ALMA was formed in 1992 as a trade association of asset & liability risk management practitioners in leading banks, building societies and other related companies. The company has over 110 members from UK,  Irish and international institutions.

The company’s primary aims are to provide education, networking opportunities and promote awareness of asset and liability risk management issues within Treasury and a wider bank balance sheet. We do this through a series of courses, conferences and in-person and online events. ALMA seeks to promote and share best practice in related risk management techniques and approaches. We provide an informal forum in which risk management professionals can network and discuss the issues facing the industry and their responses to these challenges. We work for, and on behalf of our members, to give them the opportunity to share their views on areas as diverse as risk systems strategy, structuring of balance sheets to manage liquidity and funding, interest rate risk, credit, capital and leverage, experience in e-commerce and strategic business direction. We are actively looking at the applications of Digital Currency and assets alongside the impacts of Climate Change on balance sheets and risk metrics.
