What has the financial crisis taught us about risk management? Do you think the "reach for yield" distort the market's risk preferences?

Join SunGard Energy & Commodities and Dr. David Rowe in this complimentary 60-minute Web Seminar. Learn about the evolution of risk management, where it failed during the credit crisis and the lessons we learn from it. See, how these lessons impact the energy markets.

Learn from this expert in the risk management industry about:

  • Statistical entropy - the inherent limits of quantitative tools 
  • Importance of structural imagination - why we neglected dimension of risk analysis
  • Self-Referential Feedback - the danger of corrosive feedback loops in pricing and risk management
  • Complexity and Dark Risk - intransparency breeds hidden dangers
  • Alternate Means of Valuation - ignore a possible failure of liquidity at your peril

Discuss with David the attention which has been paid to Value-at-Risk (VaR) as a tool for risk estimation and his definition for VaR not being the "worst case loss".
