The purpose of this seminar is to give you a good understanding of liquidity risk and of the tools and techniques for managing this type of risk.
We start with a general introduction to liquidity risk and explain the difference between “cash flow risk” and “market liquidity risk”. We explain how liquidity risk has become tightly integrated with market, credit and operational risk, and we give examples of how the complex interactions between these risks may result in major financial disasters and global liquidity crises, as was the case in the autumn of 1998 and again in 2007 during the “Subprime” crisis.
We then present and explain a number of tools for assessing liquidity risks, including liquidity risk indicators and cash flow projections. We look in detail into liquidity risk measurement within a financial institution using asset liquidity modelling, liquidity stress testing and long term liquidity profiling. We also explain how the liquidity risk of non-maturing assets and liabilities is linked to interest rate risk, and how this risk can be quantified using stochastic modelling techniques.
Further, we explain how liquidity risk can be managed within the context of an integrated risk management program. We review the latest regulatory developments for liquidity risk management, and we present a number of liquidity management tools, including “contingency planning” and financing instruments such as repos and money market facilities. We also explain how you can use “securitization” techniques to turn illiquid assets into marketable securities.
Finally, we look at liquidity costs and liquidity pricing factors, and we explain the process of “liquidity transfer pricing” in an ALM context.
The course will be highly practical and will provide you with tools that you can use in your day-to-day and strategic liquidity management.
