Gap Management Techniques
Net interest margin is a significant source of risk and return at all lending institutions. It is the difference between total interest revenues on the bank's assets and the total interest expense on the bank's liabilities. Gap is the difference between the amount of rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities, and gap management is used to stabilize interest margins and earnings.

Financial risk is more than a company's LIBOR-based financing and foreign-currency receivables. It results from a company's business strategy, competitors, and the economy at large. Before trying to quantify a company's exposure, it's important to understand the general types of exposure that the company faces. Exposures can be either tactical (transaction and translation exposures) or strategic (competitive and economic exposures).
