asset-liability swap
Explanation:
In analogy to Aktivtausch = asset swap (Zahn, Banking and Stock Trading), Passivtausch is, however, rendered as debt-for-debt swap.

I found one website where they used "asset-liability swap", but since it didn't have a proper address I couldn't verify this. Hope it helps anyway.

balancing?


Explanation:
I think it is as simple as that (the balancing requirement of assets and liabilities), asset/liability management is too complicated for the "neighbours" in the context.
