by
Orlando Hanselman, Education Programs Director, Risk and Performance Solutions, Fiserv
The recent world-wide subprime related financial crisis has sent forth a clarion warning call to all financial institutions regarding the perils of liquidity risk. The structural undertow of these dangerous waters, however, had been circulating for years. Optionality and funding risk is prevalent within every balance sheet. Despite unprecedented low cost of deposits, net interest margins remain compressed from past norms. Evolving regulations have been designed to force increasingly liquid balance sheets, in-depth contingency planning, greater robustness in measurement of liquidity adequacy and enhanced stress testing. Measuring, managing and
optimizing liquidity is now a much needed expertise. The learning objectives of this session are:
• Discover current trends affecting liquidity risk
• Gain practical insights into liquidity risk measurement & management
• Acquire basic tools for creating a liquidity plan
