– creating financial assets and then selling those assets
on the behalf of customers

• Depository institutions acquire most of their
funds through accepting deposits

• Make direct investments by purchasing
bonds, stocks or making loans. These are their
assets
• Raise money for these investments by issuing
their own financial assets such as deposits,
insurance policies, mutual fund shares. These
are liabilities for the intermediary and
are indirect investments for the investors.

25. Asset/Liability Management
• Not all liabilities of financial intermediaries are
created equal! They differ in terms of the
certainty of their amount and timing
– Type I liabilities: timing and amount are certain
• example: bank fixed rate CD. Bank knows how much it
owes the depositor and when.
– Type II liabilities: amount is certain but timing is
not
• example: term life insurance policy. Insurance
company knows amount of policy but uncertain when
the policy holder will die.

26. Asset/Liability Management
– Type III liabilities: amount is not certain but timing is
• example: variable rate Certificate of Deposits (CD). Bank
knows the maturity date, but the interest owed is not known
when the CD is issued.
– Type IV liabilities: time and amount are uncertain
• example: auto insurance policy. The timing and payout for
an auto accident is not known when the policy is issued.
• The type of liabilities created by a financial
intermediary will determine how they invest their
funds (i.e. the type of assets that they hold)

27. Financial Innovation

– creation of new financial assets or new ways to use
financial assets
• Why does it happen?
– changing circumstances: increased instability in interest
rates, stock prices and exchange rates led to the
development of derivative securities
– advances in technology make new trading strategies
feasible
– competition among institutions for unique products and
strategies
– desire to avoid regulations or tax laws
