ALM & FTP Workshop

Post the global financial crisis, optimal Asset and Liability Management in banks is more challenging than ever. The regulation that followed the crisis, in particular Basel III, greatly elevated the quality of capital and liquidity that banks must now need to hold. As with everything, higher quality equals higher cost;  hence optimal deployment of balance sheet resources is vital in mitigating the ‘hit’ to Return on Equity that this regulation represents.

More recent challenges such as Brexit (in the UK and Europe), the COVID pandemic, conflict in Ukraine and rocketing cost of living combined with aggressive global rate hikes have only served to exasperate the challenges.

This intensive workshop looks to explore what, within the industry, is considered best practice within the ALM community in managing these challenges and the vital role Funds Transfer Pricing [FTP] plays in doing so.

We use real life case studies and simulations combined with the trainers extensive experience to explain how banks are looking to optimise balance sheets via the more selective deployment of balance sheet resources and how FTP is driving behaviours and steering the ship to achieve this.  In addition, it will explore the fluid regulatory landscape in which banks are functioning and outline what the industry considers as best practice in terms of dealing with the challenges that landscape presents.

Hence by attending this workshop, delegates will be better equipped to work in or with ALM to support the optimisation of the balance sheet they are tasked to achieve.
