Risk management and yield management in banks

In modern banking, bank management essentially means risk management. Probably the most difficult problem and the most important decision for bank management is, in a changing and challenging environment, how much risk and what type of risk should be taken in order to achieve a satisfactory level of return. Since the objectives for high profits and low risks are diametrically opposed, request is the basic framework that compels and initiates management, it is the request that acceptable return and the highest value for the owners be produce by combination of risks for those who have money invested in the bank. The aim of this article is the analysis of financial risks and return, as well as an optional relation between income and risk, by using modern concepts and procedures for risk modeling. Therefore, the concept of balanced and integrated management of assets and liabilities ALM (Asset-liability management) is being applied, which represents one of the most useful analytical methods of management in banks. This approach shows its efficacy in reducing risk exposure, especially when it comes to significant and dangerous risks, such as the interest rate and liquidity risk.
