Episode notes
Understanding Gap Risk
- Gap risk arises from mismatched timing between assets and liabilities in banks.
- Rising interest rates increase funding costs faster than asset returns, hurting profits.
The Challenge of Basis Risk
- Basis risk happens when assets and liabilities are priced on different interest rate indices.
- Differing movements in these indices create risk even if durations match.
NII vs EVE Metrics
- Net interest income (NII) measures nominal cash inflows minus outflows over 1-5 years.
- Economic value of equity (EVE) discounts all future cash flows, giving a present value balance sheet snapshot.
