Treasury Markets & Products

SIDC CPE-approved: 10 CPE Points

Date: 5^th & 6^th March 2024
Venue: Kuala Lumpur

Classroom Training

COURSE BACKGROUND

As financial markets rapidly develop, the role of a financial institution’s treasury has never been more important. Bank risks have increased in recent years with the main theme evolving around principles for sound liquidity management. Treasury functions have also advanced from ‘normal’ trading and investment scenarios, meaning it is essential for treasury managers to keep themselves updated with the latest developments. The impact of current issues may be different for individual banks having their own unique treasury setups, but fundamentally it is essential to know that the main purpose and objectives of the department remains the same: that is to ensure that the bank’s business stays robust and funding liquidity is kept stable.

This two-day course will equip participants with the proper comprehensive knowledge and tools to effectively manage treasury. Participants will be given a firsthand insight as to how the department is structured and will be reintroduced to the core, generic treasury products that are used primarily to manage financial resources. The course includes identifying important aspects of treasury such as foreign exchange hedging and trades, interest rate gaping, cash flow positioning, money market investments, as well as assets and liabilities management responsibilities (ALCO). Throughout the course, practical examples will be provided together with detailed calculation exercises to ensure that participants fully understand the major concepts and applications.

With today’s treasury managers expected to identify and manage different sets of bank and market risks, the final part of the course emphasizes treasury risk management. In addition, with new financial landscapes and market dynamics fully embracing digitalization, thereby reducing costs and delivering faster turnaround times, technology must be understood and embraced as treasury functions continue to adapt to the management of liquidity and risk.

Key Learning Outcomes:
- Assess the role and workings of financial markets.
- Evaluate the role of treasury and asset/liability management and governance.
- Understand cash management, liquidity investment and funding for banks.
- Understand key risks: market, credit and operational.
- Learn about interest rates and how they influence banks and financial markets.
- Learn how to use hedging tools to manage market and interest rate risk.
- Gain in-depth knowledge of hedging structures and products in use in banks today.

This fully updated course will provide the opportunity for a high level of interactive discussion, analysis of worked examples and case studies, and thorough instruction in techniques which can be applied in everyday use to meet treasury function needs.
