  13. Discussion outline • Key trends and requirements • Best practices and practical applications • ERM in the future

  14. The role of a chief risk officer • Establish an ERM framework – policies, processes, and systems • Manage risk interdependencies and aggregations • Provide risk transparency to key stakeholders • Ensure company practices meet or exceed regulatory requirements • Balance business and risk requirements, and avoid “irrational exuberance” • Optimize risk/return by integrating ERM into strategic planning and day-to-day business processes • Attract, retain, and develop talented risk professionals

Risk Analytics Develop advanced analytical tools Integrate data and system capabilities 7. Stakeholders Management Improve risk transparency for key stakeholders An ERM framework should encompass seven key building blocks

  16. The enterprise risk management process Risk Identification and Assessment Risk Measurement and Reporting Risk Mitigation and Management ERM Foundations • Top-down assessments • Barriers to strategic and financial goals • Executive team CSAs • Bottom-up assessments • Barriers to business, customer, and product goals • Business unit CSAs • Functional unit CSAs • Independent assessments • Internal audit • External audit • Regulators • Customers • Other stakeholders • Senior management and board participation (“tone from the top”) • Governance structure • Resource allocation • Culture, principles, and values • ERM framework and policies • Linkage to strategy, performance measurement and incentives • Organizational learning • ERM dashboard • Earnings volatility • Key risk metrics • Policy compliance • Real-time event escalation • Drill-down capabilities • Scenario analysis • Historical • Managerial • Simulation-based • Disclosure • Board reporting • External reporting • Policy enforcement • Value-based growth and restructuring strategies • Risk transfer strategies • Contingency planning and testing • Event and crisis management

Characteristics and sources of effective key risk indicators 1 7 4 Track in time series against standards or limits 6 Be useful – support business decisions and actions Reflect objective measurement Balance of leading and lagging indicators 9 Timely and cost effective 8 5 • Incorporate risk drivers: • Exposure • Probability • Severity • Correlation Can be benchmarked internally or externally 2 Tie to objectives, risk owners, and risk categories 10 Simplify risk without being simplistic Key Risk Indicators 3 Be quantifiable – $, %, # Strategies/ Objectives Regulations & Policies Losses & Incidents Stakeholder Requirements • Actual losses • Incidents • Industry data • Business plans • Management goals • Performance metrics • Legal requirements • Regulatory standards • Policy limits • Customers • Vendors • Other

  18. ERM Dashboard BUSINESS RISK CREDIT RISK MARKET RISK OPERA-TIONAL RISK RISK “PILLARS” Data Mining Internal and External Data An ERM dashboard provides an integrated view of all risks, with drill-down capabilities • Basic ERM applications: • Executive reporting • Key risk indicators • Loss/incident tracking • Control self assessments • Early warning indicators • Risk mitigation projects tracking • ERM content management • Advanced ERM applications: • Risk transfer • Economic capital • Scenario analysis • Shareholder value management

  19. An ERM dashboard should address five key questions for senior management • Are any of our strategic, business, and financial objectives at risk? • Are we in compliance with policies, limits, laws, and regulations? • What risk incidents have been escalated by our risk functions and business units? • What key risk indicators and trends that require immediate attention? • What are the risk assessments that we should review?

  20. Background 3-Year ERM Program • $1 trillion of assets under management • Private company • Decentralized business culture • Organized Global Risk Forum • Implemented annual Global Risk Review • Automated loss accounting • Developed ERM framework • Implemented intranet-based Global Risk MIS • Experienced significant reduction in loss ratio Case study:

  21. Basic risk management processes can lead to significant improvements Education • New associates • Management • Business/Operational processes • Best practices • Lessons learned Actual Loss Experience Risk Event Log 85% Decline Root Controls Event Loss Needed Causes Risk Metrics Goal MAP

  24. Economic capital underpins risk-based profitability measurement and pricing Calculate ROE Calculate Pricing Exposure $100 mm $100 mm Margin 2.50% 2.20% Revenue $2.5 mm $2.2 mm Risk Losses <0.5 mm> <0.5 mm> Expense <1.0 mm> <1.0 mm> Pre-Tax Net Income $1.0 mm $0.7 mm Tax <0.4 mm> <0.3 mm> Net Income $0.6 mm $0.4 mm Economic Capital $2.0 mm $2.0 mm RAROC 30% 20%
