The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book: Implications for Portfolio and Risk Management in the Banking Sector
研究了交易账簿根本性审查(FRTB)引入的损益归因测试和回测对银行风险模型选择与投资组合构建的影响,发现前者要求与风险因子高度对齐,而后者未激励使用更优模型。
Abstract The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) is the promised overhaul of bankmarket risk regulation. FRTB retains the authorized use of proprietary risk models, however, it introduces two additional criteria: (i) P&L attribution (PLA) tests and (ii) desk‐level backtests. We examine empirically whether these additional criteria influence risk management and portfolio management practice, specifically portfolio construction and choice of risk model. We find that the PLA tests demand significant alignment with risk factors, however, the backtests do not incentivize use of superior risk models. This has important implications for the efficacy of the capital‐based regulatory system.
