You will benefit from:
Our outsourced ALM services provide all necessary elements to implement a robust and sustainable balance sheet management practice. We work with our clients to customize metrics and reports to deliver a tailored made, practical solution suited to the specific nature, size, and complexity of their operations. Considering industry “best practices” and regulatory requirements, we will benchmark your operations, provide you with a menu of options and a roadmap to establish and achieve a target maturity level for treasury and risk management operations, aligned with your business goals, and internal and external expectations.
The implementation process is generally carried out over a six-week period during which we will work with our clients to map their transactional information to pre-established templates that will be used to automatically import the required information into our ALM system. Information is then submitted on a periodic basis through our secured website. As part of the implementation process, we will load and process two months of historical data to test data flow, product level configuration and reporting (ALM and FTP)
Transactions are modelled at the instrument level, allowing different levels of aggregation for reporting purposes. Our ALM solution (MORS Software) enables us to model all types of banking products (cash and derivatives), including explicit (caps, floors) and embedded options (administered rate products, e.g. non-maturity deposits and credit cards), under a constant balance sheet assumption (regulatory view) or dynamic assumptions (management view), including sub-product level static or scenario dependent assumptions (e.g. prepayment, rate sensitivity, deposit decay, capital target duration)
Using client defined chart of accounts, parameters and level of granularity, we deliver our reports within a couple of business days (2-3) for client review and follow up with a monthly call to review the monthly report, including NII forecast and sensitivity (what-if analysis), balance sheet trends, limit monitoring and back testing of previous month
