Asset & Liability Management (ALM) with Capital Planning and Stress Testing Masterclass

Hands-on ALM with capital planning and stress testing — practical workshops, best-practice risk reports and a crisis stress simulation to optimise a real balance sheet.

The programme

Every risk measurement tool has practical disadvantages, and the ALM function that cannot name them will misuse them. This masterclass takes professionals from across the bank — customer-facing teams, middle management and senior leadership, alongside auditors and regulators — through the issues and challenges of asset-liability management with an insistently practical bias: samples of best-practice risk reports, hands-on workshops on rate-risk measurement and liquidity stress testing, and one sample bank used throughout so that measurement, reporting and hedging examples compare cleanly. The cohort works through balance-sheet dynamics, liquidity governance and forecasting, Value at Risk and cash-flow techniques, regulatory capital rules, and interest-rate stress testing — finishing with a crisis stress-testing simulation in which participants optimise the bank’s ALM position. Concepts are built from first principles, so no advanced quantitative background is required.

What you will do

Map the dynamics of your balance sheet, identifying the key risk factors acting on it and how to minimise them.
Measure and hedge interest-rate and liquidity exposures, with the practical trade-offs of each tool made explicit.
Run liquidity governance, forecasting and stress testing to the standard supervisors expect.
Apply cash-flow management and Value at Risk techniques across all forms of financial exposure.
Benchmark your current ALM practice and build an action plan to bring it to the highest standard.
Optimise a bank’s ALM position under a severe crisis simulation, applying the full toolkit on the final day.

Who attends

  • Chief Risk Officers and heads of liquidity, market risk and treasury

  • ICAAP and ILAAP programme directors and project managers
  • Basel III project managers and capital management teams
  • Middle managers and rising leaders across the bank

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

Do I need an advanced quantitative background to attend?

No. Concepts are built from first principles, so no advanced quantitative background is required. The masterclass is designed for professionals from across the bank — customer-facing teams, middle management and senior leadership, alongside auditors and regulators — and its practical bias keeps every technique anchored in risk reports and workshops rather than abstract mathematics.

What does the crisis stress-testing simulation involve?

The programme closes with a crisis simulation in which participants optimise the bank’s ALM position, applying the full toolkit built over the course: balance-sheet dynamics, rate-risk measurement, liquidity stress testing and Value at Risk techniques. It draws on risk-analysis lessons from recent global crises, so the pressure being tested is the kind supervisors actually apply.

How practical is the ALM training?

Insistently practical. The masterclass uses samples of best-practice risk reports, hands-on workshops on rate-risk measurement and liquidity stress testing, and one sample bank throughout, so measurement, reporting and hedging examples compare cleanly. Participants also benchmark their current ALM practice and leave with an action plan to bring it to the highest standard.

Is the ALM masterclass available in-house and in French?

Yes to both. BIZENIUS programmes are delivered in English and French, and every programme is available in-house, tailored to your bank’s balance sheet, risk profile and supervisory expectations. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are shared on enquiry — do get in touch to discuss your cohort.
