Event Synopsis:

Asset Liability Management (ALM) is used by financial institutions to identify and manage potential short-term and long-term risks within the existing balance sheet when interest rates change. The ALM process provides an opportunity to maximize earnings while at the same time mitigating risk.   However, the extended low rate environment and increased regulatory expectations have wreaked havoc on the ALM process.

The Knowledge Group has assembled knowledgeable and experienced professionals to provide the audience with some helpful ideas and tools to maneuver through regulatory expectations and determine appropriate ALM model assumptions which will enhance the financial depository’s asset liability management process and provide reliable results.

Key issues include that will be discussed in this webcast are:

§  ALM Policy Limits

§  Institution-specific ALM model assumptions

§  Managing Interest Rate Risks

§  Risk Analysis and Mitigation

§  Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) and Board reporting and function

§  Regulatory Expectations and Best Practices
