  • Chapter 5 Role of Cognitive and Other Influences on Rogue Trader
    Chapter 5 Role of Cognitive and Other Influences on Rogue Trader Behaviour: Findings from Case Studies 5.1. Introduction One of the key findings from Chapter 4 was the lack of significant difference in the financial decision-making behaviour of investment professionals compared with retail investors in the survey sample. However, there was a distinctive pattern in the odds ratio in Table 4.5 where investment professionals were seen to be more likely to be affected by behavioural biases when the choices were risky ones. The aim of the discussions and analyses of the selected case studies in this chapter (the qualitative element of the mixed methods approach), therefore, was to investigate the reasons behind the seeming inability or reluctance of investment professionals to ignore the influence of behavioural biases under high risk situations; where their actions could result in either extremely large monetary gains or losses. The discussion in this chapter consisted of three main sections. The first section was a brief account of the events behind five high-profile financial scandals caused by individuals who engaged in unauthorised trading or investment activities on behalf of their financial institutions, or rogue traders as they were popularly known. Section two highlighted some common characteristics of the rogue trading incidents, and section three was an analysis of the behavioural biases and related emotional influences behind the conduct of rogue traders. 132 5.2. Case Studies on Rogue Trading Rogue trading is the term popularly used to describe unauthorised proprietary trading activities by financial market professionals. These trading activities which resulted in significant monetary losses and severe reputational damage to the affected financial institutions more often than not involved transactions in derivative products.

  • The Return of the Rogue
    THE RETURN OF THE ROGUE Kimberly D. Krawiec∗ The “rogue trader”—a famed figure of the 1990s—recently has returned to prominence due largely to two phenomena. First, recent U.S. mortgage market volatility spilled over into stock, commodity, and derivative markets worldwide, causing large financial institution losses and revealing previously hidden unauthorized positions. Second, the rogue trader has gained importance as banks around the world have focused more attention on operational risk in response to regulatory changes prompted by the Basel II Capital Accord. This Article contends that of the many regulatory options available to the Basel Committee for addressing operational risk it arguably chose the worst: an enforced self- regulatory regime unlikely to substantially alter financial institutions’ ability to successfully manage operational risk. That regime also poses the danger of high costs, a false sense of security, and perverse incentives. Particularly with respect to the low-frequency, high-impact events—including rogue trading—that may be the greatest threat to bank stability and soundness, attempts at enforced self- regulation are unlikely to significantly reduce operational risk, because those financial institutions with the highest operational risk are the least likely to credibly assess that risk and set aside adequate capital under a regime of enforced self-regulation. ∗ Professor of Law, University of North Carolina School of Law.

  • Price Discovery During Periods of Stress: Barings, the Kobe Quake and the Nikkei Futures Market*
    Price Discovery during Periods of Stress: Barings, the Kobe Quake and the Nikkei Futures Market* Stephen Brown New York University Onno W. Steenbeek Erasmus University Abstract This paper examines price discovery of Nikkei stock-index futures both on the Osaka Securities Exchange (OSE) and the Singapore International Monetary Exchange (SIMEX), around the Kobe earthquake in January 1995, and the collap- se of Barings bank six weeks later. First, we examine the effect of a shock to the economy on a securities market. We study individual variables and conclude that the above-mentioned events did have a large impact. Volume and volatility rise significantly after both events. Interestingly, the earthquake does not have a large impact on the bid-ask spread on SIMEX, while Barings’ collapse does seem to have an effect. An interesting aspect of this paper is the fact that we investigate a financial product that is traded simultaneously on two markets. Prices on SIMEX are slightly higher throughout the sample, indicating an impact of Leeson’s massive purchases on SIMEX, as well as a perceived absence of systemic risk in the aftermath of Barings’ failure. Second, we examine Leeson’s trading strategy more closely. We find evidence months before the actual collapse, that Leeson could be described as a ‘doubler.’ By continuously doubling his position, he tried to trade his way out of the moun- tain of losses. If you do recognize such a trader, you could take him out of the market sooner, limiting systemic risk. An important aspect of doublers is that their trading strategy produces normally distributed returns with a high mean for an extended period of time, followed by a very bad event.

  • Banking and Bookkeeping
    CHAPTER 10 Banking and Bookkeeping The arguments of lawyers and engineers pass through one another like angry ghosts. — Nick Bohm, Brian Gladman and Ian Brown [201] Computers are not (yet?) capable of being reasonable any more than is a Second Lieutenant. — Casey Schaufler Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain. — JC Friedrich von Schiller 10.1 Introduction Banking systems range from cash machine networks and credit card processing, both online and offline, through high-value interbank money transfer systems, to the back-end bookkeeping systems that keep track of it all and settle up afterwards. There are specialised systems for everything from stock trading to bills of lading; and large companies have internal bookkeep- ing and cash management systems that duplicate many of the functions of abank. Such systems are important for a number of reasons. First, an under- standing of transaction processing is a prerequisite for tackling the broader problems of electronic commerce and fraud. Many dotcom firms fell down badly on elementary bookkeeping; in the rush to raise money and build web sites, traditional business discipline was ignored. The collapse of Enron led to stiffened board-level accountability for internal control; laws such as 313 314 Chapter 10 ■ Banking and Bookkeeping Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley now drive much of the investment in information security. When you propose protection mechanisms to a client, one of the first things you’re likely to be asked is the extent to which they’ll help directors of the company discharge their fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders. Second, bookkeeping was for many years the mainstay of the computer industry, with banking its most intensive application area.

  • Barings Bank and Its Rogue Trader
    CASE STUDY BARINGS BANK AND ITS ROGUE TRADER Barings Bank background: Barings Bank plc was a British bank and previously as a merchant banker it was known as Baring Brothers & Co. It was one of the oldest merchant banks in Britain having been founded in the year 1762. As a bank, it was much respected in the United Kingdom and had a long history of successful merchant banking operations. The bank in fact, maintained close business relationship with British monarchy till its failure in February 1995. It started Barings Securities Ltd. (BSL) in 1984 by acquiring a small stock broking firm Henderson Crosthwaite, with a staff of 15 based in London, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The idea was to take advantage of the stock market boom in 1980. BSL was separately and liberally managed company and proved to be very successful by trading in Japanese equity warrants – kind of bonds sold with warrants, which were exercisable into shares. Encouraged by the success in Asian market, it decided to diversify into the field of derivatives. They considered that making profits through arbitrage was a good opportunity in Asian markets. They therefore established Barings Futures (Singapore) Pte Ltd. (abbreviated as “BFS”) as a subsidiary of Barings Bank. The subsidiary was set up to trade in derivative products on Singapore International Monetary Exchange (SIMEX) in 1986. The subsidiary started its operations in SIMEX from July 1992. The Exchange was trading in futures and options in currencies, equities & commodities. Mr Nicholas (Nick) Leeson, who had earlier been successful in making profits for BSL on currency and stock derivatives – mainly through arbitrage, was promoted and posted in Singapore as the trader in charge of BFS operations on SIMEX.

  • CASE2 Barings Bank 2
    Barings Bank http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barings_Bank History Barings had a long and storied history. In 1802 , it helped finance the Louisiana Purchase , despite the fact that Britain was at war with France , and the sale had the effect of financing Napoleon 's war effort. Technically the United States did not purchase Louisiana from Napoleon. Louisiana was purchased from the Baring brothers and Hope & Co. The payment for the purchase was made in US bonds, which Napoleon sold to Barings at a discount of 87 1/2 per each $100. As a result, Napoleon received only $8,831,250 in cash for Louisiana. Alexander Baring , working for Hope & Co., conferred with the French Director of the Public Treasury François Barbé-Marbois in Paris , went to the United States to pick up the bonds and took them to France. Later daring efforts in underwriting got the firm into serious trouble through overexposure to Argentine and Uruguayan debt, and the bank had to be rescued by a consortium organized by the governor of the Bank of England , William Lidderdale , in the Panic of 1890 . While recovery from this incident was swift, it destroyed the company's former bravado. Its new, restrained manner made it a more appropriate representative of the British establishment, and the company established ties with King George V , beginning a close relationship with the British monarchy that would endure until Barings' collapse. The descendants of the original five male branches of the Baring family were all appointed to the peerage with the titles Baron Revelstoke , Earl of Northbrook , Baron Ashburton , Baron Howick of Glendale and Earl of Cromer .
