We have two new powerpoint webinars available upon request. The first webinar titled "How to Ensure an Accurate, Effective, and Compliant ALM Process" highlights common modeling errors in ALM models and identifies key elements that should be present in the model to ensure regulatory compliance. The other webinar "How to Diagnose and Hedge Interest Rate Risk" focuses on interest rate risk for banks and credit unions and hedging strategies that can be used to mitigate unwanted risk. Both webinars are available upon request.

We now have a free loan pricer on our website under the tab 'ALCO-Online'! The price calculator can handle fixed and floating loans with embedded caps and floors. This application is only the first in what will be a complete suite of tools for bankers in the ALCO-Online portion of our website. Please contact us with any questions on its use.

New features in our BondRisk report are now available. A new peer group comparison page shows how the risk-profile of the portfolio compares to a peer group of similarly sized portfolios.

In addition, nightly auto-updates of BondRisk reports are now available for our web users. The nightly reruns of designated BondRisk reports use continually updated R2Metrics market pricing so as to increase the accuracy and utility of the report in increasingly volatile market conditions. Contact us at analytics@r2metrics for more details.

We now have a new Download Template available. Please contact analytics@r2metrics.com if you have any questions.
