– How Hedge Funds & Asset Managers are Optimising Operations and Risk Management for Regulatory Compliance to Support Long-term Growth
As the buy side considers huge operational burdens to meet the compliance requirements of AIFM, UCITS and Dodd-Frank and hedge funds and investment managers are streamlining post-trade processing and risk management to support regulatory compliance but also to build a stronger operational foundation for future growth.
Although new regulation aims to decrease systemic risk, new rules will increase operational burdens while also reducing margin and lessening the focus on core competencies for buy-side institutions. Hedge funds and asset managers who respond to both regulation and market drivers by streamlining processes and improving efficiency in risk management, reporting and post-trade processing functions will have a better handle on costs, but can also take advantage of business opportunities now and for future growth.
In a live webinar, operations and risk professionals will share how they are addressing operational challenges as a result of regulation in day-to-day processing to establish a more robust middle office, risk management and reporting functions needed to support innovation and growth. Specifically the panel will review advancements in real-time risk monitoring, control over collateral and liquidity management, risk reporting and transaction cost analysis as needed by investors.
Additional point of discussion to be discussed by the panel include:
- •Real-time risk management to present alternative investment managers with an overview of portfolio exposure
- •Visibility and control on collateral, as well as precise liquidity management to protect companies’ margins from new collateral requirements
- •Meticulous transaction cost analysis to provide investors with increased transparency
- •Securing operational risk control along the investment process
