The set of principles, governance, roles and responsibilities, methodologies and procedures that support the<br />

operational risk management process applied to products, services, activities, processes and systems is<br />

described and published in an operational risk management institutional norm. A summarized version of such<br />

policy is available on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri in the section Corporate Governance, Rules and<br />

Policies, Public Access Report – Operational Risk.<br />

On April 30, 2008, BACEN published Circular No. 3.383 and Circular Letters Nos. 3,315 and No. 3,316, which<br />

establish the criteria for calculation of PRE related to the operational risk (POPR), addressed by Resolution No.<br />

3,490, July 1, 2008. Therefore, since this date, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has allocated capital to Operational<br />

Risk using the Alternative Standardized Approach.<br />

IV – Liquidity Risk<br />

Liquidity risk is the occurrence of imbalances between tradable assets and falling due liabilities - mismatching<br />

between payments and receipts - which may affect the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDNIG’s payment capacity, taking<br />

into consideration the different currencies and payment terms and their rights and obligations.<br />

Management of liquidity risk seeks to guarantee liquidity sufficient to support possible outflows in market stress<br />

situations, as well as the compatibility between funding, and terms and liquidity of assets.<br />

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a structure dedicated to monitoring, controlling and analyzing liquidity risk,<br />

through models of variables projections that affect cash flows and the level of reserves in local and foreign<br />

currencies.<br />

The document that expresses the guidelines set forth by the internal policy on liquidity risk management may be<br />

viewed on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri, in the section Corporate Governance, Rules and Policies,<br />

Public Access Report - Liquidity Risk.<br />

Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDNIG establishes guidelines and limits whose compliance is periodically<br />

analyzed in technical committees and whose purpose is providing safety margin in addition to the minimum<br />

projected needs. Liquidity management policies and associated limits are established based on prospective<br />

scenarios that are regularly reviewed and on top management definitions.<br />

V - Underwriting Risk<br />

Underwriting risk is the possibility of incurring losses arising from insurance, pension plan and capitalization<br />

operations that are contrary to the organization’s expectations and that are directly or indirectly associated with<br />

the technical and actuarial bases used to calculate premiums, contributions and technical reserves.<br />

The insurance risk management process is supported by roles and responsibilities determined by the business<br />

and risk control areas so as to reinforce the separation of the management and control activities and, therefore,<br />

ensure the independence between the areas. Additionally, there is a governance process that ensures an<br />

independent validation of the products and negotiations in question, ensuring compliance with the many internal<br />

and regulatory demands.<br />
