Treasury Market Operations (CTM) serves as IFC Treasury’s market counterparty-facing front office. CTM is responsible for funding operations and the management of IFC’s cash and liquid assets.
Liquid Assets Management (CTMLM) in the Treasury & Syndications Vice-Presidency is responsible for managing that portion of IFC’s liquid assets not immediately required for disbursement to the mission, the “Strategic Portfolios”. CTMLM’s primary objectives are to preserve IFC’s capital and maximize returns while operating in compliance with the Investment Directive including the Risk Appetite Limits established by the Corporate Risk Committee. IFC liquid assets are invested in the highest-quality interest-bearing instruments (fixed and floating) and held in distinct and individually managed sector/region-focused-sub-portfolios. Each sub-portfolio is managed by a Portfolio Manager with individual accountability for their assigned sub-portfolio and shared accountability for the overall performance of the Strategic Portfolios.
The ETC will report to the CTMLM manager, but his/her tasks and responsibilities will span the three units within CTM: Liquid Asset Management, Cash Management and Funding.
