Introduction

In the banking industry, Asset and Liability Management (ALM) is crucial for maintaining financial stability and maximizing profitability in a complex and volatile market. Asset and Liability Management (ALM) training courses in banking equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to balance assets and liabilities, optimize liquidity, and manage financial risks effectively. Through these specialized ALM training courses, banking professionals learn to navigate regulatory requirements, control interest rate exposures, and strengthen balance sheet resilience—vital competencies in today’s evolving financial landscape.

These Asset and Liability Management (ALM) training courses cover a broad range of banking-specific strategies, from foundational ALM concepts to advanced risk management techniques. Participants gain a thorough understanding of regulatory compliance, liquidity management, and capital planning, as well as practical experience through case studies tailored to banking environments.

This Asset Liability Management training course will examine how banks should manage their assets and liabilities to ensure they do not inadvertently find themselves exposed to the risks which brought SVB down. It will show how these risks arise and what strategies a bank needs to pursue to keep these risks within acceptable agreed limits. It will examine the stability of a bank’s funding base and assess what assets it can acquire in view of this stability. It will show, in particular, how a bank can manage the interest rate risk inherent in its non-maturity deposits and capital.

This Asset and Liability Management (ALM) training course will highlight:
