Interest Rate Risk Management for Credit Unions
Stabilize Credit Union Margin with IR Hedging
Reduce interest rate risk and improve the safety and soundness of your credit union by adding hedging to your toolkit. Team up with Hedge Trackers for help managing your hedge portfolio—including accounting, reporting and on-going hedge effectiveness testing—and get support and education every step of the way.
Use Derivatives to Hedge Interest Rate Risk
Align interest rate assets and liabilities, minimize balance sheet impact and reduce financial risk by using derivatives to hedge your credit union’s interest rate risk.
Get NCUA Approval
-
Hedge Trackers can work with your team to put together a derivatives policy, an accounting guide to support designations, a documentation package including effectiveness testing examples, and more so you can apply for NCUA approval—a requirement for some credit unions. Under the new rules, credit unions meeting certain thresholds no longer have to apply for derivatives authority.
