Each individual volume in the series presents an accurate self-contained survey of a sub-field of finance, suitable for use by finance and economics professors and lecturers, professional researchers, graduate students and as a teaching supplement. It is fitting that the series Handbooks in Finance devotes a handbook to Asset and Liability Management.

They put the traditional purpose of ALM, to control interest rate and liquidity risks, into rich and broad-minded frameworks. Readers interested in other business settings will find their discussions of financial institutions both instructive and revealing.* Focuses on pragmatic applications * Relevant to a variety of risk-management industries* Analyzes models used in most financial sectors

"This book is a comprehensive and authoritative presentation of ALM techniques and issues. It covers modeling and practical aspects of ALM and greatly benefits for the author s experience within the ALM group of BNP Paribas. I think anyone from the student involved in a risk management degree to the skilled practitioner will benefit from this useful reading." Professor Jean Paul Laurent, Professor of Finance, ISFA Actuarial School, University of Lyon"Alexandre Adam has provided an excellent and detailed treatment of Asset and Liability Management. This Handbook will be a very useful and complete guide to practitioners inasmuch as it analyses in a coherent framework the following three aspects: accounting (with respect to IFRS and IAS), organisation and regulation (for both Basel II and Solvency II). Moreover it integrates the ALM with the recent Risk Management techniques for the more relevant sources of risk (credit, liquidity, operational risks)."
