Event Details

Two years after the pandemic left financial institutions drowning in excess liquidity at historically low interest rates, the industry faces a new challenge… rising interest rates. The Fed has quickly pivoted from supporting the economy to fighting inflation and credit unions are now facing the first rising rate environment in years. Regulators have watched with concern as loan and investment durations extended to record highs in a search for yield and will have a renewed focus on the Investment Portfolio and Interest Rate Risk Management. Portfolio managers can no longer be reactive, but must be proactive in managing their investment portfolio and balance sheet in the face of rising rates and a flattening yield curve. This seminar will examine all of these concerns and present actionable strategies to better prepare your institution for the uncertainty ahead.

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 Powell Pivot – Update on rate hikes, tapering, and the outlook for Federal Reserve monetary policy
  • Interest Rate Risk – How to ensure you are prepared for the heightened regulatory focus coming in 2022
  • Liquidity Risk Management – Best practices for managing liquidity risk as rates rise
  • Investment Portfolio Strategies – Adapting your strategy and finding the best relative value for rising rates and a flattening yield curve
  • MBS/CMO Market – Balancing prepayment and extension risk in an uncertain mortgage rate environment
  • Municipal Market Update – The latest on managing municipal credit risk and finding the best relative value
