August 12: Interest Rate Risk Management and the Director
Presented by: Will Taylor, Senior Vice President, PMG, Vining Sparks
START TIME: 2:00 pm Pacific

Given the current demands on banks to have adequate liquidity and capital - what are the ramifications of rates staying low for a prolonged period? Conversely, what happens to the bank’s net interest margin (NIM) if rates rise slowly over a prolonged time period or if rates sky rocket tomorrow - how will your bank’s earnings be impacted by these various rate scenarios?
In this Webinar we will address the likelihood of these various events and methods to combat NIM compression. You’ll leave with the information needed to understand Interest Rate Risk Management – and why it’s so important to shareholders and regulators.
Who should attend
Directors, Chairman, President/CEO
