  2. Disclosure… • The views and opinions expressed in this presentation are my own, and do not necessarily represent those of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. • I’ll refer frequently to national bank and Federal savings association regulations and guidance – while similar in principle, you should refer to the regulations and guidance of your primary regulator.

  3. The Mission of the OCC “assuring the safety and soundness of, and compliance with laws and regulations, fair access to financial services, and fair treatment of customers by, the institutions and other persons subject to its jurisdiction.” • From Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act

OCC – National Bank and Federal Savings Association AM Supervision

  9. OTS/OCC Integration (Effective July 21, 2011) Federal savings association (FSA) charters are still in effect. OCC now supervises FSAs. (FDIC supervises state savings associations, FRB supervises thrift holding companies.) Combined OCC/OTS teams now examine both National Banks (NB) and FSAs. OCC – National Bank and Federal Savings Association AM Supervision 9

  10. OCC/OTS Integration - Related Regulation Changes Required rule changes implemented (See OCC Bulletin 2011-35.) OCC and OTS regulations have been reviewed and differences identified. The goal is to integrate into single set of rules – watch for NPR. Fiduciary Activities: 12 CFR 9 (NB) – 12 CFR 150 (FSA) Securities Transactions: 12 CFR 12 (NB) – 12 CFR 151 (FSA) Call report Schedule RC-T has replaced TFR-FS (3/31/12) OCC – National Bank and Federal Savings Association AM Supervision 10

  11. OTS/OCC Integration – Policy Impact OCC Bulletin 2011-47 – Supervisory Policy Integration Process OCC Bulletin 2012-15 – Rescission of most OTS documents “Outdated,” “Duplicative,” “Conveyance” and “Replaced” Most OCC Handbooks now applicable to FSAs OCC Bulletin 2012-16 - “Capital Planning: Guidance for Evaluating Capital Planning and Adequacy” Policy Integration initiatives continue Efforts to replace similar guidance with updated, combined guidance is ongoing and will take time. Look for updated, consolidated booklets of the Comptroller’s Handbook as applicable regulations are updated. OCC – National Bank and Federal Savings Association AM Supervision 11

  21. OCC Risk Management Expectations - AM • OCC focuses on banks’ ability to effectively identify, measure, monitor and control risk. • Bank’s risk management program should be tailored to the size and complexity of operations. • Product development process should include thorough risk assessment, that includes an evaluation of bank’s ability to manage the incremental risk. • Account acceptance process should include assessment of bank’s ability to meet operational requirements and manage operational risk.

  22. Operating Environment – Asset Management • Prolonged domestic and global economic weakness and uncertainty. • AM activities – revenue streams increasingly important to bank earnings. • Anxiety for income/improved investment performance. • Fees for liquid asset management continue to be impacted by fee waivers due to low rate environment. • Business restructuring, exiting certain products and markets, expanding into others. • Strategic initiatives designed to improve earnings and growth in challenging market environment.
