The concept of net economic value (NEV) and its role in estimating interest rate risk is widely misunderstood by credit union executives. Economic value is an excellent methodology to estimate the longer-term risks associated with any loan extending beyond five years. NEV effectively measures the opportunity cost of holding long-term, fixed-rate assets in a rising-rate environment. We will demonstrate how this works.

In this presentation, we will briefly review the applicable regulations and their impact on different-sized credit unions. We will present a template to develop a liquidity risk policy. Additionally, we will present the attributes of a sound contingency funding plan and offer a template to assist in developing such a plan.

NCUA has proposed a major change in the capital requirements. A risk based capital requirement similar to other types of financial institutions is proposed for credit union over $50 million assets. In this webinar we will review the proposed requirements and their potential impact on credit unions. In this chapter, Mark covers the following: * Welcome to Preparing for Risk-Based Capital * What is Proposed? * NCUA proposes to implement a risk-based capital (RBC) criteria * Why is NCUA proposing RBC? * NCUA’s List of Major Risks Faced By Credit Unions * Characteristics of The RBC Proposal * Proposed Loan Categories * Investment Categories * Other Categories of Assets & Assets Risk-Weighted @ 0% * Net Worth & RBC Requirements to be considered well-capitalized * Examples of Risk Weights By Category * Definition of Weighted Average Life of Investments (WALI) * Definition of the Risk-Based Capital Numerator (Total Capital) * Scenarios & Questions * What to do Now * Summary
