REDmoney Seminars Presents 'Advanced Asset Liability Management & LIBOR Transition: Operational Issues & Pricing Financial Instruments'

Sound asset-liability management is crucial if banks are in future to avoid the pitfalls highlighted by the global financial crisis 2007-9. Banks failed for very basic reasons, including liquidity mismanagement, and financial product complexity. Financial innovations and a fast-changing economic environment provide opportunities to gain but can also create significant risks. Managing these risks without losing sight of getting the basics right is what good ALM is all about.

This is an advanced ALM course designed to deliver most benefit to practitioners with some pre-existing practical or academic knowledge of asset-liability management. Whilst the course covers the basics of ALM to remind delegates of the most important techniques applied to measure and manage interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and currency risk, its focus is on developing a deeper understanding of the many varied and sometimes complex challenges that risk managers face, in particular risk capture and hedging decisions.

The course provides ample opportunity for a high level of interactive discussion, and delegates are invited to ask questions based on the course material itself, or aspects of practical risk management they face in their professional roles for which they seek clarification/advice.

Key Takeaways & Learning Objectives:

• Gain insights into solutions to more complex aspects of asset-liability management
• Learn about a range of modelling techniques at the forefront of ALM
• Develop skills to design appropriate hedges which are suited to managing particular exposures
