The model in RiskFrontier treats regulatory capital charges as a binding constraint that reduces profitability, and produces a series of unified metrics that quantify their impact. These metrics allow institutions to rank-order the instruments in their portfolio, as well as new deals, while simultaneously accounting for economic risks and regulatory charges.
Amnon Levy, head of portfolio research at Moody’s Analytics, said: "As banks continue to respond to the capital regulations proposed under Basel III, they face the challenge of reconciling their regulatory requirements with their existing economic capital infrastructure. Our new model provides a practical and theoretically sound approach for evaluating both information sources as part of the decision-making process."
RiskFrontier 3.4 also introduces Risk Driver Analysis, which provides transparency into variables that have the greatest impact on a portfolio’s risk. This helps users to measure the incremental impact of individual risk drivers on portfolio results.
Chris Shayne, head of portfolio products at Moody’s Analytics, said: "The addition of Risk Driver Analysis was a natural next step for RiskFrontier. We have seen demand for a way to automate the risk attribution process, and this feature allows our clients to efficiently and accurately measure the impact of key risk factors."
