Hear from Dr. Donald van Deventer, Managing Director--Risk Research and Quantitative Solutions at SAS, and Professor Robert Jarrow of Cornell University's SC Johnson College of Business as we continue our discussion of the current banking climate as it relates to integrated balance sheet management — and specifically asset and liability management (ALM).
This special two-part podcast series will explore conditions under which a bank is at risk of a "run" by looking internally at their assets and liabilities. We will also consider how to model simulations to project when assets will become negative relative to liabilities and determine how to ensure resiliency within financial institutions.
Part 1 of this series will tackle the following topics:
- Introduction to deposit models for FDIC insurance
- How to handle hedging and mismatched balance sheets
- Determining what analytical methods are essential to "doing it right"
- An introduction to non-maturity demand deposit runoff that will be a key component for part 2 of this series
