department’s responsibilities include identifying,<br />

managing, and monitoring counterparty, interest<br />

rate, liquidity, and operational risk.<br />

Risks are communicated through a monthly risk<br />

report. In compliance with the requirements of<br />

MaRisk, quarterly overall risk reports are also sent<br />

to the members of the Supervisory Board.<br />

Overall bank management is supported by the “VR<br />

Control 5.0” module. Internal reporting that includes<br />

variance analysis and periodic income calculations<br />

optimizes overall bank management to safeguard<br />

earnings.<br />

NF <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>AG</strong> is a trading book institution. Trading<br />

activities are currently limited to money trading<br />

(overnight money and fixed-term deposits).<br />

The <strong>Bank</strong> exclusively uses primary financial instru-<br />

ments customary in banking (receivables, invest-<br />

ments, securities, liabilities) as financial instruments.<br />

These instruments are monitored as part of the<br />

implemented risk management.<br />

Credit Risk<br />

The Group has implemented a procedure for early<br />

identification of potential risks as well as for managing<br />

and monitoring risks in the lending business.<br />

Credit risks are analyzed using the VR Control and<br />

RAN Kredit standard solutions of the Genossenschaftlicher<br />

Verband Nord (GVN).<br />

The RAN Kredit module has significantly improved<br />

delimitation of the loans in the current portfolio,<br />

loans requiring intensive attention, and non-performing<br />

loans. The insights obtained through this<br />

module contribute significantly to improved portfolio<br />

management and earlier risk identification.<br />

The Group uses the rating method developed by BVR<br />

– Bundesverband der Deutschen Volksbanken und<br />

Raiffeisenbanken, Berlin/Bonn, to aid selection in the<br />

lending business. This facilitates a broader diversification<br />

of credit risk.<br />

Continuous checks and regular evaluation of all<br />

loans granted is a vital part of credit risk management.<br />

This requires continual analysis of the factors<br />

affecting the <strong>Bank</strong>’s risk situation and active implementation<br />

of any insights gained. The results of the<br />

analyses are incorporated into the Group’s overall<br />

risk report.<br />

In addition, credit risk management includes up-<br />

dating and documenting all loan approval powers,<br />

monitoring compliance with the policies and organizational<br />

instructions limiting credit risk, as well as<br />

identifying and fighting fraud in the lending business.<br />

In addition to RAN Kredit analysis and other loan<br />

risk management activities, the <strong>Bank</strong> calculates a<br />

credit VaR as part of MaRisk by assigning default<br />

probabilities at a system level to the loan commitments<br />

rated according to BVR I or II and calculating<br />

a credit VaR based on this information.<br />

The Group has not invested in any structured pro-<br />

ducts (credit default swaps, asset-backed securities,<br />

etc.).<br />
