Identifying and Managing Investment Risk in 2012
Australia's connections to broader global economy are stronger than ever before. While, on one hand, this fuels our economic growth and prosperity it also increased Australia's exposure to the investment and regulatory risk challenges buffeting international markets. This National Briefing will consider Australia's position in the global economy and identify and analyse the investment risk challenges that we are likely to confront in 2012 and beyond.
Discussion will focus on:
- The historical context - what did the banking & finance world look like 30 years ago, where is it now, where is it likely to go?
- The global risk landscape in 2012
- Understanding systemic risk and its impact on investment strategy
- The impact of changes such as demographic shifts and economic wealth distribution patterns
- What does globalization mean in a financial context
- What are the implications for super funds
