Balance sheet management requires a thorough understanding of the strategic objectives, constraints, the regulatory environment and future challenges of various types of institutional investors. Balance sheet objectives and risks are subsequently translated into a deeper understanding of the key risk exposures of these investors. Risks can be managed on either side of the balance sheet, with a dominant role for dynamic investment strategies and financial derivatives to alter the balance sheet’s risk profile. Participants get to test their knowledge by addressing realistic balance sheet management case studies.
