This book goes beyond traditional financial institutions textbooks, which tend to focus on mathematical models for risk management and the technical aspects of measuring and managing risk. It focuses on the role of financial institutions in promoting social and economic goals for the communities in which they operate for the greater good, while also meeting financial and competitive challenges, and managing risks. Cooperman divides the text into seven easily teachable modules that examine the real issues and challenges that managers of financial institutions face. These include the transformative changes presented by social unrest, climate change and resource challenges, as well as the changes in how financial institutions operate in light of the opportunities that rapid innovations and disruptive technologies offer. The book features: Up-to-date coverage of new regulations affecting financial institutions, such as Dodd Frank and new SEC regulations. Material on project financing and new forms of financing, including crowd funding and new methods of payment for financial institutions. New sustainable finance models and strategies that incorporate environmental, social, and corporate governance considerations. A new chapter on sustainable financial institutions, social activism, the greening of finance, and socially responsible investing. Practical cases focusing on sustainability give readers insight into the socioeconomic risks associated with climate change. Streamlined and accessible, Managing Financial Institutions will appeal to students of financial institutions and markets, risk management, and banking. A companion website, featuring PowerPoint slides, an Instructor’s Manual, and additional cases, is also available.

Until about twenty years ago, the consensus view on the cause of financial-system distress was fairly simple: a run on one bank could easily turn to a panic involving runs on all banks, destroying some and disrupting the financial system. Since then, however, a series of events—such as emerging-market debt crises, bond-market meltdowns, and the Long-Term Capital Management episode—has forced a rethinking of the risks facing financial institutions and the tools available to measure and manage these risks. The Risks of Financial Institutions examines the various risks affecting financial institutions and explores a variety of methods to help institutions and regulators more accurately measure and forecast risk. The contributors--from academic institutions, regulatory organizations, and banking--bring a wide range of perspectives and experience to the issue. The result is a volume that points a way forward to greater financial stability and better risk management of financial institutions.

The asset liability management (ALM) of a financial institution requires informed decisions coupled with strategy in order to meet financial objectives. Combined with a range of risks and constraints, effective ALM requires the formulation, implementation, monitoring and revision of strategies on a daily basis. Asset liability management in the banking industry has come to the fore since the beginning of the Credit Crunch in mid 2007, with overexposed financial institutions collapsing or being propped up by governments and taxpayers ultimately footing the bill. The evidence suggests that the pain is not over with banks lacking commitment and confidence in terms of lending in Europe and the US. Without mending the balance sheet and formulating new strategies, few banks will be able to commit to new opportunities and become takers of qualified risk in the near future. Aimed primarily at risk managers/analysts within financial institutions, but also of significant interest to treasurers, pension fund managers, auditors, controllers, regulators, legal and compliance, Asset Liability Management for Financial Institutions helps build the knowledge base with a back-to-basics approach, in the context of the turmoil in the banking sector. This multi-author volume covers key areas such as fund transfer pricing product, problem-loan assumptions, understanding and applying funds transfer pricing, derivatives, measuring interest rate risk, stress testing and modeling of market risk.

The books central theme is that the risks faced by financial institution managers, and the methods and markets, through which these risks are managed, are becoming increasingly similar.
