Distance to compliance portfolios: An integrated shortfall measure for basel Ⅲ

摘要

We propose measuring a bank's distance to compliance with Basel III using a portfolio that makes the bank compliant. This "Distance to Compliance" portfolio describes an implementable strategy and incorporates the interactions of all Basel III ratios. We derive the portfolio in a microeconomic banking model in which the board decides on the regulatory target levels and bears the responsibility in case the bank fails to meet the regulatory requirements in a stress situation.
