  alm asset and liability management: The Liquidity Risk Management Guide Gudni Adalsteinsson, 2014-05-08 Liquidity risk is in the spotlight of both regulators and management teams across the banking industry. The European banking regulator has introduced and implemented a stronger liquidity regulatory framework and local regulators have made liquidity a top priority on their supervisory agenda.

  alm asset and liability management: Asset Liability Management T. Ravi Kumar, 2005-03 The face of Indian financial sector changed forever with the initiation of economic reforms in 1991. Deregulation and integration has led Indian banks and financial institutions into competition both on the assets side as well as the liabilities side of the balance sheet, forcing them to assume greater and newer risks in their quest for higher returns. Accordingly, the need for bankers to be familiar with the risks to which they are exposed and the tools available for managing such risks assumes vital significance. The US savings and loan crisis in the early 1980s and the Asian crisis of the late 1990s strongly underscored the dangers confronting banks and financial institutions which choose to ignore the implications of interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Asset-liability management (ALM) provides a macro-level framework and a sophisticated tool for modern risk management in banks. This is an authoritative work on the fundamentals of ALM. The book commences with an introduction to the types of risks confronting banks and goes on to describe the concept, rationale and implementation of asset-liability management

  alm asset and liability management: Applications in Finance, Investments, and Banking Diem Ho, Thomas Schneeweis, 2013-04-17 Technological, economic, and regulatory changes are some of the driving forces in the modern world of finance. For instance, financial markets now trade twenty-four hours a day and securities are increasingly being traded via real-time computer-based systems in contrast to trading floor-based systems. Equally important, new security forms and pricing models are coming into existence in response to changes in domestic and international regulatory action. Accounting and risk management systems now enable financial and investment firms to manage risk more efficiently while meeting regulatory concerns. The challenge for academics and practitioners alike is how to keep themselves, and others, current with these changing markets, as well as the technology and current investment and risk management tools. Applications in Finance, Investments, and Banking offers presentations by twelve leading investment professionals and academics on a wide range of finance, investment and banking issues. Chapters include analysis of the basic foundations of financial analysis, as well as current approaches to managing risk. Presentations also include reviews of the means of measuring the volatility of the underlying return process and how investment performance measurement can be used to better understand the benefits of active management. Finally, articles also present advances in the pricing of the new financial assets (e.g., swaps), as well as the understanding of the factors (e.g., earnings estimates) affecting pricing of the traditional assets (e.g., stocks). Applications in Finance, Investments, and Banking provides beneficial information to the understanding of both traditional and modern approaches of financial and investment management.

  alm asset and liability management: Asset Liability Management. 3rd Edition , 2014-08-05 The book begins with a description of how the revenue generation mechanism of a bank works. Asset liability management (ALM) and associated interest rate and liquidity risks are defined and other measures such as duration and convexity are calculated. In order to understand the various yield curve shapes, shifts and outlooks, a review of the historical US yield term structures is conducted. This is followed by a look at various ALM strategies, in view of future expected interest rate outlooks, and their impact on the maturity distributions of assets & liabilities of banks. Next, the various assumptions used in an ALM model are assessed, followed by an explanation of price and rate gaps with some basic illustrations to understand the concepts of net interest income at risk and market value at risk. ALM reports profile cash flows by maturity or reset buckets. A methodology for building maturity and liquidity profiles for banks’ advances and deposits portfolios using the Pivot table & chart functionality in EXCEL is discussed. Step by step methodologies for various ALM measurement tools follow. These include Fall in Market Value of Equity, Earnings at Risk, Cost to Close liquidity gap, Cost to Close interest rate gap, Rate Sensitive Gap, Duration Gap. An overview of other ALM reports such as price sensitive gap, net interest income (NII) and liquidity gap is given. Applications for explaining immunization and portfolio dedication are presented. An EXCEL Solver based fixed income portfolio optimization model is discussed and scenarios for minimizing duration and maximizing convexity of the portfolio are presented. A discussion of liquidity risk management measures including ratios and analyses for measuring liquidity risk, limits for managing the risk, general and specific requirements for developing a contingency funding plan and liquidity enhancement tactics for company specific and systemic crisis. A methodology for stress testing liquidity using a Value at Risk (VaR) based approach for a fixed income portfolio is also discussed. The book concludes with a case-study for assessing why bank regulations fail. This simulation results based study looks at the efficacy of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) as an indicator of bank performance and seeks to identify a more valuable leading indicator or target account for monitoring bank performance and health.

  alm asset and liability management: Handbook of Asset and Liability Management Stavros A. Zenios, William T. Ziemba, 2006-07-17 This first volume of the Handbook of Asset and Liability Management presents the theories and methods supporting models that align a firm's operations and tactics with its uncertain environment. Detailing the symbiosis between optimization tools and financial decision-making, its original articles cover term and volatility structures, interest rates, risk-return analysis, dynamic asset allocation strategies in discrete and continuous time, the use of stochastic programming models, bond portfolio management, and the Kelly capital growth theory and practice. They effectively set the scene for Volume Two by showing how the management of risky assets and uncertain liabilities within an integrated, coherent framework remains the core problem for both financial institutions and other business enterprises as well.*Each volume presents an accurate survey of a sub-field of finance*Fills a substantial gap in this field*Broad in scope
  alm asset and liability management: Asset & Liability Management Jean Dermine, Youssef F. Bissada, 2002 As institutional shareholders increase pressure on value creation and as central banks around the world are forcing banks to improve their ALM capabilities, the time has come for every banker to master the tools of Asset and Liability Management, and the control of value creation and risk. Written for a general business audience by Jean Dermine, an INSEAD expert, Asset and Liability Management is a complete toolbox for those wishing to get to grips with the subject. Unique in its concise, clear and accessible presentation of the concepts, the book steers clear of complex mathematics and presents the tools in an intuitive and simple way by using modern, visual, educational techniques. The book sheds light on questions such as: how do the various pieces of the bank puzzle fit with one another? how does each piece of the bank contribute to value creation? how does one ensure that risks are being controlled? how do you evaluate performances on a risk-adjusted basis? how do you price loans to secure the creation of value? It also includes discussions on profit-center management, pricing credit risk and loan provisioning, and the management of interest rate and liquidity risks. Threading through the book are a set of exercises with solutions to measure understanding of the concepts as they build on each other. Packaged with the book is a step-by-step tutorial CD-ROM that focuses on visuals, and exercises with built-in solutions. This can be used as a stand-alone self-learning device or as a tool after reading the book to test and reinforce the concepts learnt.
