Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the effects of a bank's engagement in trading. Traditional banking is relationship-based: not scalable, long-term oriented, with high implicit capital, and low risk (thanks to the law of large numbers). Trading is transactions-based: scalable, shortterm, capital constrained, and with the ability to generate risk from concentrated positions. When a bank engages in trading, it can use its ‘spare’ capital to profitablity expand the scale of trading. However, there are two inefficiencies. A bank may allocate too much capital to trading ex-post, compromising the incentives to build relationships ex-ante. And a bank may use trading for risk-shifting. Financial development augments the scalability of trading, which initially benefits conglomeration, but beyond some point inefficiencies dominate. The deepending of the financial markets in recent decades leads trading in banks to become increasingly risky, so that problems in managing and regulating trading in banks will persist for the foreseeable future. The analysis has implications for capital regulation, subsidiarization, and scope and scale restrictions in banking.

Download or read book Banking and Trading written by Arnoud W. A. Boot and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the interaction between relationship banking and short-term, scalable arm's length finance which we call trading. Relationship banking is not scalable, has high franchise value, is long-term oriented and low risk. Trading is transaction-based: scalable, with lower margins (capital constrained), short-term, and more prone to risk shifting. When a bank engages in trading, it can use its franchise value to expand the scale of trading. However there are two inefficiencies. We show that a bank may allocate too much capital to trading ex post, compromising the ability to build relationships ex ante. And a bank may use trading for risk shifting. Financial innovation and the deepening of financial markets have pushed much of arm's length finance into the realm of trading by improving the marketability of assets. While combining relationship banking and trading offers some benefits at a low scale of trading, the unbridled growth of trading opportunities is distortive. The analysis offers insights into bank business models and helps assess recent initiatives aimed at structural reforms in banking.
