The Application of Derivatives by Banks to Manage Risk and Increase Net Income
A Two-Part Online Training Program
Date: 26th & 27th August 2020
2.00 - 5.00 (KL/Singapore time)
PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
Derivatives are an essential tool for managing risk. Banks commonly use derivatives to manage interest rate risk in the banking book, to transform the risk profiles of their investment portfolios, and to transfer away unwanted foreign currency exposure which is not core to their business objectives. However, derivatives’ use extends further. Banks also increasingly use derivatives to provide structured hedging solutions for their clients, which generates high fee income for bank shareholders.
This course provides an excellent opportunity for bankers from all departments to gain practice-based insights into how derivatives work, and how banks use them to manage their own risks, and the risks of their clients. The course explains complex ideas in simple ways, drawing from the experience of the instructor in risk management on the derivatives buy-side, and as a derivatives structurer and quantitative analyst on the derivatives sell-side.
This course provides the opportunity for a high level of interactive discussion aided by case studies, and provides thorough instruction in techniques to manage bank risks, reduce funding costs, and run a successful business delivering client-solutions to generate income.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Learn how banks apply derivatives to manage FX risks and interest rate risks
- Understand how derivatives are applied to adjust the risk profile of a bank’s capital structure and in particular, to reduce funding costs
- Learn how banks generate income from derivatives in the provision of client hedging and investment management services

EXPERT COURSE DIRECTOR
Dr Ken Baldwin
Former Director, Financial Policies & Planning, Islamic Development Bank
Dr. Ken Baldwin has worked as a practitioner in banking and finance for over 25 years in senior positions spanning the front and middle offices. Having graduated from Oxford University with a first-class honors degree in Physics in 1989, he qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PWC, before joining UBS, and then later Credit Suisse, in derivatives risk and control functions based in London.
He gained a PhD in the microeconomic theory of risk sharing in Islamic contracts, and worked in the GCC for 15 years in Islamic retail and Islamic investment banks. Whilst at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Dr. Ken built an ALM analytic technology platform capable of capturing liquidity and interest rate risks inherent in the many varied Islamic financing products used at retail and corporate levels. He then moved to take up the position of MENA Regional Head of Quantitative Analysis for Citigroup. At Citicorp, Dr. Ken worked on structuring complex products used by Gulf-regional corporations to hedge FX and interest risks. Still residing in Bahrain, Dr. Ken then joined Investcorp, where he worked on the risk due diligence of corporate private equity and real estate private equity transactions and portfolio management. After leaving Investcorp, he set up the risk management department for venture capital bank, providing Basel III compliance and deal analysis for the bank. He then operationalized a new Islamic investment bank as its Chief Operating Officer for 3 years, before his most recent industry role at the Islamic Development Bank, where he set up and ran a new department tasked with developing Financial Policies and Planning underpinned by robust financial analytic tools and methodologies designed specifically for the IDB. Dr. Ken is currently a senior university lecturer in finance in the UK. He has published quantitative finance articles in peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal of Risk, and during his earlier career, taught CFA and FRM professional certifications as a pastime for the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance.
