What
RSLt
RSA1yr = $0
RSL1yr = $10,000
GAP
RSLs include:
Maturing instruments or principal payments
If an asset or liability matures within 90 days, the
principal amount will be repriced
Any full or partial principal payments within 90
days will be repriced
Floating and variable rate instruments
If the index will contractually change within 90
days, the asset or liability is rate sensitive
The rate may change daily if their base rate
changes.
Issue: do you expect the base rate to change?
and liabilities
Changes in the volume of earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities
outstanding
Changes in the relationship between
the yields on earning assets and rates
paid on interest-bearing liabilities
rates?
A 1% decrease in the spread between assets
yields and interest costs such that the rate
on RSAs increases to 8.5% and the rate on
RSLs increase to 5.5%?
Changes in the relationship between shortterm asset yields and liability costs
A proportionate doubling in size of the
bank?

Periodic GAP
Is the Gap for each time bucket and measures the timing
of potential income effects from interest rate changes
Cumulative GAP
It is the sum of periodic GAP's and measures aggregate
interest rate risk over the entire period
Cumulative GAP is important since it directly measures
a banks net interest sensitivity throughout the time
interval.
