Funds Transfer Pricing Webinar
Thank you to everyone who attended our Funds Transfer Pricing Webinar, which we run exclusively for ALMIS users. We had an overwhelming number of attendees, highlighting the benefits of our webinars and the increasing importance of this topic.
The webinar was presented by Dean Carter, Associate Director, and focused on what Funds Transfer Pricing means for firms, ways to address the issue and a way forward using ALMIS software.

“quick way of getting a good understanding of a subject” |

“Useful to hear other people’s experiences” |
Points raised from this webinar were:
FTP is firmly on the FSA’s radar, and is a good strategic and financial management practice.
However, it needs to be clear, well thought out and appropriate for the size and type of business, and particularly is very different in firms who do not run treasury as a profit centre.
There is no right answer, nor is there a simple generic model to employ, but there are common themes.
A building society commented that the FSA want them to go further than they have already and are very interested in the cost of capital as well as cost of liquidity.
Another building society commented that the FSA recommended recently that they not only include the cost of capital but also the FSCS Levy.
ALMIS report writer can be used to develop Funds Transfer Pricing functionality individually for ALMIS users.
