The CAS Bank Treasury Risk Management and The BTRM Certificate of Bank Treasury Risk Management is a six-month part-time course designed to empower individuals working in, or intending to work in, every aspect of bank balance sheet risk management and asset-liability management (ALM).

  • Asset-liability management is the core discipline in banking, and one that must be mastered by every bank, irrespective of its operating model or product suite. Following the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank collapses, the BTRM emphasises a strong adherence to conservative principles of capital and liquidity management – the traditional role of the Treasury function in a bank.
  • In light of these crises regulatory activities further increased with regulators expecting an even stronger governance over this function raising the need for enhanced knowledge of organizational optimization.
  • BTRM is practitioner led, developed and orientated, and enables students to acquire an advanced-level understanding on the core process of bank ALM governance and liquidity risk management. Practitioners will be able to apply best-practice techniques to measure ALM risks and formulate strategies for management of these risks at their employing institutions.
Programme Goals

The programme will prepare and enable students to become highly competent managers in a number of areas of finance including asset and liability management, liquidity management, regulatory capital management, hedging, risk management and other finance topics relevant for bank treasury management / ALM. The programme will integrate theory and practice to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of real-world bank ALM and risk management practices and their application in financial markets.
