You’re invited to attend our next FasterSTREET community evening - FasterSTREET - RISK DATA and ANALYTICS featuring: industry panel & discussion, Chief Wine Officer® fine-wine reception / canapé dinner, and peer networking - at Club 101 Park Avenue, New York 10178, from 6:15pm, Monday 8th December.

Today, Risk Management is more than ever the pivotal function in financial services. Never has it been more topical than in the current issues facing the market as the pressures mount to address the key features of achieving effective management of risk – protecting the balance sheet, client and market interests.

Data lies at the heart of the challenge – and its sheer scale. Scale in terms of the heterogeneous sources of transaction & counterparty information across the firm, and depth of historical market data for scenario back testing.  Overnight used to be sufficient but the combination of regulation, business prudence and competitive pressure to optimize “safe – risk managed” trading is raising the bar.

Infrastructure technologies around processors, networks and hardware are innovating, and leading risk exponents are embracing these new architectures. The combination of components and possibilities for solutions needs exposure and debate.  Faster Risk, Data & Analytics from Intel will continue the tradition of this successful series by assembling a uniquely broad range of experience to fully air the subject including: credit, market, operational and systemic risk – analytical formulas, asset liability management and the risk / compliance balance.

In 2009 nobody is likely to be reprimanded for looking at better approaches to risk management – advanced technologies will be the enablers, and this event will provide some valuable input to thinking.
