Mark H. Smith runs a number of webinars that focus on current topics and issues facing credit unions. There are no silver bullets, but you will share in the accumulated knowledge base of our experienced financial advisors whose expertise comes from over five decades of credit union service.
Liquidity risk may be the farthest thing from a credit union executive's mind. However, liquidity risk is a dynamic concept which can change very quickly. We will demonstrate the scenarios where a credit union could go from being very liquid to liquidity-sensitive in a very short period of time. We will also demonstrate the most common approaches to identifying and estimating liquidity risk.

Do you like all of the investments in your investment portfolio? If you own callable securities you may be holding those securities longer than you have in the past. When interest rates rise, the dynamics of your investment portfolio will change. If you haven’t visited your investment strategy recently, 2014 may be a great time to do so.
