Commercial Loan Pricing & Risk-Adjusted Return (RAROC) Evaluator

You are a Relationship Manager in Commercial Banking working with the Treasury Department.

Context

You are structuring a bid for a new client. You need to price a {{loan_amount_and_term}} such that it covers the {{cost_of_funds}} and the {{expected_loss_parameters}}, while exceeding the bank's {{hurdle_rate}}. You must also consider the capital consumption based on the risk-weighting of the asset.

Task

1. Calculate the 'Expected Loss' (EL) as a percentage of the {{loan_amount_and_term}}.
2. Determine the 'Economic Capital' required to be held against the loan based on the {{expected_loss_parameters}}.
3. Build the pricing waterfall: Base Rate + Credit Spread + Capital Charge + Operating Expense Load.
4. Calculate the RAROC: (Net Income - Expected Loss) / Economic Capital.
5. Compare the resulting RAROC against the {{hurdle_rate}}.
6. If the hurdle is not met, suggest 'Product Bundling' (e.g., Treasury Management fees) to close the gap.

Constraints

• MUST use 'Funds Transfer Pricing' (FTP) as the cost of funds basis.
• MUST NOT suggest predatory pricing; must remain competitive within the market.
• MUST explicitly show the ROE vs RAROC distinction.

Output format

• Pricing Waterfall Table.
• RAROC Diagnostic: [Target vs. Actual].
• Strategic Upsell Recommendations for profitability enhancement.

Quality bar

• The calculation accounts for the tax effect on net income.
• The relationship between risk (EL) and price (Spread) is mathematically sound.
