The New Basics of Asset-Liability Management for Directors
Telephone Briefing*
Developed by ABA America's Community Bankers Council
in cooperation with ABA Bank Directors Briefing Newsletter.

Many of the basics of bank portfolios and asset-liability management have been shaken in the course of current events. Markets have been rattled. Some old standbys have been punctured. And certainty … well, goodbye to that. Federal Reserve Board and Treasury actions have brought about changes to financial strategy that continue to challenge bank executives. Exercising oversight in such uncertain times demands a fresh look at this key discipline of banking.  

This recording features ABA's panel of experts from the 90-minute live telephone briefing held on December 9. This program will help directors and trustees better meet the duty of asset-liability management in an environment that is grown tougher and tougher by the month.
