Quels sont les objectifs poursuivis ou les compétences visées ?

Recent financial turmoil has highlighted the importance of understanding and effectively managing risks within financial institutions. In the investment fund sector, recent regulatory publications clearly confirm the ongoing trend towards strengthened risk management requirements.

Beyond identifying appropriate metrics, risk managers and boards of directors of management companies must develop a comprehensive understanding of their exposures and ensure they are adequately monitored.
In this context, all stakeholders (investors, board members, risk managers, etc.) are expected to identify risks and fully understand the purpose of key risk indicators (e.g. VaR, volatility).

Against this backdrop, PwC’s Academy is pleased to offer a dedicated training workshop, providing professionals with a comprehensive overview of risk management for investment funds within the UCITS IV framework.

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

assess the impacts of UCITS IV in terms of risk management;
define funds' risk profile;
assess and measure the main types of risk (market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, operational risk, etc).
