The executive challenge

The problem this program solves

Fintech partnerships in fund governance are signed faster than they are governed, and each one brings value and risk in the same signature. Boards tolerate transformation theatre for about two budget cycles — the third one funds a competitor instead. You will stress-test your own institution in the IPAT Data Lab™ and leave with a fund governance strategy that survives both a supervisor and a competitor.

Context

Why this matters now

Supervisors now expect fund governance strategy to be evidenced — spreadsheets and speeches no longer satisfy them.
Capital, liquidity, IFRS 9 and AML/CFT expectations keep rising on fund governance while margins compress.
Deposits, talent and licences migrate toward institutions that can articulate a credible fund governance position.

Capability

What you will be able to do

  • Diagnose where your institution creates — and destroys — value in fund governance across the balance sheet.
  • Stress-test fund governance strategy against rate, FX and credit scenarios before the board or the supervisor does.
  • Anticipate the regulatory trajectory of fund governance before it is written into rulebooks.
  • Structure fund governance products, pricing and partnerships that survive regulatory and competitive stress.

The IPAT Course Standard

The five-day journey

Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.

IPAT Signature Case™

The Margin That Walked

The most profitable product at a development finance institution has quietly migrated to instant-payment rails the institution does not own; deposits follow the customer, not the branch. The board wants a response before the next pricing cycle — and the fund governance data is contested in every committee.

Your decision: Build competing rails, partner with the platform, or reprice the legacy book to defend margin — each path changes the institution you become.

IPAT Data Lab™

The fund governance unit economics at a development finance institution work in the business case and fail in the ledger.

Dataset: Synthetic product-level revenue, cost and capital data for a development finance institution.

Your task: Rebuild the unit economics, stress them against rate and funding shocks, and recommend what to scale or exit.
