Course Overview
Best Practices in Asset/Liability Management: A Focus on Liquidity and Market Risk is an intermediate/advanced course designed to provide the skills necessary to further your understanding of the impact of changing market conditions on the soundness of the balance sheet and profitability of the income statement. The program explores issues in liquidity management, interest rate risk management, and loan and deposit management, and provides practical, relevant examples based on the present interest rate environment and current market conditions.

Who will benefit?
This course is designed for risk professionals who are members of the asset/liability committee (ALCO), particularly Chief Financial Officers, controllers and accounting department staffers, treasury personnel, and loan officers. Also, given the current market conditions, this course is especially valuable for bank board members, most specifically those who sit on ALCO committees.

You will:

  • Identify liquidity risk within your balance sheet, and discover the options available to mitigate that risk.
  • Explore practical ways of funding your bank in both rising and falling interest rate environments.
  • Learn how to manage capital to satisfy both regulators and shareholders.
  • Become familiar with ALCO best practices.
  • Develop an in-depth understanding of market risk with a major focus on interest rate risk.
  • Evaluate various asset and liability management strategies through the interest rate cycle-from theory to practice.
  • Identify key determinants of profitability.
  • Identify issues of particular concern to lenders, including managing the loan portfolio within the bank's ALCO goals.
  • Use the balance sheet management skills learned to exploit opportunities to increase your market share and improve liquidity.
  • Explore issues, such as the use of balance sheet leverage and hedging strategies, including swaps.
