Workshop Deloitte Financial Risk Management

There is a continuing crisis of confidence in the Eurozone, with periodic agreements that were meant to put an end to the crisis once and for all — but didn’t. If the combined actions succeed in restoring confidence, 2012 could mark the turning point in the future of the common currency area. But given the uncertainty surrounding the new rules of the game, one should also be prepared for alternative scenarios.

In the workshop given by Deloitte you will try to quantify one of the most extreme outcomes - a fall of the Eurozone - using the example of a US-based hedge fund. As the increasing financial stress has proved contagious, risk assets such as equities and commodities are already suffering. But an increasing likelihood of the fall of the Eurozone will ask for contingency plans for this scenario. During our session you will consider the impact of this scenario on the investments of this particular hedge fund. You will be stressed as a risk manager of the hedge fund to look at the investments from portfolio and a macro-economic perspective.

This workshop will be in Dutch!
