The course analyses the different ways in which a bank will structure its balance sheet and manage the associated risks. The course is based on the idea that there are three components that bank will need to manage profitably in order to comply with current regulatory requirements: capital, profitability and asset quality.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the session the participant will be able to:
- Define what is meant by the phrase asset and liability management
- Explain the main components of a bank’s capital position
- Identify how a bank will manage their profitability
- Explain how the bank will manage their asset quality
Who should attend?
The course is designed to provide an overview of the asset and liability management (ALM) function. This function is important for a number of roles to understand including:
- Relationship managers covering financial institutions
- Compliance staff
- Regulators
- Internal auditors
- Market and credit risk professionals
- Middle office staff
- Technology staff responsible for related systems
The course assumes an understanding of banking basics (e.g. bond terminology) while some knowledge of swaps would be useful
