On March 28 next at the EDHEC-Risk Europe Days conference at The Brewery in London, EDHEC-Risk Institute will be presenting the results of an exclusive survey on perceptions of non-financial risks in the European fund management industry.
More than 160 high-level European fund management industry professionals were surveyed by EDHEC-Risk for this study as part of the CACEIS research chair on “Risk and Regulation in the European Fund Management Industry” at EDHEC-Risk Institute. The survey results will be presented by Noël Amenc, Director, and Samuel Sender, Applied Research Manager, EDHEC-Risk Institute, at 2.30pm on the afternoon of March 28, following an introduction from session chairman, Jean-Marc Eyssautier, Chief Compliance Officer with CACEIS.
This new survey follows on from a study conducted last year within the same research chair, entitled “The European Fund Management Industry Needs a Better Grasp of Non-Financial Risks,” which looked at how non-financial risks and failures have impacted the regulatory agenda in Europe and traced the management of liquidity, counterparty, compliance, misinformation, and other non-financial risks in the fund industry. By identifying the distribution of risks and responsibilities in the industry, this study examined how convergence between country regulations could be achieved and assessed how fund unit-holders could best be protected with appropriate regulations, improved risk management practices, and greater transparency. For the study that is being presented in London on March 28, EDHEC-Risk has surveyed European fund industry professionals for their views on non-financial risks and the possible regulatory and industry solutions.
This session will form part of the Global Institutional Investment Conference on the second day of the EDHEC-Risk Europe Days. This institutional investment conference will focus on key issues for institutional investors, including risk and regulation, the Solvency II directive, hybrid pension plans and inflation-linked corporate bond investing. A debate on protecting investors from the default risk of pension funds or their sponsors will bring together institutional investors, pension protection organisations and regulators.
