CORPORATE FINANCIALS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Basel II Pillar 3 Disclosures
for the financial year ended 30 June 2019

4. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(B) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in financial instruments or the balance sheet due to adverse movements in market factors
such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equities, spreads, volatilities and/or correlations.

The Bank adopts a systematic approach in managing such risks by types of instruments and nature of exposure. Market
risk is primarily controlled via a series of cut-loss limits and potential loss limits, i.e. Value at Risk (“VaR”). The amount
of market risk that the Bank is prepared to take for each financial year is based on the budget, business direction, its
risk-taking strategies, the impact on earnings and capital utilisation. These factors are used as a basis for setting market
risk limits for the Group and the Bank.

Market risk limits, the monitoring and escalation processes, delegation of authority, model validation and valuation
methodologies are built into the Bank’s market risk policies, which are reviewed and concurred by the Group Asset and
Liability Management Committee (“Group ALCO”), endorsed by the BRMC and approved by the Board.

The main market risk limits are stop loss limits, VaR limits, counterparty limits, sensitivity limits, position/instrument limits
and holding period limits.

VaR is defined as the maximum loss at a specific confidence level over a specified period of time under normal market
conditions. The Bank computes the Historical Simulation VaR on a daily basis based on the recent 250-days of market
observations at a 99.0% confidence level.

Over the course of the financial year, the VaR of the banking groupʼs trading book ranged between RM5.2 million to RM12.6
million with an average of RM8.6 million.

The Bank performs backtesting on VaR on a hypothetical and actual basis and the results are tabled to the Group ALCO.

In addition, stress tests are conducted regularly on the trading book. In performing stress-testing, the Bank uses the
following:

(1) Scenario analysis, which is a combination of expected movements on risk factors.

(2) Historical crisis event, which is based on actual movements that occurred in the relevant risk factors. The main risk
factors that are stressed are the KL Financial Bursa Composite Index, interest rates movements (for MYR, USD and
other major currencies), ratings migration and Foreign Exchange spot and volatilities.

In managing interest rate risk in the banking book, the Group measures earnings at risk and economic value or capital at risk.

(C) Market Conduct Risk

Market Conduct risk is the risk that arise from either an individual or group of individual dealers of the Bank, who through
non-compliant behaviour and/or behaviour that lack integrity or honesty, subjects the Bank to adverse consequences in
terms of monetary losses, reputational damage and regulatory fines.

Independent market conduct risk monitoring and surveillance is carried out to detect attempts on market misconduct
by Global Markets. Management oversight on market conduct is effected through the Risk and Compliance Governance
Committee (“RCGC”). A robust and comprehensive market conduct surveillance policy has been established by the Bank to
ensure all activities in Global Markets are in conformity with market best practices and compliance requirements, which
is reviewed and concurred by the Group Assets and Liabilities Management Committee (“Group ALCO”), endorsed by the
BRMC and approved by the Board.

for the financial year ended 30 June 2019

4. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(D) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the inability to fund increases in assets and/or meet financial obligations
as they fall due. Financial obligations arise from withdrawal of deposits, funding of loans committed and repayment of
borrowed funds. It is the Bank’s policy to ensure there is adequate liquidity across all business units to sustain ongoing
operations, as well as sufficient liquidity to fund asset growth and strategic opportunities.

Besides adhering to the Regulatory Liquidity Requirement, the Bank has put in place a robust and comprehensive liquidity
risk management framework consisting of risk appetite, policies, triggers and controls which are reviewed and concurred
by the Group ALCO, endorsed by the BRMC and approved by the Board. The key elements of the framework cover proactive
monitoring and management of cashflow, maintenance of high quality liquid assets, diversification of funding sources and
maintaining a liquidity compliance buffer to meet any unexpected cash outflow.

The Bank has in place liquidity contingency funding plan and stress test programs to minimise the liquidity risk that may
arise due to unforeseen adverse changes in the marketplace. Contingency funding plan sets out the crisis escalation
process and the various strategies to be employed to preserve liquidity including an orderly communication channel during
liquidity crisis scenarios. Liquidity stress tests are conducted regularly to ensure there is adequate liquidity contingency fund
to meet any shortfalls during liquidity crisis scenarios.

(E) Operational risk

Operational Risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from
external events which also include outsourcing and business continuity risks.

Management oversight on Operational Risk Management (“ORM”) matters are effected through the RCGC whilst Board
oversight is effected through the BRMC.

The Group’s ORM strategy is based on a framework of continuous improvements, good governance structure, policies and
procedures as well as the employment of risk mitigation strategies. The objective is to create a strong risk and internal
control culture by ensuring awareness of the significance of operational risk, its methodology of identification, analysis,
assessment, control and monitoring.

The Group adopts ORM tools such as loss event reporting, risk and control self assessment and key risk indicators to manage
operational risks and are used to assess risk by taking into consideration key business conditions, strategies and internal
controls. The ultimate aim is to enhance economic performance, achievement of corporate goals and the aspirations of
stakeholders.

These tools are based on international best practices for the management of operational risks and are explained in more
detail below:

(i) Risk and Control Self Assessment (“RCSA”) is an assessment process on severity of potential risk and control
effectiveness.

(ii) Key Risk Indicators (“KRI”) is a set of measures to allow the Group to monitor and facilitate early detection of
operational risks.

(iii) Loss Event Reporting (“LER”) is a process for collecting and reporting operational risk events. These are further used
for analysis of operational risks for the purpose of developing mitigating controls.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(E) Operational risk (continued)

The operational risk mitigation strategies that are implemented include:

(i) Policies and Standard Operating Procedures that define the roles and responsibilities of personnel and their respective
operating limits.

(ii) Insurance against operational losses as a form of risk mitigation especially for risks which are deemed as high
severity.

(iii) System of controls, established to provide reasonable assurance of effective and efficient operation.

(iv) Business Continuity Management to facilitate the continuance of business activities in the event of disaster or crisis
situations by means of ensuring appropriate redundancy of systems are available.

(v) Outsourcing Management to ensure proper due diligence review is performed prior to engaging outsource service
providers and continuous tracking of existing outsource service providers' performance, code of conduct, compliance,
and business viability.

(F) Financial hedges to mitigate interest rate risks

The following actions describe the accounting treatment for financial hedges that may be entered into to mitigate the
interest rate risk exposures of the Bank.

(i) Financial instruments designated as fair value through profit and loss

The Group and the Bank use derivative hedge instruments, such as interest rate swaps to undertake economic
hedges on part of their existing fixed rate loans to reduce the exposure on interest rate risk as part of its risk
management strategy.

(ii) Fair value hedges

The Group and the Bank use interest rate swap as the hedge instruments to hedge the interest rate risk of fixed rate
loans exposure. The interest rate swap contracts used for the hedging are contracted with other financial institutions.

(iii) Cash flow hedges

The Group and the Bank use interest rate swaps as hedge instruments to hedge the variability of future cash flows
on fixed deposits.

Further information relating to the cash flow hedges are disclosed in Note 13(a) to the financial statements.

(iv) The accounting policies on derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting are disclosed in Note 2K to the
financial statements.

6. INTEREST RATE RISK/RATE OF RETURN RISK IN THE BANKING BOOK (“IRRBB”/“RORRBB”)

The Group evaluates the impact of IRRBB/RORRBB via the earnings and the underlying economic value perspective.

The earnings perspective provides the impact via the reduction in earning arising from the changes in interest rate/rate of returns.
Earnings perspective focuses on the short-term effect of IRRBB/RORRBB. The components affecting the earnings perspective
include the timing of the repricing basis, yield curve risk and option positions.

The economic value perspective provides a long-term perspective for the impact of IRRBB/RORRBB. This perspective evaluates
the changes in the Group’s economic value via the present value of the Group’s future cash flow. The future cash flow projections
used to estimate the economic exposure provides a pro forma estimate of the future income generated by its current position.
In general, the measurement of present value of instruments will be able to give an overview of the Group’s economic value of
equity (“EVE”) over a longer time period.

The increase of decline in earning and economic value for upward and downward rate shocks are consistent with the rate shocks
applied in the Group’s stress test for IRRBB/RORRBB (which are as follows):

7. SHARIAH GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

In October 2010, BNM has issued Shariah Governance Framework (“SGF”) to guide Islamic financial institutions to establish a
comprehensive governance policy framework which sets out the strategic roles and functions of each organ of governance and
mechanism in ensuring that the overall Islamic financial system operates in accordance with Shariah principles. The new Islamic
Financial Services Act (“IFSA”) 2013, which came into force on 30 June 2013, statutorily enforce the management of Shariah
non-compliance risk and require Islamic financial institutions to ensure that their aim, operation, business, affairs and activities
are Shariah-compliant at all time.

HLISB has developed its own Shariah Governance Board Policy to ensure the management of Shariah matters in the Bank is of
the highest standard in line with SGF and IFSA.

The Bankʼs Shariah Governance Board Policy governs and guides HLISB on the on-going development and enhancement of its
Shariah governance infrastructure. It forms the basic foundation upon which Shariah governance policies are to be developed,
Shariah governance structure is to be operated in, and Shariah governance initiatives are to be carried out.
