There was a general increase in the Bank’s portfolio of both assets and liabilities for the year ending December 31, 2010 when compared to the previous comparative period. This was mainly attributed to increases in the Bank’s loans and advances, investment securities and customer deposits.
Assets for the year ending December 31, 2010 increased by $240,359 (29.22%) when compared to the previous year and this was primarily due to increases in Loans and Advance and Investment Securities which were $127,732 (29.41%) and $101,654 (39.97%) respectively. Although there was an increase in the Loans and Advance figure, General Loan Loss Reserve also increased by $1,261 (63.40%). Included in the Investment Securities are USD investments totaling $70 million and this represents 19.66% of the total investment portfolio. Liabilities increased by $214,000 (31.47%) for the comparable periods. The Bank’s debt to equity ratio moved from 4.77 to 5.29 from December 31, 2009 to 2010 indicating the additional loans and investments and deposits obtained in 2010. A comparison the Bank’s current ratio doubled from 1.08 in 2009 to 2.11 in 2010 reflecting an increased liquidity position.
These analyses also demonstrate a greater appetite for Bank T & T Ltd.
Capital Management
Bank T & T limited’s objective is to continue operating as a going concern and as such when managing capital would be required:-
• To comply with the capital requirement set by the regulators under the Financial Institutions Act (2008);
• To safeguard the their ability to operate as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders;
• To ensure that they can remain solvent during periods of adverse earnings or economic decline; and
• To ensure that they are adequately capitalised to cushion depositors and other creditors against losses.
Capital adequacy and the use of the regulatory capital are monitored monthly by the ALCO Committee via various techniques and strategies which were designed by the Bank to comply with the Financial Institutions Act 2008 regulations.
The Central Bank of Trinidad & Tobago requires each financial institution to:-
• Maintain a ratio of total capital to risk adjusted assets of not less than the minimum standard of 8%.
• Core capital must not be less than fifty percent (50%) of total capital i.e. supplementary capital must not exceed core capital.
The Bank’s regulatory capital is managed by:
• Tier 1 (Core) Capital: - share capital, retained earnings and reserves created by appropriations of retained earnings.
• Tier 2 (Supplementary) Capital – qualifying subordinated loan capital, general loan loss reserve, impairment allowances and unrealised gains arising on the fair valuation of equity instruments.
2010 2009
$’000 $’000
Tier 1 (Core) Capital
Share capital 140,523 120,708
Statutory reserve 6,950 5,467
Retained earnings 18,200 14,400
Total Tier 1 Capital 165,673 140,575
Tier 2 (Supplementary) Capital
General Loan Loss Reserve 3,250 1,989
Total Tier 2 Capital 3,250 1,989_

Total Capital 168,923 142,564

Ratios
Risk adjusted assets (RAA) 661,200 511,137
Total capital to RAA 25.55% 27.89%
Core capital to RAA 25.06% 27.50%

Based on the above, Bank T & T Limited has adequately provided for their capital requirements so as to ensure the continued operations of the organization. The capital adequacy ratio measures the amount of a bank’s capital in relation to the amount of its risk weighted credit exposures.
The Total capital to RAA, although decreased between 2010 and 2009, is way above the minimum and current reserve requirement and the Bank may be foregoing other investments opportunities by holding such a high capital position This is quite likely the main reason they are attempting to fund new asset growth and change the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO). This also contributes to the assumption that Bank T & T Limited appears to be a risk adverse institution. Core capital is way above the obligatory 50% however there has been a decrease from 27.50% in 2009 to 25.06% in 2010. This position is still way within the required margin but ALCO should continue to monitor this on an ongoing basis.
Scenario 3 – March 9th, 2011
The Central Bank has just advised of that they will be floating a new 20 year bond (GOTT 2031 Fixed Rate, Coupon 6.25%) for the completion of the Solomon Hochoy highway extension project. Total issue size is TTD1 billion.
Suggestion
The Bank’s investment portfolio as at December 31, 2010 includes a 20 year gov’t fixed rate bond, coupon 5.875% that has 17 years remaining to maturity. This bond would have been purchased at a discount which means that the yield to maturity would be more than 5.875%. On March 09, 2011 the bond had a coupon rate of 6.60% and a market price of $106.92, therefore the market value of the portfolio would have been improved. Based on a comparison of the government yield curve, there was an upward trend, which suggests that return on the portfolio would be increased upon maturity. The new gov’t instrument had a coupon rate of 6.80% as at March 09, 2011 and given the upward rising of the yield curve, it appears that a 20 year tenor would also give an increased average market yield and therefore has the potential to increase the return on the total portfolio. Whilst the security is government and the instrument is risk free a liquidity risk position could arise.
The existing Government Bond represents 17% of the total investment portfolio. If the Bank chooses to invest in another 20 year bond at $1 billion the total portfolio value would be increased to $1,356M and total bonds would represent 78% of the revised investment portfolio. In order to remain profitable or liquid, the bank would have to obtain a comparable liability (deposit). Additionally, based on the current liquidity condition of the Bank, sales on the secondary market may not be easily available. If the Bank experiences liquidity problems and needs to sell the Bond, they may have problems doing so as the bonds would be trading at a premium which means that the yield to maturity would be smaller. With these fluctuating interest rates based on the market prices, a risk may arise. Since the interest rates are rising during the 20 year period the total return on the portfolio of the bank would be affected as the yield to maturity would decrease. If however interest rates fall, the Bank would be at an advantage, since it would have a higher yielding security in its books than the market securities currently being offered.
If Bank T & T Ltd purchases the $1 Billion Bond and the reserve ratio is 17%, they would be required to keep $170 Million on hand and they would have be able to lend out $830 Million. This may be a challenge particularly if there is a sudden surge in deposit withdrawals. A liquidity risk would therefore arise. Additionally the Bank currently does not have sufficient funding to purchase the government instrument. Therefore, on the basis of the foregoing, Bank T & T Ltd should not purchase the 20 year GOTT 2031 Fixed Rate, Coupon 6.25%.

In my suggestion, the management of the banking firm relies on a position limits and rules to implement a risk management system. On the whole, these tools are established to limit individual positions to acceptable levels, measure exposure, encourage decision makers, and define procedures to manage these exposures to manage risk in a pattern that is constant with the firm's objectives and goals. The use of position limits and rules for internal control of active management in minimum standards for participation. In the latter, those banks' counterparties or assets that once pass some prespecified quality standard just can take the domain of risk. There some limits are imposed to cover exposures to overall position concentrations, counterparties, and credits that relative to different types of risks, even that are eligible for those investments. As a whole organization and any one individual can be assumed their imposition restricts the risk, although the limits are expensive to administer and establish. The general case, each portfolio managers, lenders, and traders must have well-defined limit in commit capital. For example, Volcker Rule. What is Volcker Rule?

Audit Chapter 15 Solutions

...CHAPTER 15 Debt and Equity Capital Review Questions 15–1 A trust indenture is drawn to protect the position of bondholders by imposing restrictions upon the borrowing corporation. One of the most common of these restrictions is that the company must not declare dividends that would cause the working capital to fall below a specified amount. An overly generous dividend policy could leave the company so short of cash as to endanger the position of bondholders. 15–2 Restrictions commonly imposed on a borrowing company by long-term creditors relate to (a) dividend payments, (b) acquisition of property and equipment, (c) increases in managerial compensation and (d) acquisition of additional debt. Such actions are usually permitted only if they will not reduce the current ratio and amount of working capital below specified levels, or increase the debt to equity ratio above a specified level. Creation of a sinking fund is another common requirement designed to assure that cash will be available to pay the long-term debt at maturity. 15–3 The trustee protects the interests of the bondholders by accounting for the issuance and redemption of bond certificates, determining that provisions of the borrowing agreement are observed by the corporation, and reporting periodically on the amount of the liability and of any related sinking fund. This work by the trustee leaves little opportunity for either error or fraud in the issuance, servicing, or redemption of bonds...

Wrigley

...Case Study: Wrigley Jr. Company – Capital Structure Case Problem: The managing partner of Aurora Borealis LLC, a hedge fund that strategized to focus on distressed companies, asked an associate to initiate the research for a potential investment in Wrigley. Aurora specialized in finding opportunities for corporate restructures, to invest significantly in the stock of the target firm and then persuade management to restructure. They noted that Wrigley had about $13.1 billion in common equity and did not have any debt on their balance sheet. Chandler was asked to perform an analysis to support the assumption that Wrigley can borrow $3 billion at a credit rating of BB to B, to yield 13%. Over the last few years, Wrigley has had revenue growth at an annual compound rate of 10% (earnings at 9%) which reflected the introduction of new products and foreign expansion. The firm has always been conservatively financed and had stock that was outperforming the S&P 500 composite index. The proposed leverage recapitalization would have Wrigley borrow $3 billion and use it to pay an equivalent dividend or repurchase an equivalent value of shares. This could increase the value of the firm by shielding the cash flows from taxes. An additional assumption is the debt rating for Wrigley, after they assume the debt would they be able to manage the interest payments. How does Chandler know that a rating of BB/B would be likely. Additionally, Chandler knew that the maximum value...
