| | A/L Management for Turbulent Times Part I | | April 21 - 21 2010 |
| Many financial institution executives began their current leadership positions years after the President Jimmy Carter era of double-digit interest rates and stagflation, when certificates of deposit often paid rates of 20% or more. Today’s steep yield curve, as well as other economic factors, suggests an impending reversal of the unprecedented low interest rate environment of the past few years. FI executives facing shrinking net interest margins, rising loan losses and asset market value depreciation may be tempted to “reach for yield” by unsoundly extending asset maturities, buying temporary earnings by assuming outsized risk. All regulatory bodies, as well as other experienced industry professionals who have knowledge of the past, are sounding the warning bells in 2010. This session will inform you of the pending interest rate risk escalation as well as give you practical “best practices” guidance to be prepared. | | | | |
