| Kurzbeschreibung | Asset Liability Management (ALM) is key to the financial success of any corporation. The goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the nature of corporate balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions and related profits and losses, including identification and mitigation of undue risks taken. This course is geared towards preparing students to apply these concepts in practical settings. |
| Lernziel | The main learning objectives of this course are: - develop a comprehensive understanding of the nature of corporate balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions and their respective contribution to profits and losses - measure and assess exposures to risk factors such as interest and FX rates, equity and commodity prices, as well as liquidity events - trading and hedging to mitigate undue risks incurred |
| Inhalt | The course is organized around a series of case studies. We will first discuss and develop an understanding of the fundamentals on different aspects of the management and risk management of the balance sheet. Using real life case studies each concept will then be directly applied and tested. In-class discussions, presentations and one written assignment are used to facilitate active and interactive learning in a stimulating environment. During the case studies students will frequently work in small groups. Therefore, the number of participants is limited to 40. The course focuses on the application of finance concepts to the financial management of corporations and is geared towards preparing students to apply these concepts in practical settings. Executives of all sectors are expected to have a sound understanding of the content covered. As such, the course is not exclusively targeted at students who are considering a career in the financial services sector.
