Mastering Treasury Risk & ALM: Strategies for Bank Balance Sheet Optimisation

Treasury risk and ALM from foundation to application — IRRBB, liquidity metrics, hedging and simulation-based stress testing for the bank balance sheet.

The programme

A bank’s balance sheet is optimised or eroded in treasury, one repricing and funding decision at a time. This masterclass builds a solid foundation in treasury risk, ALM and bank balance-sheet management, pairing theory with the practical skill to apply ALM strategies inside a financial institution. The cohort works through interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB), liquidity metrics including the LCR and NSFR and the funding strategies behind them, regulatory frameworks from Basel II and III/IV to ICAAP and ILAAP, and hedging with derivatives, swaps and futures. Simulation-based learning — ALM modelling, stress testing and scenario analysis — and case studies from global banking crises anchor it all in practice.

Keep pace with Basel II, III/IV, ICAAP and ILAAP, and the compliance they require of the balance sheet.
Hedge with derivatives, swaps and futures against interest rate risk, currency risk and market fluctuations.
Run ALM modelling, stress testing and scenario analysis hands-on, drawing on case studies from global banking crises.
Weigh risk–reward trade-offs in financial decisions that raise profitability without loosening risk management.

Who attends

  • Treasury, risk and capital management teams
  • ALM and ALCO professionals, corporate treasurers and dealers
  • Finance professionals, financial controllers and accountants

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