Meeting Regulatory, Client & Business Expectations for
Independent Investment Risk Oversight
22 February 2013
|
Independent Investment Risk Oversight Course - a highly practical one day workshop
Just some of the key issues to be addressed:
Understand the current investment risk oversight requirements for UCITS funds:
- Overview of the UCITS IV directive
- Implementation of the directive in EU countries especially Luxembourg and the UK
- Different approaches for risk measurement - leverage versus VaR
- Other UCITS risk requirements
- Fund risk profiles
Find out how to add value to the regulatory investment risk oversight requirements:
- Using UCITS risk monitoring for early warning of fund performance issues
- Detection of hedging and other errors
- Identification of unintentional risk taking
- Setting appropriate limits
Learn the key questions that management companies and fund boards should be asking and how to deliver what they need:
- Risk vs. reward
- Is the fund doing what it says in the prospectus
- Can investors get their money back
Learn how to prepare a risk management process (RMP) that will:
- Explain clearly how the risk function is organised
- Show how responsibilities are delegated
- Set out the key risks and how they are controlled
See the Investment Risk Oversight workshop latest agenda for more information.
Reasons for attending this workshop
This workshop will demonstrate how independent risk oversight can add value to the business, rather than being a regulatory overhead and provides guidance on how to set-up and operate such a function.
It will deliver a clear, structured template for the risk oversight information that should be provided to UCITS management companies and their associated boards, a format that can also be used to supplement the existing performance reports provided to clients holding segregated mandates.
In addition, the course provides guidance on how to document the risk management process so that it can be used both as a regulatory submission and as a day-to-day reference guide for the organisation.
- Understand the regulatory requirements
- Learn how to structure and operate an independent investment risk oversight function
- Deliver the risk information that management companies and boards should be looking at
- Leverage the regulatory risk reporting regime to add value to the business
