Asset Liability Management: Interest Rate Risk

 

Thursday, June 12, 2008

 

12:00 – 1:30 PM Pacific Time

1:00 – 2:30 PM Mountain Time

2:00 – 3:30 PM Central Time

3:00 – 4:30 PM Eastern Time

 

The “S” in CAMELS stands for “sensitivity” and is of growing importance in times of volatile interest rate swings.  For many banks, interest rate risk (IRR) management has become a way of “papering the files” for the examiners.  Unfortunately, IRR is real and lack of active management can result in lower earnings and deteriorating capital.  Producing reports that are not reviewed or acted upon is not enough.

 

This session is designed to give you the conceptual and practical help you need to strengthen and reinvigorate your asset liability program.  Both newcomers and experienced practitioners will find this program helpful in clearing up the mystery and complexity surrounding asset liability and interest rate risk management.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

Ø      Regulatory expectations and requirements (what the examiners look for)

Ø      Identifying the types of IRR

Ø      Discussion of IRR measurement methods (GAP, duration and simulation)

Ø      Developing a stronger and more effective Asset Liability Committee (ALCO)

Ø      The role of IRR management in increasing profitability and preserving capital

Ø      Strategies for managing IRR

 

WHY SHOULD YOU PARTICIPATE?

This session is a cost-effective way to ensure that your IRR program meets regulatory guidelines and, more importantly, is an effective working part of the financial management of your bank.  You may train as many individuals as you like for one set price.  There will be no travel costs, time lost from work and no one will be required to leave the institution.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This informative session is designed for senior managers, directors, ALCO members, chief financial officers, and anyone else involved in IRR and asset liability management.
