Asset-liability mismatch in balance sheet of banks shows serious challenges in banks because of the traditional methods of recording assets and liabilities at book value in Iran. The Central Bank of the country motivated and advised banks to take concrete steps in minimizing the mismatch in the asset-liability composition.

In the context of asset and liability management, we propose a portfolio selection model based on the expected return of the assets and the economic risk capital (ERC) associated to the asset liability portfolio, for short called mean-ERC asset liability portfolio selection. MeanERC efficiency in asset and liability management is closely related and compared to meanvariance efficiency in asset ...

Every commercial bank optimises its asset portfolio depending on the profitability of assets and chosen or imposed constraints. This paper proposes and applies a stylized model for optimising banks' asset and liability structure, reflecting profitability of different asset categories and their risks as well as costs associated with different liability categories and reserve requirements. The le...

Dynamic financial analysis (DFA) is a technique which uses Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the evolution over time of financial models of funds, complex liabilities and entire firms. Although of increasing popularity, the drawback of DFA is the dearth of systematic methods for optimising model parameters for strategic financial planning. This paper introduces strategic DFA which employs t...

Developments in risk-transfer instruments and risk management techniques in the last two decades have fundamentally changed how banks manage their assets and liabilities. In this document we show that, for all three sectors of German universal banks (private commercial banks, savings banks, and cooperative banks), asset-liability dependency declined over the period 1994-2007, the decline was st...
