Risk Management Conference Overview
Managing in Volatile Times
In an increasingly interconnected and volatile financial world, risk management is a concern of all investors. Whether a pension plan, endowment, foundation or family office, the establishment, management and monitoring of investment risk guidelines has become a more complex task in recent years. Investors are looking for new and better ways to understand the risks they are taking, and want risk management methods that provide timely data to inform their investment decisions.
Best practice shows that more time is being spent on ensuring that institutional investors have well-structured risk management systems. So what are the components of such a system and how do they work? From a well-defined governance structure through a clear investment policy to a comprehensive measurement and reporting process, today’s risk management systems are evolving entities that change as the world’s financial and economic markets develop.
When you attend the risk management conference you will learn risk management strategies and processes that will allow you to keep pace with the times, such as:
- How valuable is stress-testing, risk modeling and risk budgeting?
- Are you using strategies and instruments that offer downside protection?
- How should you think about longevity risk?
- Should you be considering adding inflation hedging or tail risk protection to your portfolios?
- Can a risk management dashboard provide investment committees with the information to avoid investment losses?
- How important is liquidity in risk management?
- Is there a place for tactical and opportunistic investing to take advantage of distressed situations?
- Do derivatives and leverage have a place in an investment portfolio?
- How should you view operational risk?
Conference registration is only open to pension plan sponsors, endowments and foundations and a limited number of investment consultants in order to facilitate an open dialogue for plan sponsors and create a true learning environment for our participants
