attended the 16th Annual Performance, Attribution, & Risk Management Forum. This essential event was held on November 25th - 26th in London and again brought the together the key players - once again a resounding success. This event continues to attract 120+ senior investment management attendees from around the world.
WHAT’S THE STATE OF PLAY IN 2009?
With the credit crunch continuing to affect the global markets, the world or performance measurement evolves apace. This evolution is being driven more and more by the growing complexity of financial instruments, mounting requirements for transparency, and higher expectations from asset managers and clients. Furthermore, investors are seeking to understand not only the sources of return in their portfolio, but also their sources of loss.
Performance and attribution tools are also having to adapt to the proliferation of new asset classes, and a soaring demand for risk measurement. On the back of this and other market trends, the performance and attribution space is showing increasing convergence with the risk function within firms.We look forward to welcoming you to PARM 17 to be held in London in November 2009. Please be on the lookout for more details on this website.
