Aus dem Klappentext

If your institution s like most and your gap position (the difference between the repricing periods of a bank s assets and liabilities) is the only interest rate risk you currently measure then you should be warned: the regulators are coming. New banking regulations require that you keep a close eye not only on gap, but also on other key risks, less obvious on the balance sheet, such as basis risk and imbedded options. Simple gap analysis just isn t enough anymore. And that s just the beginning of what regulators are now asking for. But even though the array of available sophisticated simulation models and financial tools is bewildering you needn t worry, thanks to this remarkable how-to guide from two leading authorities of the asset/liability management world. Step by step, Bitner and Goddard take you through a

• Total framework for integrating your asset/liability management processes and putting them into action

That s why your financial institution needs to identify and measure the impact of a broad range of interest rate movements on its earnings and net value and why you need Successful Bank Asset/Liability Management.
