Excerpt from Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions Supervision, Regulation and Deposit Insurance of the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, House of Representatives: One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, July 12, 1994 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m., in room 2128, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Stephen L. Neal [chairman of the subcommittee] presiding. Present: Chairman Neal, Representatives Schumer, Klein, Deutsch, Hinchey, McCollum, Leach, Baker, Nussle, and Lazio. Chairman Neal. I would like to call the subcommittee to order at this time. This morning, the subcommittee meets to hear testimony on H.R. 4503, the Derivative Safety and Soundness Act of 1994. This legislation seeks to establish a framework within which bank regulators can try to ensure that banks develop sound systems and practices for managing the risks inherent in the derivatives market. It is not our intention to enact legislation that would stifle the normal and healthy growth of derivatives or other creative aspects of our financial system. Many financial institutions and consumers of derivative products have found them to be useful tools in managing and mitigating risk. If used properly, derivatives can help lower interest costs, which necessarily reflect perceptions of risk. But derivatives can, in general, only mitigate or eliminate some risk at the cost of creating other types of risk. The overall benefits of derivatives stem from the fact that the risks they create for the consumer of the derivative product are less dangerous or more acceptable than the risks they eliminate or mitigate. In the ideal case, every participant in the derivatives market ends up with a better profiled risk from his own point of view than would be attainable without the derivative instrument. Practice, of course, falls short of the ideal. The ideal requires that participants in a derivatives market fully understand the risk they would carry without derivatives and the different set of risks they would acquire with derivatives, and be able to evaluate this particular risk exchange reasonably well. Recent experience indicates that not all users of derivatives are able to assess these risks properly. It suggests they will need to promote better understanding of the derivatives market.
