What is the Market, Liquidity and Asset Liability Risk Management (MLARM) Certificate?
Overview
Market, Liquidity and Asset Liability Management may seem like an odd combination; however, in some of their original underlying areas and through the outcome of the recent financial crisis, they have become much more closely aligned. Both Market Risk and Asset Liability Management have interest rate risk as one of their underlying elements, and Asset Liability Management provides a mechanism to align these areas.
