ALM Education: For Those Who Need To Sweat The Details
Jun 16-19, 2020
Phoenix, AZ
Finance teams have a unique challenge in that their institutions rely on them to deeply understand the ins and outs of ALM.
Day 1: Setting the Foundation
Day one in classroom style is designed to provide a basic understanding of ALM methodologies and assumptions while providing useful ways to communicate how the numbers connect to your credit union’s strategy.
We will address simple concepts of:
- What risks you would want to measure and how to evaluate those risks
- NEV, Static Balance Sheet, Long-Term Risks to Earnings and Net Worth: Understanding the results and how to use them
- What assumptions are needed for different methodologies
- Understanding profitability by asset category
- Introduction of Napkin Math to evaluate the reasonableness of answers
Days 2-4: Methodologies, Assumptions, and Messaging
Days two through four are designed to break down and simplify the complex web of methodologies and assumptions using real-world scenarios and modeling what-ifs. This interactive format allows for learning practical ways to communicate how the numbers connect to strategy.
We will address questions we often hear, such as:
- What does each common ALM modeling methodology tell us – or not tell us?
- What are the top 10 observations from model validations?
- What are proven practices for creating reasonable modeling assumptions and identifying key issues in our model setup?
- What are advanced approaches for creating strategies to optimize sustainable earnings and remain within our established risk limits?
- How can we calculate our strategic net worth requirements in order to communicate risks to net worth in aggregate?
- What questions should we consider when quantifying our liquidity needs?
- What are practical ways to help other decision-makers see the short- and long-term financial impact of our strategic plan?
- What are credit unions being asked by examiners about their ALM process?
Our engaging instructors work with hundreds of financial institutions. Bring your questions. They will be ready to answer them.
