Quels sont les objectifs poursuivis ou les compétences visées ?

Through participation in the first module of our "Become an AIFMD risk manager" programme, participants should now have a good understanding of the regulatory risk management framework and know how to build it when it comes to alternative investments.

In order to complement this learning journey, we have created 2 specific modules focusing on private equity and real estate. With these modules, participants will now explore the connection between the valuation and risk management functions and how they are essential for a comprehensive understanding of financial management. In today's complex financial landscape, where uncertainty is a constant companion, understanding the profound relationship between these two functions is not just advantageous – it's imperative.

Throughout the training, we will navigate the landscape of valuation and risk management, examining their mutual influence and learning how to leverage their interconnectedness for optimal results. We will explore the nuances of how valuation assumptions impact risk assessments, and how the evaluation of risks, in turn, refines valuation models. Our aim is to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to foster a harmonious partnership between valuation and risk management, enabling strategic decisions that are both informed and resilient.

This module focuses on real estate.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

comprehend the integral relationship between valuation and risk management;
understand how valuation assumptions directly impact risk assessments and vice versa;
utilise valuation parameters as key risk indicators;
recognise the strategic advantages of integrating these functions in decision-making;
possess the skills to communicate effectively across valuation and risk management teams;
gain the insights to align financial strategies with risk appetite and organisational goals;
be prepared to address the challenges and opportunities presented by an evolving financial landscape.
