Asset-Liability ManagementOpportunities:
Interest Rate view Managers who have expectations of interest rate
changes will seek to profit from funding!
If Interest rates rise
What position should you have?
If interest rates fall
What position should you have?
Asset-Liability ManagementOpportunities:
Interest Rate view Managers who have expectations of interest rate
changes will seek to profit from funding!
If Interest rates rise
DI will benefit if it has borrowed long & lent short because when interest rates will rise its cost will remain unchanged but will be able to lend at a higher rate!
If interest rates fall
DI will benefit if it has borrowed short & lent long!
Asset-Liability Management Threats of positioning:
Adverse financial consequences
If expectations are not realized, Huge losses can occur
No one can predict interest rates consistently
Highly risky
Becomes same as gambling
Long run losses highly likely

Try Locking in the spread
(By not trying to bet on interest rate movements, focus should solely be on earning from the spread not on interest rate movements)
Minimize interest rate exposure
(By investing in assets & Liabilities of similar maturity ranges)
Various financial instruments used to manage risk
(Examples include interest rate options, swaps & forwards)
