Integrierte Banksteuerung

 

Modern bank management is based on three control loops: internal control, external accounting, and regulatory limits. These three control loops open up a wide range of possibilities for methodological design. The book highlights the areas of tension and offers perspectives for integration that aligns with the business model. The various (business model-driven) calculations of interest rate book management, along with their differences and interdependencies, are systematically analyzed; and, building on the VaR resampling method, a concept is presented for systematically integrating stress events into risk measurement.

The starting point is an introduction to the various business models of banks and their integration into an overarching risk governance philosophy, including the risk appetite framework and risk culture. The analysis of the integrability of the three control cycles is conducted using the example of interest rate risk. First, economic interest rate portfolio management is presented, along with its components: return/performance, Value at Risk/scenario analyses, RORAC, and stress testing. The internal control metrics are compared with regulatory requirements and linked to them (in particular the IRRBB). Finally, the economic substance is reflected externally in HGB and IFRS accounting. The standards IDW RS BFA 7 and IDW RS BFA 3 are also addressed. The discussion is rounded off with an outlook on current trends in integrated reporting.

Financial Engineering

Today, it is more important than ever for market participants to know and understand financial engineering. Starting with an introduction to financial mathematics, the course first explains basic symmetric products (fixed- and floating-rate bonds, forward rate agreements, and swaps). Subsequently, using stock options as an example, the various types of options, their valuation components, and option pricing models are presented. These form the foundation for the analysis of structured products with stock options (equity-linked bonds, discount certificates, index-linked bonds).

Furthermore, interest rate options (bond options, caps, floors, collars, and swaptions) are discussed, and building on this, structured products (bonds with single and multiple call options, reverse floaters, leveraged floaters, capped constant maturity swaps). The product range is rounded out with the analysis of convertible bonds and certificates (including guarantee, bonus, and leverage certificates).

Valuation methods based on analytical formulas as well as binomial trees are employed. Furthermore, Monte Carlo simulation is becoming increasingly prevalent, particularly for products with complex payout profiles. The reader is gradually introduced to the various valuation techniques. A new chapter on ethics in financial engineering has also been added.


This book is now available in its seventh, revised, and expanded edition.

Investing Under Uncertainty: Return-Risk Analyses of Investments in the Context of Value-Based Corporate Management

 

Successful investments increase corporate value—failures diminish it! Investments are characterized by high capital commitment and long durations. Once implemented, they can generally only be reversed at high cost. Consequently, an integrated analysis of investment decisions from the perspectives of return and risk is of paramount importance.
 

This book offers a comprehensive and practical insight into modern investment analysis methods and their connections to value-oriented corporate management. The valuation framework is based on the net present value formula, whose central components—the expected cash flows and the risk-adjusted discount rate—are brought to life step by step. First, the discount rate is determined using capital market-oriented models. Subsequently, the external corporate perspective islinkedwith the internal corporate perspective on investment risk (revenue, operational, and financial
risk). Using the WACC and APV approaches as examples, the simple net present value model is expanded into a comprehensive valuation approach. At the same time, the combined valuation of individual investments and entire companies is achieved.

Kommunales Schuldenmanagement 1
Kommunales Schuldenmanagement 2

The current budgetary situation poses major challenges for many municipalities. Professional debt management can help ensure that the diverse municipal tasks continue to be fulfilled in the future.

The topic is particularly demanding and complex with regard to the measurement and management of interest rate risk. The aim of this two-volume compendium is to provide a systematic introduction to the techniques of professional municipal debt management and to offer solution strategies for debt portfolios of varying sizes and complexity. 


The first volume outlines fundamental methods for measuring and managing interest rate risk. The second volume presents both selected derivatives for interest rate hedging and optimization as well as advanced interest rate modeling techniques for valuation and risk measurement. The second volume is rounded out by proposals for a MaRiskKomm, a qualitative risk management system for municipalities.
