Risk.net Asset Management

Risk.net Asset Management Focused on the investment management community. Coverage is concentrated across: risk management; regulation; derivatives; markets; and quantitative investing

The asset management category of Risk.net covers risk management, derivatives and regulation from the point of view of the buy-side. That includes asset managers, insurers, pension funds and hedge funds. Our risk management coverage focuses mainly – but not exclusively – on market risk. For insurers and pension funds this means paying special attention to interest rate risk and to how institutions

manage and match their assets and liabilities. We follow the work of asset managers and hedge funds to model, understand and manage investment risk on behalf of customers. In derivatives we cover changes in market practice and how they affect the buy side, dislocations in pricing that reflect fundamental or structural changes in the market (rather than short-term movements), and broader changes in the derivatives industry that affect buy-side firms. Our regulatory coverage encompasses Solvency II – the incoming European insurance regime – and how that affects insurance company capital and risk management. We also track the effects of Emir and Mifid II on the buy side. Our regulatory coverage is focused on the regulation of derivatives markets and risk management rather than the regulation of firms, per se. So we steer away from rules about how buy-siders are organised or about the distribution of investment products, for example. Our coverage is of interest to participants in the derivatives markets, risk management professionals and their various advisers across both buy- and sell-side firms. The asset management team sits at the heart of Risk.net – the industry-leading website focused on providing deep and analytical coverage of risk management, derivatives and regulation.
