Liquidity & Funding Strategies for the Current Environment

The Federal Reserve lowered short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in September, following a decline in intermediate rates since the start of the year. While lower rates may provide some relief on funding costs, the earnings, liquidity and interest-rate risk pressures that have been front and center for the last few years remain. 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 Thursday, October 16, 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 strategies and solutions; Caroline Casavant, senior financial strategist; and Tyler Buckeridge, sales and strategies specialist.

Webinar Topics:

• An exploration of the end of Quantitative Easing, how shifting Fed policy may impact the parts of the market that are most relevant to banks and credit unions, and funding strategies that could benefit in different scenarios.
• A historical lookback at loan and deposit growth rates at different parts of the economic cycles, and lessons that can be learned on how to position the balance sheet going forward in this similar environment.
• 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.
