PRMIA invites you to join risk industry expert John C. Hull as he discusses new directions for risk management with PRMIA's executive director, Steve Lindo. This 60 minute free webinar will take place on Tuesday, June 23 at 9:00 a.m. EST.

Mr. Hull, Maple Financial Professor of Derivatives and Risk Management in the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, will make a short presentation and then answer questions about the way in which risk management is changing as a result of the credit crisis. He will discuss challenges facing risk managers and explain how we can avoid some of the mistakes that were made in the period leading up to July 2007.

The discussion will include:

  • Key mistakes made in assessing the risk of the instruments that were created from mortgage portfolios
  • The importance of liquidity risk and stress testing
  • The future of VaR

    John is well known for his books. He has spent much of the last year working on the second edition of Risk Management and Financial Institutions, which will be out in June 2009. Webinar attendees will be given the opportunity to purchase this book at a 25% discount.

    This Webinar is an excellent opportunity for PRMIA members to draw upon Mr. Hull's extensive industry knowledge in a convenient and cost-effective setting.
