the alco decides to increase winthrop bank's credit standards for loans although winthrop bank's overall risk tolerance is unchanged.
evaluate how this affect the bank's risk-taking ability作者: Analti_Calte 时间: 2011-7-13 13:29
decrease the default risk because standards are improved and improve bank's surplus/decrease liquidity as small reserve can be maintained now作者: Unforseen 时间: 2011-7-13 13:29
higher credit standards will result in lower net interest margin, so lower profitability ..reduced ability to take risk作者: ll11 时间: 2011-7-13 13:29
CFAI answer: winthrop bank should have more leeway to invest in below-investment-quality debt in its bond portfolio as a result.作者: bkballa 时间: 2011-7-13 13:29
I would agree with that. If you assume that "increase credit standards" means that the risk profile of their loan profile improves (i.e. they are less risky), it would enable the bank to take more risk in the investment portfolio. The loan portfolio and investment portfolio would balance each other out, and the overall risk would be unchanged.作者: NakedPuts2011 时间: 2011-7-13 13:29
ability to take risk would increase because we are only looking at the investment portfolio when we are doing the IPS. The rest of the balance sheet is just a given.
The bank's overall risk tolerance is unchanged (aka willingness to take risk), which is fine, because overall we haven't done anything to increase the overall risk. Think of it as moving risk from one bucket to the other (out of loan portfolio, into investment portfolio)作者: lcw77 时间: 2011-7-13 13:29

+1.....I remember that there is no such willingness to take risk for institution...just ability
