Balance Sheet Management Strategies for a Highly Volatile Environment

On-Demand Webinar (July 21, 2021)

Frank Farone

Managing Director

Darling Consulting Group

Frank consults nationwide with CEOs and CFOs of financial institutions to increase earnings through the proactive management of capital, liquidity/funding risk, and interest rate risk. He is a frequent speaker and author on topics such as industry issues and trends, funding solutions, regulatory issues, interest rate risk management, capital management, and derivatives hedging techniques.


Frank was designated a “top-rated” speaker by FMS and is well known for his popular seminar “Turbo Charging Your ALCO Process” having helped thousands of bankers across the country.

Margins and earnings pressure will continue as far as the eye can see, and “hoping” for better times is not the most prudent strategy. Time is not your friend. Now is the time to act, regardless of your outlook for rates.


ALCO conversations should be changing even faster. In this session, DCG Managing Director Frank Farone will discuss strategies for your entire balance sheet that will enhance earnings, address margin pressure, manage both current and prospective interest rate risk, prudently enhance the return on current excess liquidity, and productively manage capital…phew!


Worried about Inflation ahead or a protracted low rate environment? Frank will offer strategies to consider now – and avoid – as the cycle turns. Strategies will include lending, investments, deposits, roles for wholesale, derivatives (hedging and role in driving loan growth), and much more. Creating the right perspective and enabling the right conversation has never been more critical for ALCOs.
