WASHINGTON MUTUAL TREASURER Robert Williams aims to take a measured view on funding. “We focus on making sure that we have a comprehensive funding or liquidity plan and we also spend quite a bit of time making sure we have a comprehensive and extensive capital plan,” he says. “We are constantly looking at our funding, liquidity/capital needs on a four- or five-quarter forecast view.”
