This course is run in conjunction with a Bank Capital, Asset, Liability and Liquidity Simulation. The simulation allows for participants, in small groups to build a bank, choosing core tier 1 capital levels and innovative capital instrument issuance. They will then select assets from various categories including government bonds, corporate loans, repo, loans to banks, residential mortgages, credit cards, auto loans and personal loans. Once asset selection has been completed they will fund their banks from a range of liabilities including bond issues, market and non market deposits, repo, retail and corporate current accounts and securitisations. Once the bank has been constructed participants will look at the various metrics which are used to evaluate risk and performance such as regulatory capital ratios, return ratios and stress tests and bring their own metrics to suitable levels. The bank ratios will be compared by the participants to see what strengths and weaknesses each bank has. The simulations will be run over four quarters in changing economic environments to observe the performance of each bank from a risk and profitability perspective. During the simulation participants will have the opportunity to adjust their asset and liability mix.
