## Concept

From a systems architecture perspective, a [financial institution](https://prime.greeks.live/area/financial-institution/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) operates within a complex, interconnected environment where its internal stability and the stability of the broader market are intrinsically linked. The core distinction between a Recovery Plan and a Resolution Plan lies in their fundamental purpose and the entity that controls their execution. A Recovery Plan is an institution’s own internal, pre-emptive survival manual. It is designed, owned, and intended to be executed by the firm’s own management.

Its primary objective is to restore the institution to long-term viability under conditions of severe stress, using a pre-defined menu of actions. This is the system’s self-repair protocol, a strategic framework for pulling back from the brink through the institution’s own efforts.

A Resolution Plan, frequently termed a “living will,” serves a completely different function. This plan is architected for an external authority, the regulator, to execute. Its core assumption is that the institution’s recovery efforts have failed or are insufficient, and the firm is no longer viable. The objective of a resolution plan is the [orderly wind-down](https://prime.greeks.live/area/orderly-wind-down/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) of the institution in a manner that mitigates [systemic risk](https://prime.greeks.live/area/systemic-risk/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) and prevents contagion from spreading throughout the financial system.

This is the system’s controlled shutdown protocol, designed to protect the entire financial ecosystem from the failure of a single, significant node. The institution provides the necessary information, but the plan’s ultimate user and executor is the regulator, such as the FDIC in the United States.

> A recovery plan is the firm’s guide to saving itself, while a resolution plan is the regulator’s guide to safely dismantling the firm.

The operational mindset for each plan is therefore fundamentally different. Recovery planning is an exercise in strategic resilience and proactive risk management. It compels an institution to identify its [critical functions](https://prime.greeks.live/area/critical-functions/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite), vulnerabilities, and a credible set of self-help measures long before a crisis materializes.

These measures might include selling assets, raising capital, or exiting specific business lines to stabilize its financial position. It is an extension of the firm’s ongoing risk management framework, deeply integrated with its capital and liquidity adequacy assessment processes.

Resolution planning, conversely, is an exercise in preparing for an orderly failure. It requires the institution to map its own complex legal and operational structures so that a regulator can, if necessary, dismantle it without causing a systemic collapse. This involves identifying legal entities, critical operations that must be sustained, and financial contracts that need to be managed during a resolution process. The focus shifts from saving the institution to preserving the critical functions it provides to the market, thereby ensuring [financial stability](https://prime.greeks.live/area/financial-stability/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite).

## Strategy

The strategic frameworks underpinning [Recovery and Resolution](https://prime.greeks.live/area/recovery-and-resolution/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) Plans are engineered for vastly different scenarios, initiators, and objectives. Understanding these strategic distinctions is essential for comprehending their roles within the financial stability architecture. The strategy of a Recovery Plan is fundamentally inward-looking and centered on the principle of self-preservation. For a Resolution Plan, the strategy is outward-looking, centered on the principle of systemic preservation.

## Recovery Strategy a Framework for Corporate Self-Rescue

A credible Recovery Plan is built upon a detailed and realistic strategic analysis of the institution’s own business model. It is not a theoretical exercise; it is a practical playbook for management to use in a crisis. The strategic core of the plan is a “menu” of recovery options, which are specific, pre-analyzed actions the firm can take to generate capital or liquidity.

These options are typically categorized by their severity and potential impact on the institution’s franchise:

- **Capital Generation Options** ▴ These actions are designed to bolster the firm’s capital base. Examples include issuing new equity, converting contingent capital instruments, selling subsidiary businesses or asset portfolios, and reducing or eliminating dividends.

- **Liquidity Generation Options** ▴ These actions focus on increasing cash reserves. This can involve accessing central bank liquidity facilities, executing repurchase agreements, or securitizing and selling loan portfolios.

- **De-Risking Actions** ▴ These involve strategically reducing the firm’s risk profile. This could mean hedging specific exposures, reducing trading limits, or exiting volatile business lines entirely.

A critical component of the recovery strategy is the [trigger framework](https://prime.greeks.live/area/trigger-framework/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite). This framework uses a series of quantitative and qualitative indicators to signal when the firm is approaching or entering a state of distress. These triggers are calibrated to provide early warning, allowing management to act before the situation becomes unmanageable. The strategy dictates that as certain trigger levels are breached, specific recovery options from the menu become available or are mandated for consideration by the board.

## Resolution Strategy a Framework for Systemic Stability

The strategy for resolution is developed by regulatory authorities, using detailed information provided by the institution. The overarching goal is to ensure that even if a [systemically important financial institution](https://prime.greeks.live/area/systemically-important-financial-institution/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) (SIFI) fails, its critical economic functions can continue without interruption and without resorting to a taxpayer-funded bailout. There are two primary strategic approaches that regulators have developed for this purpose.

## What Are the Primary Regulatory Approaches to Resolution?

The choice of strategy depends heavily on the structure of the financial institution, particularly whether it is a global, complex entity or a more domestically focused one.

- **[Single Point of Entry](https://prime.greeks.live/area/single-point-of-entry/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) (SPOE)** ▴ This strategy is designed for large, complex financial groups with a holding company structure. Under SPOE, the [resolution authority](https://prime.greeks.live/area/resolution-authority/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) intervenes at the top-tier parent or holding company level. The authority injects capital into the holding company, often by writing down or converting its long-term debt into new equity (a process known as “bail-in”). This recapitalizes the firm from the top down, allowing its critical operating subsidiaries (the entities that perform key banking, payment, and clearing functions) to continue operating with minimal disruption. The losses are imposed on the shareholders and creditors of the holding company, insulating the operating entities and the broader financial system.

- **[Multiple Point of Entry](https://prime.greeks.live/area/multiple-point-of-entry/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) (MPOE)** ▴ This strategy is more suitable for financial groups that are less integrated and have distinct legal entities operating in different jurisdictions. Under MPOE, resolution authorities in different countries can take control of their respective local entities. This might involve selling off business lines to other institutions or winding down operations on a regional basis. This approach allows for a more fragmented resolution but can be more complex to coordinate across borders.

The resolution strategy also involves extensive pre-planning to ensure “[operational continuity](https://prime.greeks.live/area/operational-continuity/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite).” This means identifying all the shared services, IT systems, and personnel necessary to keep critical functions running even as the parent company is being resolved.

> The strategy of recovery is to restore a single firm’s health; the strategy of resolution is to protect the health of the entire financial system.

## Comparative Strategic Framework

The divergent strategies of Recovery and [Resolution Plans](https://prime.greeks.live/question/what-are-the-key-differences-between-the-resolution-of-a-bank-and-the-resolution-of-a-ccp/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) can be systematically compared across several key dimensions. This comparison illuminates their distinct roles and the clear line that separates a firm’s crisis management from the authorities’ systemic risk management.

### Table 1 ▴ Strategic Comparison of Recovery and Resolution Plans

| Dimension | Recovery Plan | Resolution Plan (“Living Will”) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Primary Objective | Restore the financial viability and long-term health of the institution. | Ensure an orderly wind-down of a failed institution to protect systemic stability. |
| Plan Owner and Initiator | The institution’s Board of Directors and senior management. | The designated national resolution authority (e.g. FDIC, Bank of England). |
| Core Assumption | The institution can be saved through its own actions. | The institution has failed or is failing and cannot be saved. |
| Key Strategic Tools | Asset sales, capital issuance, dividend cuts, de-risking, accessing liquidity facilities. | Bail-in (debt-for-equity conversion), transfer of critical functions, creation of a bridge bank, asset sales. |
| Trigger Point | Breach of pre-defined capital, liquidity, or operational risk indicators (early warning). | Determination by authorities that the firm is “no longer viable” and has no prospect of recovery. |
| Audience | Internal (Board, Management) and Supervisory (Regulators reviewing for credibility). | External (Resolution authority is the primary user). |

## Execution

The execution phase is where the architectural blueprints of Recovery and Resolution Plans are translated into tangible actions. The operational mechanics, governance structures, and legal authorities involved in executing each plan are fundamentally distinct. Execution of a Recovery Plan is a high-stakes corporate maneuver managed internally, while the execution of a Resolution Plan is a complex regulatory intervention with systemic implications.

## Executing a Recovery Plan the Firm’s Last Stand

The execution of a Recovery Plan is initiated by the firm’s own governance structure when the pre-defined trigger framework signals a severe stress event. This is a moment of extreme pressure, requiring a clear chain of command and flawless operational readiness.

## How Is a Recovery Plan Activated and Governed?

The activation process is designed to be swift and decisive. It begins with the monitoring of early warning indicators (EWIs). When these indicators breach their thresholds, a formal escalation process is triggered.

- **Monitoring and Escalation** ▴ A dedicated team, often within the risk or treasury function, continuously monitors the firm’s capital ratios, liquidity levels, market valuation, and other key metrics against the trigger framework. A breach immediately escalates to a pre-designated crisis management committee.

- **Crisis Governance** ▴ The crisis committee, comprising senior executives (CEO, CRO, CFO, etc.) and board members, convenes to assess the situation. Their role is to analyze the nature of the stress and select the most appropriate options from the recovery menu. The plan itself should detail the roles and responsibilities of each executive involved.

- **Action and Implementation** ▴ Once the board approves a course of action, dedicated teams are responsible for executing it. For example, if the decision is to sell a portfolio of assets, the investment banking division or a specialized team would be tasked with finding buyers and executing the sale. If the plan involves raising capital, the treasury and legal teams would manage the issuance process.

- **Communication Protocol** ▴ A critical part of execution is communication. The plan includes a detailed strategy for communicating with all key stakeholders ▴ regulators, investors, employees, and the public. Maintaining confidence is paramount, and the communication must be carefully managed to avoid exacerbating the crisis.

> Execution of a recovery plan is a dynamic, management-led process aimed at steering the firm away from failure.

The entire process is overseen by the firm’s board, which holds ultimate responsibility for the plan’s activation and success. Regulators play a supervisory role, reviewing the credibility of the plan and monitoring its execution, but they do not direct the firm’s actions during the recovery phase.

## Executing a Resolution Plan the Regulator Takes Control

The execution of a Resolution Plan begins at the point where recovery is deemed to have failed. This is a fundamentally different operational reality. The firm’s management and board lose control, and a designated resolution authority takes command, armed with significant legal powers granted by legislation like the [Dodd-Frank Act](https://prime.greeks.live/area/dodd-frank-act/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) in the U.S.

![Precision-engineered modular components, with teal accents, align at a central interface.

## The Operational Flow of a Regulatory Resolution

The execution of a resolution is a carefully sequenced process designed to maintain stability.

- **The Trigger** ▴ The process is triggered when the relevant regulatory bodies determine that the firm is in default or in danger of default, and that its failure would have a serious adverse effect on U.S. financial stability. This is the “point of no return.”

- **Appointment of Receiver** ▴ The resolution authority (e.g. the FDIC) is appointed as the receiver for the failing financial company. At this moment, the powers of the board and management are terminated, and the receiver assumes control of the firm’s assets and operations.

- **Implementation of the Strategy (SPOE or MPOE)** ▴ The receiver immediately begins to implement the preferred resolution strategy outlined in the firm’s [living will](https://prime.greeks.live/area/living-will/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite). In a SPOE resolution, the receiver would take control of the top-tier [holding company](https://prime.greeks.live/guide/beyond-holding-build-a-resilient-portfolio-with-strategic-hedging/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite).

- **Operational Continuity** ▴ A primary and immediate focus is ensuring the continuity of critical operations. The plan will have already identified the key support services (IT, HR, legal) needed to keep the operating subsidiaries functioning. The receiver’s job is to ensure these services are uninterrupted.

- **Executing the [Bail-In](https://prime.greeks.live/area/bail-in/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite)** ▴ In a SPOE strategy, the receiver will use its powers to write down the equity of the failed holding company and convert its long-term unsecured debt into new equity. This recapitalizes the firm without public funds. The former creditors become the new owners of the reorganized holding company.

- **Transfer and Wind-Down** ▴ The receiver may transfer the ownership of the operating subsidiaries to a new, private bridge holding company. This allows the healthy parts of the business to continue seamlessly while the non-critical, failing parts of the original firm are wound down in an orderly manner.

The entire execution is designed to be rapid, often taking place over a single weekend to minimize market disruption when trading resumes.

## Comparative Execution Mechanics

The operational differences in execution are stark and reflect the plans’ divergent purposes. The following table details the mechanical steps and responsibilities in each process.

### Table 2 ▴ Execution Mechanics of Recovery vs. Resolution

| Execution Step | Recovery Execution (Firm-led) | Resolution Execution (Regulator-led) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Initiating Authority | The firm’s Board of Directors, based on internal trigger framework. | National resolution authority, based on a statutory determination of non-viability. |
| Primary Decision-Makers | CEO, CFO, CRO, and the Board. | Officials of the resolution authority (e.g. FDIC). |
| Legal Basis of Action | General corporate law and the firm’s own governance documents. | Specific statutory powers granted under resolution legislation (e.g. Dodd-Frank Act Title II). |
| Operational Goal | Implement pre-planned measures (e.g. asset sales) to stabilize the firm. | Take control, ensure continuity of critical functions, and impose losses on shareholders/creditors. |
| Status of Management | In control and responsible for execution. | Powers terminated; management is removed. |
| Treatment of Losses | Absorbed by the firm, potentially diluting shareholders through capital raising. | Systematically imposed on shareholders (wiped out) and unsecured creditors (converted to equity). |

## Reflection

The architectural distinction between [Recovery and Resolution planning](https://prime.greeks.live/area/recovery-and-resolution-planning/?utm_source=options.greeks.live&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=satellite) provides a powerful lens through which to examine an institution’s own operational resilience. The knowledge of these frameworks moves beyond a mere compliance exercise. It becomes a diagnostic tool.

How robust is your institution’s internal “self-repair” protocol? Is the trigger framework calibrated with sufficient sensitivity to provide a genuine strategic advantage, or is it merely a regulatory artifact?

Considering the mechanics of a regulator-led resolution forces a deeper, more critical line of inquiry. If an external authority were to assume control, how cleanly could the institution’s critical functions be separated from the whole? Where are the hidden operational dependencies and legal entanglements that would complicate an orderly wind-down? Answering these questions honestly reveals the true structural integrity of the firm.

Ultimately, mastering the concepts of both plans equips a financial leader not just with knowledge, but with a systemic perspective. It fosters an understanding that the firm’s survival is inextricably linked to the stability of the entire financial grid. This perspective is the foundation of a superior operational framework, one that is built not just to weather storms, but to contribute to the resilience of the system itself.
