An update to the latest developments on the
ERM front in asset management in this timely session. ERM in
asset management has become quite challenging in an era of
high volatility, credit liquidity, operational risk challenges
and an increasing importance of compliance oversight. Expert
presenters will also explore the issues and challenges faced
by the sector as well as how to minimize losses from operational
and fat-tail credit risk while seeking out modest out performance
of a target benchmark. In addition, they’ll discuss the
importance of ALM aligning incentives and issues of yield/income
vs. total return.
