Session DescriptionWith continued uncertainty and elevated regulatory expectations,model-risk management has taken on a whole new level ofimportance and at the heart of it all is your ALM modelassumptions. Having defensible assumptions and knowing theimpact of being wrong is critical to ensuring your ALCO makingthe most informed decisions. This session will explore practicalmethods to develop, support, document and stress-test the mostcritical key assumptions that go into your ALM model (most notablyloan prepayments, core deposit pricing and deposit decay rates).

Key Take Aways
• This is NOT about regulatory compliance– Business challenges demand it!
• Effective assumption development will drive strategicthinking and decision-making
• Sensitivity / stress-testing is critical to process
• Consistency across risk measurement process isexpected
• Management and Board understanding is important– don’t ignore it!

An Effective ALM ModelingProcess Should…
• Assess the financial risk position– Short-term / long-term
• Provide understanding of key drivers and contributorsof potential risk– Events or circumstances– Impact of product / funding pricing and mix– optionality / customer behavior– Impact of key assumptions
• Facilitate strategic decision-making– Simulation of “what-if” strategies– Alternative business paths / stress-testing scenarios

Why Are Assumptions MoreCritical Than Ever?
• Increased balance sheet and businesscomplexity
• More risks
• Greater competitive pressure
• Less margin for error

Consequences of BeingWrong Are More Profound
• Financial– Ineffective ALCO– Lost revenue opportunities– Bad decisions / poor financial performance– Restatements– Credit downgrades
• Regulatory– Criticism– Corrective action (i.e. MOU, C&D)
• Legal– SOX compliance, etc.

ALM Software Providers AreTrying To Meet The ChangingNeeds…

…And So Are Some OutsourceSolutions
• Need to know what you have control over– Many providers restrict control/flexibility
• Vendor choice important– Choose carefully / ask questions
• Important: don’t abdicate your responsibility
• …and there are no “industry standards”

How Do We Know if We HaveThe Right Assumptions?
• Truth is…there is no such thing!!!
• Assumptions by their very nature will bewrong
• Important to a) recognize this and b)develop an ongoing development andreview process

Elements of an Effective AssumptionsDevelopment and Support Process
• Ongoing historically-based studies andanalyses– Quantitative AND qualitative
• Establishment of sensitivity / stress-testingframework
• Self validation– Back-testing (actual vs. forecast)
• Independent review

Establishing Sensitivity /Stress-Testing Framework
• Evaluate alternative assumption scenarios– Deposit pricing and sensitivity betas– Behavioral assumptions
• Deposit retention• Loan and investment prepayments
– Product pricing, growth / mix changes– Alternative rates / yield curves
• Compare results to base-case model– NII simulations– Economic valuations– Liquidity forecasts
• Perform with regularity
• Document and discuss results at ALCO

Why Is Stress TestingImportant?
• Identify key strengths and vulnerabilities of balancesheet– Identifies key assumptions that have greatest impact– Quantifies the relative impact of the assumptions
• Emphasizes that results not absolute
• Profound impact on strategy discussions and decisions

“Self Validation”Back Testing (Defined)
• Means different things to different people– Practitioners– Examiners– Auditors– “Quants”
• Simple working definition:

• Means different things to different people– Practitioners– Examiners– Auditors– “Quants”
• Simple working definition:“Using historical data to“Using historical data tovalidate whether a modelvalidate whether a modelhas predictive validity”has predictive validity”
Back Testing Framework• Starts with historical data tracking
– Prepayment activity– Deposit retention– Offering rates, deposit rates, spreads– Balance sheet growth (changes)
• Use of historical activity to support internal discussions– Comparisons of actual activity versus previous assumptions used– Involvement of Lines of Business (LOB) managers– Formal documentation and approval process is ideal– Some organizations will simulate impact of newly proposed assumptions
• Enhanced back-testing activities– Re-processing previous models using actual inputs– Regression/correlation studies– Behavioral studies– Attribution analysis

Self Validation(Back testing)• Compare prior projections vs. actual
results (rolling 90-day look backworks well)
• Review major variances by portfolio /product (drill down as necessary)
• Reconcile within x% of NII
• Monitor historical trends in variances

What Are the KeyAssumptions?
• Behavioral– Prepayment (investment and loans)– Deposit retention/decay and sensitivity
• Financial / Strategic– Investment portfolio structure, level and mix– New loan and deposit composition and pricing– Wholesale funding game plan
• Economic– Rate scenarios– Time horizon

But There Are OtherImportant Assumptions Too…
• Data handling– Aggregation methodology– Problem / missing data management
• Other modeling methodologies– Optionality parameters (call/put logic)– Valuation techniques– Credit/default risk

The Three Most Critical(ALM) Assumptions:
1. Deposit sensitivity / lives
2. Prepayment / refinancing
3. Replacement / new volume

1. Deposit sensitivity / lives

Deposit Assumptions• Description
– Rate changes applied to deposits in various rate scenarios– Decay/retention rates used to project lives of non-maturity
deposits– Estimates of core (non-rate driven) balances
• Impact: moderate to severe– Have greatest impact on results– Most difficult to get “right”
• Assumption sources– Historical deposit studies– Review and discussion with business managers– Discussions and formal approval within ALCO
• Verification methods– Deposit studies– Back-testing– Independent review

Developing Deposit Assumptions• “Core deposit study”
– Internal or externally performed– Many different flavors– Higher cost <> more accurate results– Can provide meaningful information…but– Will not provide answers with any certainty
• Analyzing historical activity can tell you a lot– Balances, rates, # of accounts, open/closed activity– Provides perspective – can serve as reference point
• Should relate quantitative results with qualitative experience– No single right answer - range of possible outcomes– Too many influencing factors– Data can be misleading or skewed by events, product or technology
changes, etc.
• Periodically apply “optimistic” and “pessimistic” alternatives

Prepayment Assumptions• Description
– Curtailment or early payoffs applied to loans and investments
• Impact: low to moderate– Can impact level of projected earnings/value– Risk profile can be altered as well
• Assumption sources– Historical prepayment tracking/studies– Vendor-supplied models (residential)– Secondary market sources (residential, some installment)– Review and discussion with business managers
• Verification Methods– Back-testing– Activity tracking– Third party sources– Independent review

Replacement Assumptions• Description
– Rates and characteristics applied to cash flow replacement andgrowth
• Impact: low to moderate (occasionally severe)– Greatest impact is generally on level of projected earnings– Risk profile can be altered as well– Severity can depend upon type of scenarios (shocks vs. ramps)
• Assumption sources– Historical activity tracking– Review and discussion with business
managers
• Verification Method– Activity tracking– Back-testing (actual vs. forecast)– Independent review

Data Handling Issues• Description
– Assumptions made relative to handling data
• Impact: low to moderate
• Examples– Aggregation of dissimilar products
– Inaccurate contractual cashflow and repricing– Ineffective option handling (i.e. calls, puts, caps, floors)– Misapplied prepayment parameters
– Problem data resolution– Bad or missing data is “scrubbed” into the data prior to import
• Verification Methods– Independent review

The Role of ALCO andThe Board• ALCO/Senior Management
– Responsible for the development and support ofassumptions
– Create appropriate level of processes and controls– Discuss, modify, and approve assumptions regularly
• Board– Delegates oversight to ALCO
BUT– Needs to understand key assumptions and trends!

ALCO Best Practices forAssumption Management
• Document and explain key modeling assumptionsin ALCO package
• Discuss at each meeting• Solicit input from business lines• Periodically run alternatives
– Sensitivity / stress tests– Inform and educate

Start simple!!!
So What Does ThisAll Mean?
• Institutions need to pay closer attention to theassumptions used in the ALM process
• Develop better means to substantiate, verify,test, and communicate
• Increase ALCO and Board awareness andinvolvement
• Make sensitivity and stress-testing afunctional priority
