Bullet points include: Capital arbitrage increased ‘model risk’. Exposures parked into trading book if this produced a favourable capital outcome. Others (including other banks) ‘searched for yield’, over-relying on credit rating agencies to assess riskiness of resulting structures. Risk models overly focused on recent past (hence benign) short-term volatility. Basel II overwhelmingly focused on capital and not on liquidity, i.e. ability to fund resulting exposures.
