MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
Market risk arises from the potential for market fluctuations in
interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices that may
result in potential reductions in net income. Interest rate risk, a
component of market risk, is the exposure to adverse changes in net
interest income or financial position due to changes in interest rates.
Management considers interest rate risk a prominent market risk in
terms of its potential impact on earnings. Interest rate risk can occur
for any one or more of the following reasons:
 Assets and liabilities may mature or reprice at different times;
 Short-term and long-term market interest rates may change
by different amounts; or
 The expected maturity of various assets or liabilities may
shorten or lengthen as interest rates change.
In addition to the direct impact of interest rate changes on net
interest income, interest rates can indirectly impact earnings through
their effect on loan demand, credit losses, mortgage originations, the
value of servicing rights and other sources of the Bancorp’s
earnings. Stability of the Bancorp’s net income is largely dependent
upon the effective management of interest rate risk. Management
continually reviews the Bancorp’s balance sheet composition and
earnings flows and models the interest rate risk, and possible actions
to reduce this risk, given numerous possible future interest rate
scenarios.
Net Interest Income Simulation Model
The Bancorp utilizes a variety of measurement techniques to
identify and manage its interest rate risk, including the use of an NII
simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to
changing interest rates. The model is based on contractual and
assumed cash flows and repricing characteristics for all of the
Bancorp’s financial instruments and incorporates market-based
assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the
prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities. The model also
includes senior management’s projections of the future volume and
pricing of each of the product lines offered by the Bancorp as well
as other pertinent assumptions. Actual results may differ from these
simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest
rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and
management strategies.
The Bancorp’s Executive ALCO, which includes senior
management representatives and is accountable to the ERM
Committee, monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board
approved policy limits. In addition to the risk management activities
of ALCO, the Bancorp has a Market Risk Management function as
part of ERM that provides independent oversight of market risk
activities. In 2012, the NII and EVE ALCO policy limits were
lowered to reflect the Bancorp’s current risk appetite and due to
significant uncertainty with respect to the economic environment,
market interest rates and balance sheet and deposit pricing
behaviors. The policy limits were updated in conjunction with the
Market Risk Management group and were approved by ALCO.
