Overview of the webinar
Market risk is present in any asset with a market value and has the potential for the market value of the asset to decline. It is most typically associated with interest rates, equities, currencies and commodities, but can extend to real estate, jewelry and art as well other assets with a market value. Given the nature of the market risk, it can be managed in terms of absolute return or relative return and in all cases must be managed in terms of a risk/return evaluation. This presentation will review market risk management from the perspective of the market risk objectives and the market risk considerations of:
- Investors

- Proprietary Positioners
- Corporate Treasurers
- Money Managers
It will further review the hedging of market risk exposures as well as examine the presence of leverage and the primary methods of creating leverage. Lastly, it will address the primary management practices for the effective management of market risk.

Market risk is experienced by investors as well as by most firms which would include commercial banks, investment banks, private banks, nonfinancial institutions and asset management firms. Investors are exposed to market risk in their investment activities. Commercial banks and investment banks are exposed to market risk in their trading and proprietary positioning activities as well as in the case of all firms in the management of their of funding, investment portfolios, currency exposures and capital positions. Private banks and asset management firms are exposed to market risk with respect to the investment performance of portfolios under their management.
