Balance Sheet Management - ECFS879
This unit addresses strategic issues that are fundamental to the management of a financial institution (FI). Does the FI have a sustainable and cost-effective funding base? What is the role of the Treasury and the Asset/Liability Committee? Is equity capital adequate for the business model? Are the non-traded market risks inherent in our banking products (eg, deposits, loans) adequately managed and priced? Is the system of transfer pricing and performance measurement within the FI creating the correct signals to help generate an adequate return for risks? The unit is an introduction to the practical management of a financial institution. The unit highlights the lessons learned in the global financial crisis and discusses recent regulatory trends. It will be of interest to all bankers and those who need to understand how modern banks operate in today's complex environment.
