Managing interest rate risk for non-maturity deposits
Marije Elkenbracht and Bert-Jan Nauta introduce two dynamic hedge strategies to stabilise the margin between investment return and client coupon. As extensions of Jarrow & van Deventer's model, these strategies can be used for both interest rate risk…
