Operational risks in TA

Over the past years, the landscape of the investment fund industry has been reshaping itself, adapting to the evolving needs and expectations of investors and distributors. Along with that shift have come changes in the way the transfer agents operate, organise, manage risk, implement regulations and interact with other stakeholders of the investment funds value chain.

By the end of this training, the participants will have a good understanding of operational risk linked to transfer agency activities and its causes (people, processes, systems and external events).

• Risk management and the different types of risks (market, credit, liquidity, operational and others)
• Definition of operational risk
• Operational risk (processes, people, systems, external events)
• ORM (identify, assess, optimise, monitor, report) and the 3 lines of defence model

This training is coordinated by Alexis Bouly, Director at PwC Luxembourg.

Alexis has over 15 years of experience in the fund industry.

He started his career in the audit of investment funds and has been involved in large scales advisory projects related to investment funds such as fund accounting, transfer agents, fund platform migrations and outsourcing implementations across the globe.
