The EDHEC-Risk Institutional Days 2010 are organised by an academic research centre for the benefit of professionals to present the research conducted by EDHEC-Risk Institute and discuss its results with the institutional investor and fund manager communities.
The conference will include several main events that will allow professionals to review major industry challenges, explore state-of-the-art investment techniques, and benchmark practices to research advances:
- The overriding theme of the Indexation and Passive Investment Conference will on this occasion be "back to basics": differentiating between indices and benchmarks and the consequences for the investment management process. EDHEC-Risk researchers will explore enhanced index and optimal benchmark construction and look at new forms of indices and benchmarks. The event will also be the occasion to evaluate the use of passive investment vehicles, in particular ETFs, and of indices.
- The Global Institutional Investment Conference will present the results of EDHEC-Risk research into themes of great interest to institutional investors; these research results will be discussed in view of the comments from senior representatives of the finance industry. The conference will open with a session that will bring together institutional investors and regulators for a debate on the impact of regulations on the financial management of European pension funds. The conference will also be the opportunity to compare institutional investors’ and issuers’ needs for inflation-linked bonds, to assess the value of dynamic liability-driven investment from an integrated asset-liability management (ALM) perspective, and to better understand how to manage risk with sovereign wealth funds.
- At the Advanced Portfolio Construction Seminar, professors from London Business School and EDHEC Business School will explain how to use market indicators, such as prices or volatility, to optimise portfolio construction and will examine the role of real assets in long-term asset allocation.
- The Private Wealth Management Seminar will focus on the application of asset-liability management to private wealth management (PWM). EDHEC-Risk will examine the current shortcomings of PWM; an overview of best practices for private ALM will put these shortcomings into perspective.
- The PhD Forum is the novelty of the 2010 edition of EDHEC-Risk Institutional Days. It will feature three presentations given by students from EDHEC-Risk Institute's PhD in Finance programme on their specialised research topics.
The purpose of the EDHEC-Risk Institute PhD in Finance is to help outstanding individuals become autonomous researchers and lifelong innovators by enabling them to develop the scientific background and skills required to define, conduct, and complete research projects that advance knowledge and practices in the financial industry.
As such, EDHEC-Risk wished to enable participants at EDHEC-Risk Institutional Days 2010 to be able to have access to the latest in financial theory and research and to debate and discuss these issues with researchers who not only have cutting-edge knowledge of analytical and research methods in finance but are also fully aware of the consequences of these methods for the financial industry.
