A programme designed to progress with you

Module 1

Funds Transfer Pricing for Financial Institutions

Build a strong practical grounding in FTP and sharpen your approach to product pricing, profitability and balance-sheet management. Ideal for newcomers and practitioners looking to strengthen their core knowledge.

Module 2

Advanced Funds Transfer Pricing for Financial Institutions

Take your FTP expertise further with advanced techniques for deposits, derivatives and complex funding exposures. Designed for delegates who have completed Module 1 or bring equivalent practical knowledge.

Build your expertise across both modules and save 15%—or book the module that fits your experience and goals.

Build your knowledge across both modules

Module 1 establishes the core framework: how FTP transfers risk internally, how curves are constructed, and how funding and liquidity costs inform pricing, balance-sheet decisions and performance. Module 2 builds on that grounding through advanced deposit analysis, derivatives, contingent facilities, illiquid assets and regulatory liquidity metrics.

Attend both modules for the complete progression and save 15% on the combined standalone fees of US$4,000 — a saving of US$600.

Flexible booking for institutions

The combined fee applies to one place on each module booked together. One delegate may attend all three days, or an institution may nominate different colleagues for the two modules. The delegate attending Module 2 should have the prior knowledge described on the following page.

Choose the right module

Module 1 · Core

Module 1 for core understanding and practical application

Choose the two-day Funds Transfer Pricing course if FTP is new to you, if your exposure has been limited to one part of the process, or if you would benefit from a structured review of the core concepts. This module is also suitable for practitioners seeking to connect FTP more effectively with pricing, profitability and balance-sheet management.

Module 2 · Advanced

Module 2 for experienced FTP practitioners

The advanced course proceeds directly into advanced themes and applications. It is intended for delegates who have completed Module 1 or have equivalent practical knowledge of FTP. It should not be treated as an introductory course for someone new to the subject.

Before booking Module 2 on its own

Before booking Module 2 on its own, delegates should be comfortable with:

  • The purpose of FTP and liquidity transfer pricing, and their relationship with ALM and centralised risk management.
  • Pooled and matched-maturity FTP approaches, the components of a transfer price, and the interpretation of FTP curves.
  • Applying FTP to asset and liability pricing, including fixed and floating rates and deposit pricing.
  • The role of FTP in balance-sheet management, business-unit profitability and performance measurement.

If these concepts are unfamiliar, or your experience is mainly theoretical, we recommend attending Module 1 before progressing to Module 2. Experienced delegates with an established grounding may book the advanced module separately.

The full program for a connected learning journey

Choose both modules if you want to move from the core FTP framework to its more demanding applications, with the same course director throughout. The combined booking provides continuity across the three days and the 15% saving.

Module 1 · IFN2701

Module 1: Funds Transfer Pricing for Financial Institutions

6–7 April 2027 · 2 days · US$2,500

Why this course?

The Global Financial Crisis of 2007–09 provided a powerful reminder of the critical importance of Funds Transfer Pricing. Many banks entered the crisis with inadequate internal pricing of funding and liquidity, weak incentives at the business-unit level, and limited transparency over where interest rate and liquidity risks truly resided. Institutions that lacked robust FTP frameworks found it difficult to manage funding stress, assess true profitability, or align business decisions with balance-sheet constraints.

Today, FTP is recognised as a core internal discipline, not only for managing funding, liquidity, and interest rate risk, but also for accurate product pricing, performance measurement, capital allocation, and incentive alignment. Regulators increasingly expect banks to demonstrate that FTP frameworks are well-designed, consistently applied, and embedded in governance, risk appetite, and ALM decision-making.

An effective FTP framework connects funding and liquidity costs with product pricing, business-unit performance and balance-sheet strategy. It helps institutions translate risk-management objectives into day-to-day commercial decisions, giving business units clearer incentives and a more accurate understanding of the costs and risks associated with their activities.

This intensive 2-day course provides clear, practical, and implementation-focused instruction in FTP concepts, curve construction, and applications, aligned with current best practice. The programme makes extensive use of illustrations, worked examples, and case studies to connect theory with real-world banking practice. A highly interactive format encourages participants to engage directly with the material, clarify challenges specific to their institutions, and gain deeper insight into how FTP supports both regulatory compliance and commercial performance.

Key Learning Objectives & Takeaways

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand what FTP is, why it matters, and how it supports funding, liquidity, and interest rate risk management
  • Build and interpret FTP curves, including pooled and matched-maturity approaches
  • Use FTP to price assets and liabilities competitively while fully reflecting funding and liquidity costs

Course Wrap-up

Module 2 · IFN2702

Module 2: Advanced Funds Transfer Pricing for Financial Institutions

8 April 2027 · 1 day · US$1,500

Why this course?

Funds Transfer Pricing plays a central role in how banks price products, allocate funding and liquidity costs, and manage interest rate risk. While it is relatively straightforward to implement FTP for many on-balance-sheet products, banks typically carry material off-balance-sheet exposures, such as derivatives, contingent credit facilities, and other commitments, that are significantly more complex to analyse and price. At the same time, deposits remain a core funding source for most banks and require robust behavioural analysis to distinguish stable funding from volatile balances and to correctly capture withdrawal risk within the FTP framework.

This advanced programme focuses on the most challenging and judgement-intensive aspects of FTP implementation. Through worked examples and practical case studies, the course examines:

  • The FTP treatment of derivatives and revolving credit products
  • Advanced deposit FTP, including behavioural tranching and withdrawal optionality
  • The construction and calibration of FTP curves in complex funding environments

The programme also explores how FTP interacts with centralised interest rate risk management, liquidity risk stress testing, and regulatory liquidity metrics such as LCR and NSFR. Particular attention is paid to how FTP translates funding and liquidity constraints into product-level pricing and business decisions, supporting sound risk management and regulatory compliance. The emphasis throughout is on practical computation and real-world application, equipping participants with the skills needed to apply FTP consistently and comprehensively across the full product spectrum, including complex and non-standard exposures.

Key Learning Outcomes and Takeaways

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Apply FTP to off-balance-sheet exposures, including derivatives and revolving credit facilities, using economically equivalent funded positions
  • Implement advanced deposit FTP, including behavioural tranching and withdrawal risk analysis in competitive deposit markets
  • Construct and calibrate FTP curves in complex funding environments, including blended wholesale product rates and foreign currency funding
  • Apply FTP consistently within centralised interest rate and liquidity risk management, and understand its impact on LCR and NSFR

Who will benefit from this course?

This advanced program is designed for experienced practitioners involved in FTP design, validation, and application, including:

  • Chief risk officers
  • Financial risk managers and risk analysts
  • Treasury analysts and ALM managers
  • Market and liquidity risk managers
  • Credit risk managers and analysts
  • Quantitative analysts
  • Structuring and derivatives professionals
  • Internal audit and model validation teams
  • Supervisors, regulators and risk standard setter

Please note: To gain the maximum benefit from this advanced-level program, participants are strongly encouraged to have a solid understanding of the core principles of FTP. Prior attendance at our Funds Transfer Pricing course is recommended, or equivalent practical experience of FTP within a financial institution.
