Asset and Liability Management in Financial Institutions
The Asset and Liability Management (ALM) function is responsible for the efficient management of the financial resources of a financial institution. It manages structural balance sheet risks, including interest rate risk, structural foreign exchange and collateral risk, as well as the risks associated liquidity and funding.
Liquidity management, funding management and capital management are key areas of ALM helping to:
- ensure that financial institutions always have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions.
- maintain a balanced portfolio of liabilities that is broadly diversified by market, product and – if necessary - currency.
- efficiently manage a financial institution’s capital and to fulfill, monitor and forecast regulatory capital requirements.
Based on their in depth understanding of liquidity, capital and funding and the respective needs of financial institutions in the context of different market environments, ALM / Treasury specialists play a key role for the long-term, but also short-term success of a financial institution.
