The Institut Louis Bachelier, in cooperation with the Fondation du
Risque, the Europlace Institute of Finance and the Louis Bachelier
"Finance and Sustainable Growth" Laboratory, is pleased to invite
you to the 9th Financial Risks International Forum.
In the current context, this year's forum will focus on"NEW
CHALLENGES FACING THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
INDUSTRY".
The aim of this conference is to highlight the methodological and
regulatory challenges confronting the investment management
industry. The financial crisis and its aftermath have resulted in
reflection on the tools and practices of investment managers. The
economic and financial environment is challenging, marked by low
interest rates, increased volatility, and new economic and
demographic risks. Standard practices such as the use of
traditional risk management models, benchmarks, quantitative
backtests, are being called into question. End investors require
more governance and socially responsible investment practices.
Regulatory complexity is a constantly evolving concern for the
industry. Questions have been raised about potential incentive
problems created by delegated management, and financial stability
risks posed by the asset management industry.
