The Risk and Capital Management Research Conference

Monday, 22 September 2008, Amora Hotel, Sydney 

Please view the attachment for full course information and registration. 

 

Risk and Capital Management has become the focus of financial service providers from insurers to superannuation funds to investment managers.  Risk management in insurers has been developing motivated by the potential impact of Solvency II while economic capital requirements have focussed attention on new techniques in financial modelling and their applications.  At the same time there is an increasing convergence between insurance and financial markets in modelling and managing risk and capital.

To discuss and debate these issues, the Institute of Actuaries of Australia will convene a Risk and Capital Management Research Conference on Monday, 22 September 2008 at the Amora Hotel in Sydney.

The diverse program featuring local and international speakers includes sessions on:

 

-       Risk analysis and scenario generation for risk linked securities

-       Risk management processes in general insurers in Australia and New Zealand

-       New approaches to modelling multivariate risks using copulas

-       Behavioural finance and superannuation risk analysis

-       Economic capital for general insurer reserve risk, underwriting risk and combined risks

-       Economic capital for equity risk and links with credit risk
