Day 1 of ALM First Financial Forum focuses on strategic opportunities & challenges
SAN DIEGO, CA (September 19, 2018) — The first day of ALM First’s Financial Forum kicked off with an Economic & Market Update tailored specifically to financial institutions. While deposit repricing, liquidity and the potential for a future economic recession are all concerns, Jason Haley, Managing Director of ALM First’s Investment Management Group, shared some of the firm’s research on similar economic environments in the past to help attendees make better decisions for the future. In addition, Haley discussed several trends financial institutions should keep an eye on looking ahead.
Two lively panel discussions on regulatory updates and current trends affecting depository institutions, along with an interactive presentation on the need for credit unions and community banks to remain adaptive and competitive to become successful institutions of the future, rounded out the content-rich first day of the Financial Forum. The regulatory panel focused on the importance of liquidity management, looking at assumptions and contingency funding plans for financial institutions. The challenges of net interest margin (NIM) compression, CECL, and attracting deposits were also discussed.
The Financial Forum, hosted by ALM First, is the premier event for financial executives to discover insights, formulate strategies, and gain new perspectives about the coming year.
