Abstract
In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for optimizing the capital structure of a financial institution. A system may include an optimization engine stored on a computer readable medium and executable by one or more processors, when executed the optimization engine being configured to: receive information identifying available capital of the financial institution for each of a plurality of capital instruments; receive information classifying each of the plurality of capital instruments within one of a plurality of risk levels; receive an overall target capital value for the plurality of capital instruments; and determine an optimum capital value for each of the plurality of capital instruments, the optimal capital values being determined using an optimization algorithm that relates the available capital for the plurality of capital instruments to the overall target capital value subject to a plurality of constraints, the plurality of constraints relating to the capital held by the financial institution at each of the plurality of risk levels.
