Department Overview
Who We Are
TD Bank’s Treasury and Balance Sheet Management (TBSM) is a recognized global leader in asset and liability management.
We also drive shareholder value by managing wholesale funding programs, maintaining a comprehensive and disciplined funds transfer pricing framework and developing strategies for the enterprise investment portfolio and capital positions to ensure TD can generate stable and predictable earnings while optimizing the balance sheet within our risk appetite.
TBSM has over 250 professionals providing expertise in managing the bank’s balance sheet to drive incremental value across all of TD’s businesses.
About the Program
The Treasury Associate Program begins with comprehensive training delivered by both Treasury and Balance Sheet Management (TBSM) subject-matter experts and external presenters to provide Associates with a solid foundation of key TBSM risk concepts and practices. Training is followed by four 6-month rotations in the potential following areas*:
- Market Risk Measurement & Analytics: Measure, manage and hedge the interest rate, foreign exchange and equity risk associated with non-trading products on TD’s trillion-dollar balance sheet.
- Funds Transfer Pricing: Ensure that all non-trading products and businesses are measured on a fully hedged and liquidity premium adjusted basis to accurately reflect the economic profit
- Investment Portfolio Management: Execution of hedging and investment portfolio management in support of the Bank’s asset and liability management strategies.
- Enterprise Capital Management: Establish a management framework for the efficient and prudent management of TD’s capital position while optimizing shareholder’s return on capital
- Wholesale Funding: execute and manage term funding transactions and programs for TD Bank, including senior unsecured debt, covered bond and secured funding through ABS and MBS channels
- Liquidity Risk Management: measure and manage changes in TD Bank’s cash flows, collateral pledging requirements and funding needs to ensure adequate liquidity level while minimizing funding costs
*Rotation opportunities are subject to change without notice
Each rotation is likely to consist of a combination of project-based and reporting (attribution) work. As Associates progress through the program, they will gain valuable experiences in strategic decision making and industry leading risk management and portfolio management practices, allowing a holistic view of balance sheet management to be developed by the end of the program. You will be supported by a team of colleagues, peers, advisors and Executive mentors to ensure your growth, development and success.
