asset liability management alm: Bank Asset Liability Management Best Practice Polina Bardaeva, 2021-04-19 As bankers incorporate more and more complicated and precise calculations and models, a solely mathematical approach will fail to confirm the viability of their business. This book explains how to combine ALM concepts with the emotional intelligence of managers in order to maintain the financial health of a bank, and quickly react to external environment challenges and banks’ microclimate changes. ALM embraces not only balance sheet targets setting, instruments and methodologies to achieve the targets, but also the correct and holistic understanding of processes that should be set up in a bank to prove its prudency and compliance with internal and external constraints, requirements and limitations and the ongoing continuity of its operations.

The author discusses the changing role of ALM and its historical and current concepts, its strengths and weaknesses, and future threats and opportunities. |
asset liability management alm: Asset Liability Management for Financial Institutions Bob Swarup, 2012-05-24 The asset liability management (ALM) of a financial institution requires informed decisions coupled with strategy in order to meet financial objectives. Combined with a range of risks and constraints, effective ALM requires the formulation, implementation, monitoring and revision of strategies on a daily basis. Asset liability management in the banking industry has come to the fore since the beginning of the Credit Crunch in mid 2007, with overexposed financial institutions collapsing or being propped up by governments and taxpayers ultimately footing the bill. The evidence suggests that the pain is not over with banks lacking commitment and confidence in terms of lending in Europe and the US. Without mending the balance sheet and formulating new strategies, few banks will be able to commit to new opportunities and become takers of qualified risk in the near future. Aimed primarily at risk managers/analysts within financial institutions, but also of significant interest to treasurers, pension fund managers, auditors, controllers, regulators, legal and compliance, Asset Liability Management for Financial Institutions helps build the knowledge base with a back-to-basics approach, in the context of the turmoil in the banking sector. This multi-author volume covers key areas such as fund transfer pricing product, problem-loan assumptions, understanding and applying funds transfer pricing, derivatives, measuring interest rate risk, stress testing and modeling of market risk. |

asset liability management alm: 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 |

Papaioannou, 2019-12-27 This paper provides an overview of the strategic and operational issues as well as institutional challenges, related to the implementation of the Sovereign Asset and Liability Management (SALM) approach. Application of an SALM framework allows the authorities to identify and monitor sovereign exposure mismatches; increase resilience to foreign currency and interest rate risks; and thus, strengthen financial stability; and implement more cost-effective management of the public-sector debt. The analysis is based on emerging market (EM) countries and illustrated by the experience of Uruguay, using data as of end-2017. |
asset liability management alm: The xVA Challenge Jon Gregory, 2015-10-26 A detailed, expert-driven guide to today's major financial point of interest The xVA Challenge: Counterparty Credit Risk, Funding, Collateral, and Capital is a practical guide from one of the leading and most influential credit practitioners, Jon Gregory. Focusing on practical methods, this informative guide includes discussion around the latest regulatory requirements, market practice, and academic thinking. Beginning with a look at the emergence of counterparty risk during the recent global financial crisis, the discussion delves into the quantification of firm-wide credit exposure and risk mitigation methods, such as netting and collateral. It also discusses thoroughly the xVA terms, notably CVA, DVA, FVA, ColVA, and KVA and their interactions and overlaps. The discussion of other aspects such as wrong-way risks, hedging, stress testing, and xVA management within a financial institution are covered. The extensive coverage and detailed treatment of what has become an urgent topic makes this book an invaluable reference for any practitioner, policy maker, or student. Counterparty credit risk and related aspects such as funding, collateral, and capital have become key issues in recent years, now generally characterized by the term 'xVA'. This book provides practical, in-depth guidance toward all aspects of xVA management. Market practice around counterparty credit risk and credit and debit value adjustment (CVA and DVA) The latest regulatory developments including Basel III capital requirements, central clearing, and mandatory collateral requirements The impact of accounting requirements such as IFRS 13 Recent thinking on the applications of funding, collateral, and capital adjustments (FVA, ColVA and KVA) The sudden realization of extensive counterparty risks has severely compromised the health of global financial markets. It's now a major point of action for all financial institutions, which have realized the growing importance of consistent treatment of collateral, funding, and capital alongside counterparty risk. The xVA Challenge: Counterparty Credit Risk, Funding, Collateral, and Capital provides expert perspective and real-world guidance for today's institutions. |

asset liability management alm: Risk-sensitive Investment Management Mark H A Davis, Sebastien Lleo, 2014-07-21 Over the last two decades, risk-sensitive control has evolved into an innovative and successful framework for solving dynamically a wide range of practical investment management problems.This book shows how to use risk-sensitive investment management to manage portfolios against an investment benchmark, with constraints, and with assets and liabilities. It also addresses model implementation issues in parameter estimation and numerical methods. Most importantly, it shows how to integrate jump-diffusion processes which are crucial to model market crashes.With its emphasis on the interconnection between mathematical techniques and real-world problems, this book will be of interest to both academic researchers and money managers. Risk-sensitive investment management links stochastic control and portfolio management. Because of its distinct emphasis on integrating advanced theoretical concepts into practical dynamic investment management tools, this book stands out from the existing literature in fundamental ways. It goes beyond mainstream research in portfolio management in a traditional static setting. The theoretical developments build on contemporary research in stochastic control theory, but are informed throughout by the need to construct an effective and practical framework for dynamic portfolio management.This book fills a gap in the literature by connecting mathematical techniques with the real world of investment management. Readers seeking to solve key problems such as benchmarked asset management or asset and liability management will certainly find it useful. |

asset liability management alm: Market-Valuation Methods in Life and Pension Insurance Thomas Møller, Mogens Steffensen, 2007-01-18 In classical life insurance mathematics the obligations of the insurance company towards the policy holders were calculated on artificial conservative assumptions on mortality and interest rates. However, this approach is being superseded by developments in international accounting and solvency standards coupled with other advances enabling a market-based valuation of risk, i.e., its price if traded in a free market. The book describes these approaches, and is the first to explain them in conjunction with more traditional methods. The various chapters address specific aspects of market-based valuation. The exposition integrates methods and results from financial and insurance mathematics, and is based on the entries in a life insurance company's market accounting scheme. The book will be of great interest and use to students and practitioners who need an introduction to this area, and who seek a practical yet sound guide to life insurance accounting and product development. |
