Advanced Asset Liability Management
Measuring & Managing Complex Risks for Financial Institutions
A Two-Part, Online Course

Date:  15th & 16th November 2021

COURSE INTRODUCTION

Sound asset-liability management is crucial if banks are in future to avoid the pitfalls highlighted by the global financial crisis 2007-9. Banks failed for very basic reasons, including liquidity mismanagement, and financial product complexity. Financial innovations and a fast-changing economic environment provide opportunities to gain, but can also create significant risks. Managing these risks without losing sight of getting the basics right is what good ALM is all about.

This is an advanced ALM course designed to deliver most benefit to practitioners with some pre-existing practical or academic knowledge of asset-liability management. Whilst the course covers the basics of ALM to remind delegates of the most important techniques applied to measure and manage interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and currency risk, its focus is on developing a deeper understanding of the many varied and sometimes complex challenges that risk managers face, in particular risk capture and hedging decisions.

The course provides ample opportunity for a high level of interactive discussion, and delegates are invited to ask questions based on the course material itself, or aspects of practical risk management they face in their professional roles for which they seek clarification/advice.

Key Takeaways & Learning Objectives:

  • Gain insights into solutions to more complex aspects of asset-liability management
  • Learn about a range of modelling techniques at the forefront of ALM
  • Develop skills to design appropriate hedges which are suited to managing particular exposures

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 microeconomics, and worked in the GCC for 15 years in retail and 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 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 derivatives products used by Gulf-regional corporations to hedge FX and interest rate 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 risk-based pricing of the bank’s Islamic financing products. Dr. Ken is currently an Assistant Professor of Finance in the UK. He has published quantitative finance articles in peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal of International Financial Markets Institutions and Money, and 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.
