Various types of marketable, liquid securities are considered eligible for a reverse repo program. Less liquid, more esoteric securities may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Depending on a client’s individual needs, a reverse repo can be an attractive alternative to an investment manager.
To learn more about this alternative to a traditional line of credit, read the UMB Bank blog “Strengthening liquidity with committed reverse repurchase lending facility.”
Balance sheet management is an ongoing process of analyzing a financial institution’s balance sheet to understand risk and provide guidance.
Financial experts who offer balance sheet management often use a combination of macroeconomic theory and proprietary financial modeling to determine a bank’s unique risk profile. This helps the bank better navigate regulatory changes, evaluate expansion opportunities and interpret asset/liability reporting.

Financial institutions use the practice of asset-liability management (ALM) to mitigate a company’s potential risk of unbalanced assets and liabilities. A comprehensive ALM strategy involves a combination of risk management and financial planning tools. A successful ALM strategy sets a company up for long-term stability, with a surplus that may help increase investment returns and profitability.
