Welcome to Risk & Return Australia
Asia Risk magazine is delighted to be returning to Sydney for the 8th annual Risk Australia conference, the leading risk management event for financial risk managers and investment professionals, offering an unrivalled networking platform, a thoroughly researched agenda and an exceptional speaker faculty featuring the leading risk minds across the country.
Last year's conference attracted over 300 of the industry's best and brightest risk management professionals from Australia to discuss and debate key topics including the bringing OTC derivatives into the regulatory spotlight, an analysis of risk management strategies for asset owners, discussions on how to align your strategy with key emerging regulations, and implementing Basel III among others.
This year's agenda has evolved to consider Australia's role both domestically and within the global picture. While the safe haven tag is still often mentioned, general low yields and volatility in equity markets represent significant risk to any investor. On the regulatory side we consider how far banks have progressed in a risk conscious world, what are the next steps forward and have the compliance requirements and associated costs impacted the primary focus of the banking business?
Join us for what is sure to be yet another edition of Australia's leading financial risk management conference.
Key conference highlights include:
- Regulatory spotlight on Australia's OTC derivatives reform
- Chief Economist roundtable: Identifying the positive signposts
- Investing in the age of "return free risk "
- Balancing liquidity requirements with a drive for profitability
- Has the regulatory pendulum swung too far?
- And much more...
We look forward to welcoming you.
