Résumé
The transformation of deposits into loans generates a return but engender financial risks, and particularly an interest rate risk. However, the Basel II Committee does not provide any standardized method to manage this crucial risk. The arbitrage of the bank between net interest margin and volatility is function of its utility. Thus, we adapt the Markowitz portfolio selection theory on the banking and more particularly the commercial balance-sheet. We test this model on the Crédit Foncier de Monaco and find that this tool maximizes under constraints the risk-adjusted performance and determines the optimal allocation of the assets; we compare then the theoretical objectives with the actual results.
