Due to a heavily regulated landscape and increasing competition for resources such as liquidity and capital, financial institutions -- especially banks -- are driven to constantly search for ways to run a more sophisticated ALM operation. As a result, the role of the ALM unit has to constantly evolve, extending beyond the risk management field. On top of the unit's traditional function of managing risk associated to the banking book, it now has to manage the regulatory capital of the bank and actively position the balance sheet to maximize profit. These contemporary challenges call for ALM optimization techniques, more particularly, ways to optimize the banking book using a quantifiable approach. The proposed book promotes active management of the banking book through optimization techniques presented in the book that effectively combine interest rate risk and liquidity risk management into one holistic approach"-- Provided by publisher
