The year of 2009 remains critical as the market is facing the biggest challenges and market volatility impacted by the market events. Australia, like other economies, is affected by the trends and challenges of global economic downturn and is experiencing a slowing economic growth. Financial institutions are impacted by their counterparts and are drying up of credit and liquidity, which have threatened their survival. Business leaders are being challenged than ever and are looking for solutions to respond to the evolving investment landscape. Risk management has never been as better placed in financial institutions as now. Risk managers are now prompted to realise the importance of risk management, and they are looking to review and improve their liquidity and counterparty credit risk management framework. On the investment front, the current market has led to a dramatic drop in the value of the fund portfolios and there’s a shift of asset allocation from illiquid to liquid assets. Fund managers are re-assessing the asset allocations and diversification models.

Through a combination of our outstanding keynotes and panel sessions in two focused streams at Risk Australia, you will hear in-depth discussions on the macro economic trends and how they are linked to the Australian markets; It will also enable you to get take-home tips on the latest counterparty credit and liquidity risk management strategies as well as the effective capital management and investments solutions in order to survive in the current turmoil and succeed in the future scenario.
