Darling Consulting Group is pleased to introduce our newest Forecasting Deposit Study. Please join us in this 75-minute session as we outline a solution to address the following uncertainties in deposit planning:


  • What is my current outlook for COVID deposit surge?

  • How will these deposits behave as rates rise?

  • Which deposits are more stable than others?

  • How rate-sensitive is my portfolio?


Answering these questions with any sense of certainty can be difficult. Incorporating these behavior patterns into interest rate risk and liquidity models is an ever-evolving process with more institutions seeking advanced methods to support average life, decay, surge, and beta assumptions. In response, Darling Consulting Group’s Deposits360°® team has created a forecasting model based on DCG’s cross-institution analysis, which includes over 2 billion individual deposit records, spanning two decades of rate cycles with 4,700 branches in 48 states. The webinar will focus on this new forecast model as we present a revamped strategic deposit study and use cases to support this interesting analysis.
