)
2. Three crucial concepts in a VaR
(i) Confidence coefficient (95%, 99% or 99.9%)
(ii) Historical period used for estimating VaR model
(iii) Holding period (period over which portfolio is assumed to beheld constant).
A VaR estimate is simply an appropriate percent ile of the banksportfolio loss distr ibution, e.g., If 99% VaR estimate of a bank is Rs.50lakhs, it means that there is only 1% chance that the banks portfolioloss will exceed Rs.50 lakhs.
Basel II proposes a confidence coeffic ient of 99%, a holding period of 10 daysand a historical observation period of at least 1 year.
Capital Requirement (Daily) = Max {Previous day VaR estimate; (Average of VaRof preceding 60 working days) x m}
m (multipl ication factor) = 3 + Minimum value of = 0 (bank performance good)Maximum value of = 1 (poor bank performance)

Risk Monitoring & Control
Risk Monitoring and Control calls for
implementation of risk and business policiessimultaneously. This is achieved through thefollowing:
1. Policy guidelines limiting roles and authority
2. Limits structure and approval process3. System and procedures to unbundle products
and transactions to capture all r isks
4. Guidelines on portfolio size and mix
5. Defined policy for market to market6. Limit monitoring and reporting
7. Performance Measurement and Resourceallocation
