For Immediate Release: May 20, 2021
For months now, ALM First has been a supporter of the NCUA’s proposed derivatives rule modernization and we applaud their decision today to unanimously approve the final derivatives rule.
“As an ALM and risk management consulting firm, ALM First has always been a big proponent of sound balance sheet risk management and we feel this final rule, as approved, will go a long way in helping the industry in its management of interest rate risk,” says Principal Robert Perry.
ALM First CEO Emily Hollis agreed, saying “Tried and true interest rate risk hedging strategies are at the heart of many risk management programs at both banks and credit unions, we applaud this move by the NCUA to provide greater flexibility for credit unions.”
