Liquidity risk may be the farthest thing from a credit union executive's mind. However, liquidity risk is a dynamic concept which can change very quickly. We will demonstrate the scenarios where a credit union could go from being very liquid to liquidity-sensitive in a very short period of time. We will also demonstrate the most common approaches to identifying and estimating liquidity risk. Chapter 3: Unique Credit Union Advantages and Disadvantages

The concept of net economic value (NEV) and its role in estimating interest rate risk is widely misunderstood by credit union executives. Economic value is an excellent methodology to estimate the longer-term risks associated with any loan extending beyond five years. NEV effectively measures the opportunity cost of holding long-term, fixed-rate assets in a rising-rate environment. We will demonstrate how this works. Chapter 6: Opportunity Cost

Chapter 3: Leveraged Balance Sheet-Actual Rate Shock vs. Actual Performance

Chapter 6: Gap Analysis Income simulation is the most common method of estimating interest rate risk in the credit union's balance sheet. It is simple in concept, but complex in its application. In this presentation, we will explain how income simulation works. The most common variables and assumptions, such a prepayment speeds and deposit rate sensitivity, will also be covered.
