Is your bank ready for a rising rate environment? Interest rates have been at historically low levels for several years now, which has led to margin compression throughout the banking industry. But a rising rate scenario isn’t necessarily a solution to that problem, depending on how the bank has structured its balance sheet. This video will provide a broad overview of how interest rates impact a typical bank, review the fundamentals of asset/liability management and identify the questions that bank boards should be asking management about how rising rates would affect their institution.
Topics include:
- What Is Interest Rate Risk?
- Asset/Liability Management
- Solutions to Address Interest Rate Risk
A glossary of banking terms is included with each video unit.
