3.1.1 Asset-Liability Management Strategies
• Asset-Liability Management:
o Definition: coordinated and integrated decision making in managing asset and liability
portfolios
o Purpose: controlling a bank’s sensitivity to changes in market interest rates and limit its
losses in its net income or net worth.

• Yield curves:
o Definition: Graphical picture of relationship between yields and maturities on securities
(at a single point in time, assuming ceteris paribus)
14
3.1.2. Market Rates and Interest Rate Risk
• Yield curves:
o Shape of the yield curve
ü Upward – long-term rates higher than short-term rates (economic expansion)
ü Downward – short-term rates higher than long-term rates (economic recession)
ü Horizontal – short-term and long-term rates the same
o Shape of the yield curve and the maturity gap
ü Typical maturity gap of a bank: longer maturities of assets (loans & securities) than
liabilities (deposits)
ü Upward sloping yield curve benefits banks, generating positive net interest margin
ü Downward and horizontal yield curve put negative pressure in bank earnings
15
3.1.2. Market Rates and Interest Rate Risk
• Interest rate risk: is the potential loss from unexpected changes in interest rates which
can significantly alter a bank’s profitability and market value of equity, including:
o Reinvestment risk: If interest rates change, the bank will have to reinvest the cash flows
from assets or refinance rolled-over liabilities at a different interest rate in the future.
o Price risk: If interest rates change, the market values of assets and liabilities also change.

3.1.3 Interest-Sensitive Gap Management
• Goal of interest rate hedging: to insulate the bank from the damaging effects of
fluctuating interest rates on profits.
o Must concentrate on those interest-sensitive assets and liabilities
o To protect profits against adverse interest rate changes, management seeks to hold fixed
the net interest margin (NIM)

• Cumulative gap: The total difference in dollars RSA & RSL over a designated time period.
o E.g: RSA = $100m; RSL = $200m; subject to change each month over the next six months.
Cumulative gap =($100 million in RSA per month x 6) - ($200 million in RSL per month x 6)
= -$600 million.
o Suppose market interest rates suddenly rise by 1%, net interest income loss equals (+0.01) X
(-$600 million) = -$6 million
33
3.1.3 Interest-Sensitive Gap Management
• Cumulative gap: Based on cumulative gap concept, we can calculate approximately how NII
will be affected by an interest rate change.

Exercises:
1. Commerce National Bank reports interest-sensitive assets of $870 million and interest-
sensitive liabilities of $625 million during the coming month. Is the bank asset sensitive or
liability sensitive? What is likely to happen to the bank’s net interest margin if interest
rates rise? If they fall?
1. People’s Savings Bank , a thrift institutions, has a cumulative gap for the coming year of
+$135 million, and interest rates are expected to fall by two and a half percentage points.
Calculate the expected change in net interest income that this thrift institution might
experience. What will occur in net interest income if interest rates rise by one and a
quarter percentage points?

3.1.4 Duration Gap Management
• Goal of interest rate hedging: protecting the bank from the damaging effects of
fluctuating interest rates on net worth (NW).
• As market interest rates change, the value of both assets and its liabilities will change,
resulting in a change in its NW:
o A rise in market rates of interest will cause the market value (price) of both fixed-rate
assets and liabilities to decline.
o The longer the maturity, the more the declination
41
3.1.4 Duration Gap Management
• Duration (D):
o a value- and time-weighted measure of maturity that considers the timing of all cash
inflows & outflows
o In effect, duration measures the average time needed to recover the funds committed to
an investment

3.1.4 Duration Gap Management
• Duration (D):
o Example: Suppose that a bank grants a loan to one of its customers for a term of five
years. The customer promises the bank an annual interest payment of 10 percent. The
face (par) value of the loan is $1,000, which is also its current market value (price). What
is this loan duration?

3.1.4 Duration Gap Management
• Duration (D):
o Example:
44
3.1.4 Duration Gap Management
• Duration (D):
o A bank with longer-duration assets than liabilities will suffer a greater decline in NW
when market interest rates rise (than a bank with short-term asset duration or matching
the duration of liabilities with assets)
o Equating asset and liability durations à immunize NW from interest rate risk.

3.2.4. Caps, Floors, and Collars
• Interest-rate caps:
o Protecting its holder against rising market interest rates.
o Borrowers are assured that lenders cannot increase loan rate above the cap interest rate
by paying an upfront premium/fee.
o Alternatively, the borrower may purchase an interest-rate cap from a third party who
promises to reimburse borrowers for any additional interest beyond the cap.
77
3.2.4. Caps, Floors, and Collars
• Interest-rate caps:
o Typical conditions when a bank buy interest-rate caps:
Ø When it has fixed-rate assets with floating-rate liabilities
Ø When it possesses longer-term assets than liabilities
Ø When it holds a large portfolio of bonds that will drop in value when market interest
rates rise.
78
3.2.4. Caps, Floors, and Collars
• Interest-rate floors:
o Guaranteeing minimum rate of return for lenders/investors, used in periods of falling
interest rates
o Banks use interest-rate floors most often when their liabilities have longer maturities
than their assets or when they are funding floating-rate assets with fixed-rate debts.
79
3.2.4. Caps, Floors, and Collars
• Interest-rate collars:
o An agreement combining a rate floor and a rate cap
o E.g: a customer who has just received a $100 million loan may ask the lender for a collar
on the loan's prime rate between 11 percent and 7 percent. In this instance, the lender
will pay its customer's added interest cost if prime rises above 11 percent, while the
customer reimburses the lender if prime drops below 7 percent.
o In effect, the collar's purchaser pays a premium for a rate cap while receiving a premium
for accepting a rate floor.
