Help in gauging impact of sweeps.

To help bankers evaluate the impact of overnight investment-type sweep products on their balance sheets and income statements, Treasury Strategies Inc. has introduced a system that can simulate various scenarios.

With the model, a bank can determine the financial ramifications of allowing corporate and retail customers to sweep demand balances into overnight, interest-bearing investments.

Sweeps can generate fee income and improve a bank's capital ratio.

The system will identify likely changes in assets, liabilities, and income under a variety of circumstances.

Treasury Strategies is based in Chicago.
