Learners will analyze duration and price volatility, evaluate duration gap and Economic Value of Equity (EVE), and apply derivative-based hedging strategies to manage interest rate risk. By the end of this course, learners will be able to calculate Macaulay and modified duration, interpret reinvestment and price risk, assess balance sheet sensitivity, and implement futures, Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs), and interest rate swaps to stabilize financial performance.

This course equips banking and finance professionals with practical asset-liability management tools used in real-world risk management. Through structured explanations and applied examples, learners gain the ability to connect duration gap theory with portfolio-level hedging decisions and derivative applications. What makes this course unique is its integrated approach: it bridges duration gap analytics with hands-on hedging strategies using Eurodollar futures, FRAs, and swapsβ€”moving beyond theory into actionable financial risk management techniques. Whether managing Economic Value of Equity or stabilizing net interest income, learners develop decision-ready skills applicable in banking, treasury, and financial risk management roles.

This module introduces the core principles of Duration Gap Analysis and its application in managing interest rate risk in financial institutions. Learners explore duration as a measure of price sensitivity, understand Macaulay and modified duration, analyze reinvestment and price risk, and apply the duration gap framework to assess and immunize Economic Value of Equity (EVE). The module builds a strong conceptual foundation for balance sheet risk management and strategic asset-liability decisions.

Most courses just teach you how to calculate duration. This one teaches you what to do with that numberβ€”like how to implement a derivative-based hedging strategy to protect the bank's equity

I used to just trust the software at work, but now I actually understand the logic behind our hedging decisions. Knowing how to calculate and interpret duration gap has made me a better risk manager
