Liquidity is costly and a bank’s treasury requires compensation for managing such an expensive asset, particularly when being treated as a profit center. how may this be best accomplished? In fact, we believe it is a similar exercise to matched-maturity Funds Transfer Pricing. There, every asset and every liability is refinanced and invested according to its repricing terms based on the LIBOR/Swap curve; these refinancing/ investment deals then form the balance sheet of the treasury and as a result, we have separated term-mismatch (which remains on the treasury P&L) from basis risk and client behavior (which goes to the front office).
