Building an all-weather balance sheet with derivatives
Monday, January 27 | 10:30-11:10 a.m. MST
History has shown how unpredictable interest rates are. Building an all-weather balance sheet that can withstand the changing tides of rates is essential for success. But market dynamics complicate it: borrowers and depositors require products that don’t always fit your goals. In this session, you’ll learn how to position your balance sheet to weather rate changes while meeting customer requirements.
