General information

Overview

The South African market

The South African market was largely protected from the worst of the credit crisis due to regulatory constraints that limited the risk investors could take on. However, the effects of the global downturn have still been felt, especially due to the reduction of capital entering the economy from overseas and there remain challenges for the market to face. Uncertainty about future changes to regulation, a lack of liquidity in the market and the volatility of the Rand and commodities prices are causing concern for many investors.

Risk South Africa

This year’s event will offer practical strategies to address the major risk management and portfolio construction challenges facing your business.

Risk South Africa will combine cutting edge analysis of the challenges facing the South African market from local experts and discussion of global best practice from leading international speakers.

The event will examine the lessons that can be learnt from recent market volatility and how to reflect these in your business strategy.

Speakers will discuss the future of financial regulation in South Africa, the changes you can expect to see in the coming months and what you should be doing to prepare for them.

Attending will enable you to explore investment opportunities and to develop strategies for managing and modelling the risks facing your business.

The 2 stream format for the event will allow you to tailor the event to your own needs and interests. There will also be a separately bookable pre-conference seminar on 10th March.
