The core function of Treasury Management is the ongoing procurement of external funds to refinance our investments (Funding), as well as the active management of
liquidity risks,
interest rate risks and
currency risks
It also provides for the ensuing continuity and optimization of the Bank’s financial result. In so doing, our Treasury Management is responsible for ensuring that our company remains solvent.
The refinancing of our business activities rests essentially on two cornerstones:
For collateralized refinancing, the securities in the Bank’s portfolio are used, eg. as security for repo transactions .
For uncollateralized refinancing, the Bank uses the network of the HSH Nordbank Group as well as its own market contacts in the interbank sector.
In managing liquidity, our Treasury Management is closely connected with the corporate headquarters. Our liquidity management is geared to procuring a comprehensive financing base by being constantly present in the money and capital markets. In doing so, our refinancing is orientated to the principle of interest rate and currency congruency.
The use of interest rate and currency derivative instruments serves primarily to hedge against the interest rate and currency risks of balance sheet positions.
