Post-crisis regulation, Basel III above all, put a standing tax on return on equity — and made optimisation of assets and liabilities the treasury’s defining task. Meanwhile the FX and money markets, worth trillions of dollars, remain the pivot of the financial system: funding, investment and the conduit between every other market. This masterclass builds a working command of both. It covers the role of the ALM function and the evolution of the ALCO process, money market products, forward rates for interest and FX, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps, and the consequences of low and negative rates for IRR management. The cohort applies analytical skills to the key products and the risk management issues that come with them.

Frequently asked
Which instruments does the masterclass cover?
Money market products, forward rates for both interest rates and FX, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps — treated as risk management tools rather than just trading instruments. The cohort applies analytical skills to each product and to the risk management issues that come with it.
How does the course link the markets to ALM?
It covers the role of the ALM function within the bank and the evolution of the ALCO process, then shows how balance-sheet optimisation under Basel III depends on the FX and money markets for funding and investment. The consequences of low and negative rates for interest-rate risk management are worked through explicitly.
How are dates, languages and fees handled?
The masterclass is delivered in English and French, with sessions on a rolling calendar and dates confirmed on request. Fees and quotations are shared on enquiry, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your treasury’s balance sheet, markets and product set.
