Webinar: Navigating a New Risk Paradigm

Increased Volatility: Here to Stay?

In this webinar co-hosted with Northern Trust Asset Management, we explore the new risk paradigm of increased volatility and heightened market risk.

We will argue that this volatile environment, where the direction of market risk can change on a dime, is here to stay and has the potential to wreak havoc on investor portfolios.

Portfolio Construction: Uncovering Unintended Risks

We look at the key driver of this increased volatility and the implications for portfolio construction.

We will also look at how investors can view, analyse and deploy risk across all asset classes to achieve their objectives in this new market paradigm and uncover common sources of unintended risks, while developing strategies to mitigate them.
