Asset-Liability Management & Funding Strategies for the Current Environment

The Federal Reserve has lowered short-term interest rates by 175 basis points from the highs seen in 2024, and amidst economic and geopolitical uncertainty, the outlook for the yield curve remains as cloudy as ever. Higher net interest margins have been a welcome development, but the earnings, liquidity, and interest-rate risk pressures that have been front and center for the last few years are still present. With great uncertainty in the direction of monetary policy and the market environment, risk and return conditions for banks and credit unions are evolving as well.

Join us for a 45-minute webinar on Tuesday, March 31, at 11:00 a.m. to hear an in-depth analysis of asset/liability management and funding topics and strategies that are top of mind for many banks and credit unions.

You’ll have an opportunity to hear from three presenters: FHLBank Boston’s Andrew Paolillo, vice president, director of member lending & strategies; Caroline Casavant, senior financial strategist; and Tyler Buckeridge, sales and strategies specialist.

Webinar Topics:

• A look at interest-rate volatility and which asset, liability, and institution types may be most vulnerable if volatility increases, which stand to benefit, and how depositories can prepare
• Optimizing pricing on loans and deposits to assess potential prepayment risk and align exposures within the larger balance sheet structure and outlook
• Funding and investment strategies that can be supportive and complementary to risk and return objectives now and in the future as balance sheet conditions shift
