| Description: | This training on managing financial risk will highlight core principles of treasury risk management for managing liquidity, market, credit, and operational risks in the Treasury Department. Why Should You Attend: -Cash forecasting and management; -Banking and credit relationships; -Foreign exchange and rates arrangements; -Pension and other retirement plans; -Execution of buybacks and other stock related activities; and The regulatory environment with responsibilities that these entail. Many of you are already experts at these tasks individually and follow best practices but have asked how to put this all together in a world where the market rules are opaque, high frequency predators everywhere, history potentially a poor guide to the future (“The Great Unwind “) and simple things such as cash management and security has become among the most difficult tasks to accomplish. This webinar will provide some thoughts on a framework for creating a modern, forward looking, risk management approach to Treasury Risk Management using skills and techniques borrowed from the hedge fund world to battle the many different challenges that we face going forward early in this new century. Areas Covered in the Webinar: -Should I be concerned about the “lack of a risk free asset” and as a consequence will all financial theory pertaining to derivatives pricing collapse without one? -Liquidity risk can drive your market risk in a chaotic manner. What does this mean for us? Should I care even if my execution size is that of a price taker? -It does not matter how your organization fails: Operational Risk is as deadly as any other risk and has become dramatically more complicated of late. What execution and reporting controls should I put into place? -Hedging Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Risk: Should I utilize structured investments and such hedges? Do I need an integrated Risk Management System or will separate spreadsheets suffice? -What can I learn from the pursuit of the HIGGS Boson and how can I use simulations and other techniques to quantify the risk that we run in our Treasury? -How can I develop a forward looking threat matrix so that we operate in a predictive mode? Is there a fundamental building block in risk management? Who Will Benefit: -Treasurers and their staff -Internal Audit Professionals -Risk Managers -Compliance Professionals Instructor Profile: Michael Cohn ,has held senior trading and principal risk taking positions for Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch where he mastered the art of relative value fixed income and foreign exchange trading in cash and derivatives markets. This is precisely the underlying skill set needed to create the offensive and defensive skills needed for a modern Treasury Office. Building upon this experience he went on to found one of the first major Hedge Fund/CTA firms in London, England with Panther Capital Management while adding commodities and equity indices to his professional experience set. This was the first major CTA firm to trade options and futures as risk adjusted packages. He has specialized in risk management, trading and investments since his return to the United States in late 1999. |
