Event Details
Will the Fed achieve the ever sought after soft landing or will the economy fall into its next recession? 2024 brings plenty of uncertainty following a year of significant pressures and challenges to balance sheets and net interest margins. Members of senior management now find themselves in an environment with higher interest rates, rising cost of funds, tighter liquidity levels, slowing loan demand, and the potential for an economic downturn. Being proactive and not reactive in balance sheet management and the ALCO process is paramount. Join us for an in-depth discussion of the following topics:
- Economic and Market Update — Review of current economic conditions and the outlook for growth, inflation, and interest rates
- The Fed’s Next Moves — Update on the rate outlook and likely next steps for Federal Reserve monetary policy
- Interest Rate Risk — How to ensure you are prepared for uncertain balance sheet challenges and a constantly changing regulatory focus
- Liquidity Risk Management — Tools and best practices for managing liquidity risk
- Investment Portfolio Strategies — Adapting your strategy and finding the best relative value for the rate environment
- MBS/CMO Market — Balancing prepayment and extension risk in a changing environment for mortgage securities
- Municipal Market Update — Thoughts and strategies on managing municipal credit risk and finding the best relative value
