Portfolio Management and ALM aim to educate Asset, Treasury, Portfolio, and Investment Managers on how to optimize Portfolio Management strategies to bring about good returns for the firm. Assets and Liabilities Management (ALM) is a financial strategy used by banks and other financial institutions to effectively manage their assets (loans, investments, etc.) and liabilities (deposits, borrowings, etc.).
