Market participants on both the sell side and the buy side are becoming increasingly aware of the challenges to performing a higher level of risk analysis appropriate for the current environment. From computational restraints and data aggregation obstacles to the challenges of identifying accurate and timely metrics, considerable resources are being reorganized and redeployed to overcome the most well-known problems in navigating this highly transformative period in global capital markets history. Yet there remain gaps and blind spots in the approach and the toolkit for the road ahead. In order to achieve improved risk management, firms must first improve their capabilities in regards to risk measurement and risk monitoring. More specifically, the unidentified risks – the unknowns – currently are grossly underappreciated. With the growing magnitude and frequency of big data, coupled with the unprecedented market structure transformation occurring across asset classes and geographies, there are certainly going to be new risks that that need to be identified, measured and monitored before they can ever be managed properly. Join TABB Group and SAS for this complimentary webinar as we examine the tools needed for enhanced risk discovery – the final layer of the risk analytics stack – as well as the changes that must occur on the presentation layer if firms are to succeed in today’s environment. Speakers: Paul Rowady, Senior Analyst, TABB Group David Wallace, Global Financial Services Marketing Manager, SAS Worldwide Marketing

US equity market structure is no longer held up as the most progressive market structure. Regulators around the globe are taking the lead in trying to address some of the challenges of a highly automated, fragmented market structure.  Three expert panels of industry executives will put the US markets under the microscope and explore the pros and cons of the other market models, debating where the US leads and where it lags.

  The global regulatory onslaught intended to rectify the oversights of the Pre-Global Financial Crisis era is exposing an increasing need for a unified view of risk.  The problem, however, is that years of ignoring capability gaps and complexity costs have caused a form of technological arthritis to set in.  Today, fragmented solution architecture stands as a major impediment to the increasing risk analytics needs of most market participants precisely at a time when most of them can least afford it. We will discuss the needs for a more timely, accurate, unified and enterprise view of risk for the road ahead; the role of an analytics library in achieving such output; and the challenges to and benefits of achieving such a new level of capability.
