ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT SEMINAR
The risk management landscape is changing rapidly. Greater recognition of risk exposure and more sophisticated techniques to measure and control risk are resulting in new regulation, new capital requirements, new account standards, and new Solvency II framework. Asset Management has fundamentally changed as a result. Innovative ALM strategies are being called upon to address the some of greatest challenges faced by the insurance and pension industries:
- implementation of Solvency II
- unhedged in-the-money embedded derivatives in insurance liabilities
- volatile solvency ratios and contribution rates in pension plans
- fixed income assets not available to match long liability cash flows
- interest rates at historic low

CASE STUDY
The case study approach will be used heavily throughout this course.
Participants will interact with other industry professionals and learn through doing. Small workgroups will be assigned for the case studies. Some case studies will require the use of a laptop computer.
APPLICATIONS
Applications are hands-on training exercises where participants learn by applying tools and techniques to real life examples.
The excercises in the application sessions are designed to be completed
by each participant individually. All applications require the use of a laptop
computer. ALM tools and analytics will be provided.COURSE SCHEDULE
