Risk management 2

This one day program provides qualified participants with an advanced look at modern market risk management as it pertains to liquidity.  Regulators, banks and investors are concerned about the current liquidity in marketplaces and the “unintended consequences” brought about by regulation.  Through the use of case studies and exercises, participants will gain an understanding of how to correctly identify market liquidity risk, how to quantify it and modern ways in which to mitigate them. In addition, the course will cover best practices of a modern risk management unit and how this unit works with the other stakeholders in an effort to monitor the risk as it changes and respond with a well-planned course of action.  An emphasis will be placed on risk management techniques, how they are used, their strengths and weaknesses and how they are changing.

In the last decade-and-a-half, over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives have grown from being relatively obscure financial products into standard risk management tools. Notwithstanding their commonplace standing today, establishing an effective risk management process for OTC derivatives remains a challenge for end-users, dealers, clearing agencies and other related parties. Additionally, Dodd-Frank and Basel III rules have changed the OTC derivatives landscape significantly. This two day course will focus on practical implementation issues for establishing an effective risk management framework in an uncertain, global regulatory environment.
