ABOUT US

Using Asset Liability Management to Gain Competitive Advantage

Over the past few decades, financial institutions with inadequate or no Asset Liability Management ("ALM") discipline have been ruthlessly punished by the financial markets, suffered severe losses and experienced several failures as a result of their exposure to changes in interest rates, asset defaults and turbulent equity markets. In many cases these risks were unnecessary and could easily have been avoided with effective ALM. Many companies today are not being fairly compensated for risks they are assuming. Best practices that have emerged in the area of ALM over the last few years have enabled insurance companies to use ALM as a strategic decision making framework to add value, gain competitive advantage and achieve financial objectives. Nexus Risk Management works with a number of insurance and reinsurance companies globally to implement best practice ALM, ERM and LDI frameworks, formulate effective ALM strategies and execute asset management within an ALM framework.

Internationally Acclaimed Courses

Nexus Risk Management conducts internationally acclaimed courses on ALM with the Society of Actuaries. Over 600 ALM practitioners, senior managers, regulators and analysts from around the world have attended Asset Liability Management Techniques and Practices.

A Better Approach to Asset Management

Through joint ventures with Asset Management firms the inadequacies of the traditional asset management model are resolved and assets are managed directly against the liability cash flows within a principled ALM framework. Strategies to optimize the portfolio on a default-free basis have added substantial value for our clients by simultaneously decreasing their risk exposure AND increasing their investment income by millions per year.

Powerful Tools to Manage Risk

Nexus Risk Management provides powerful ALM software to manage risk exposure. ALM Calculation Engine v3.1 is a fully transparent Excel based tool that enables companies to manage the risk exposure associated with a given set of asset and liability cash flows. ALM Calculation Engine v3.1 performs the necessary calculations to conduct the various activities in the ALM process including 1) measurement of risk exposure, 2) analysis of strategies and assumption changes, 3) monitoring of ALM position against approved risk limits, 4) risk reporting, 5) portfolio re-balancing and 6) optimization.
