Speakers from the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA), Nedbank, Intesa Sanpaolo, HYPO Real Estate Group, Fitch Ratings and Algorithmics will be providing practical insights and answers.

Practical Insights from Industry Experts.

Recent events in financial markets have put risk management activities to the fore again. This event will discuss the many potential issues around credit risk management today, ranging from Basel II Pillar 2, to the current sub-prime crisis, to integrated market and credit risk.

To enable effective risk aware business decisions at the operational and strategic level, it is more important than ever to have sound processes around accurate capital calculation, credit models and credit data in place. This is required for both regulatory approval and internal risk management: for example, financial institutions need to be able to refuse lending to certain counterparties below a given spread, or work out at which price to securitize an exposure. In addition, optimised credit related operations such as workflows around internal procedures, counterparty take-on, lending with checks on internal and external ratings, collateral management, rating overrides and default data collection can help to provide an important competitive advantage.

Algorithmics is successfully providing risk management software and services to financial markets participants since more than 18 years. For this exceptional event our experts are joined by Kevin Ryan from the UK Financial Services authority, and leading practitioners from some of our clients, such as Grant Kelly from Nedbank and Paolo Sironi from Intesa Sanpaolo.
