ALM and Treasury Risk Management Masterclass

Duration, gap and yield-curve discipline for treasury ALM — Basel standardised risk measures, FX and derivatives hedging, and managing the true cost of the liability side.

The programme

The liability side has a cost, and most treasury pain starts when nobody manages it: funding costs, yield curves and the risks bound into them. This masterclass works through the Basel framework’s standardised risk measures and their market-risk impacts, and how duration-based metrics manage asset-liability risk in practice. Participants apply gap analysis across maturing and non-maturing assets and liabilities, measurement techniques using ladders, duration and net present value, and practical FX and derivatives risk measures for both assessment and hedging. Sessions set treasury management against ALM, covering the strategic role and scope of the function, market volatility, regulation within the international framework, and the ratings and credit spreads of Libor and Euribor banks over time.

Hedge with practical FX and derivatives risk measures, for risk assessment and protection alike.
Manage funding costs against the yield curve, tracking ratings and credit spreads of Libor and Euribor banks over time.

Frequently asked

Which measurement techniques are taught?

Participants apply gap analysis across maturing and non-maturing assets and liabilities, and measurement using ladders, duration and net present value — the duration-based metrics that manage asset-liability risk in practice. The Basel framework’s standardised risk measures and their market-risk impacts anchor the regulatory side.

Does the course cover hedging and funding costs?

Yes. It works through practical FX and derivatives risk measures for both assessment and hedging, and treats the liability side as a cost to be managed: funding costs against the yield curve, and the ratings and credit spreads of Libor and Euribor banks over time.

What are the delivery options?

The masterclass is delivered in English and French, with an in-house edition tailored to your institution’s balance sheet and treasury framework. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.

Who teaches this

Practitioners, not presenters.

Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.

What the bench brings

  • ALCO practice and treasury policy
  • Funds transfer pricing design and restructuring
  • IRRBB measurement: EVE and NII sensitivity
  • Liquidity risk: LCR, NSFR and contingency funding
  • Behavioural modelling of deposits and mortgages
  • Balance-sheet forecasting for executive committees

Where they have practised

Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.

Sectors: Banking & financial services · Professional services · Central banking & supervision · Insurance

Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas

How they teach

  • Live case studies from real institutions
  • Worked exercises on realistic bank data
  • Regulator-style challenge sessions
  • Group problem-solving on realistic institutional cases
  • Knowledge checks and a personal action plan

Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
