Seasonal Updates on Risk Management 2019

Overview

Risk management techniques are designed to handle most types of storms, as well as no-wave, over-quiet scenarios. However, can we face the hard reality that techniques are the fruit of their time, and that, in financial markets more than anywhere else, the methods of yesterday seldom make it for tomorrow's instability? With no fear of having to resort to speculative approaches, we try to determine what risk scenarios could come up at a 12-month horizon, and what risk management techniques could be still to be invented to better cope with 2019.

In this webinar Expert Speaker Fred Vacelet, where he will explore the risk management strategies and hot from the Basel Committee, what is coming and what may come.
