ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Interest rate risk management is critical to the overall profitability of your credit union. Even if managing interest rate risk is not part of your day-to-day responsibilities, if you oversee and manage the process, you need a clear, definitive understanding of the issues so your credit union can stay profitable.


We all know what interest rate risk management is, but many of us don't understand the tools available to mitigate it. This webinar will provide you with an overview that both defines and gives strategies for managing interest rate risk in a rising rate environment.

This event is in conjunction with the CUNA CFO Council.

DURING THIS WEBINAR, YOU WILL:

• Review the recent advisory on interest rate risk management
• Explore recent lessons learned regarding interest rate risk
• Discuss the long term impact of current rate decisions
• Outline minimum expectations for setting assumptions and model validations

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This webinar is beneficial for anyone at your credit union who works on managing the financial growth of your credit union, as well as CEOs, CFOs, and board directors who want to learn more about eliminating financial risks that affect their credit union.
