Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sharp increase in U.S. interest rates that began in the late 1970's and early 1980's as well as in October 1993 focused increased attention on interest rate risk, especially in mortgage backed and derivative securities. more than ever, life insurance companies need to control interest rate risk through asset-liability management.

The implementation of this management tool encountered severe difficulties because insurers have focused on accounting values. To effectively manage insurers' interest rate exposure, a new perspective in asset-liability management must be economic value oriented. Current trends in the overall world market suggest a very high likelihood to move in that direction.

Download or read book Bank Asset Liability Management Best Practice written by Polina Bardaeva and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Bank Asset Liability Management Best Practice delves into the philosophy of ALM, discusses the interrelation of processes inside the bank, and argues that every little change in one aspect of the bank processes has an impact on its other parts. The author discusses the changing role of ALM and its historical and current concepts, its strengths and weaknesses, and future threats and opportunities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The underlying theme of this volume is how to invest assets over time to achieve satisfactory returns subject to uncertainties, various constraints and liability commitments. Most investors, be they individuals or institutions, do not diversify properly across markets nor across time. The papers utilize several approaches and integrate a number of techniques as well as discussing a variety of models that have either been implemented, are close to being implemented, or represent new innovative approaches that may lead to future novel applications. Other issues address the future of asset-liability management modeling. This includes models for individuals, and various financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies. This will lead to custom products, that is, financial engineering. All in all, this will be essential reading for all involved in analysing the financial markets.
