APPLYING THE LEARNED LESSONS
Together with the participants, a case study is prepared interactively to apply the lessons learned throughout the day. Participants will brainstorm about how to use the new methods in their own job/company.
Adaptive markets require adaptive risk management. Adapting the risk management techniques of professional investors accordingly, leads to a diminution of a correlation-based understanding of risk. It forces the investor to think in causalities.
This seminar enables professional investors with practical tools to recognize, isolate and manage causal risk factors in a portfolio. Also, participants will learn how to distinguish uncertainty from risk and how to apply new risk parameters in risk and portfolio management.
Three practical exercises will allow the participants to brainstorm about how applicable the lessons learned are back at their workplace.
