Q-Group Monthly Lunch Series - Maximizing RAROC: A risk-based approach to portfolio optimization

Date: 
31 Oct 2019
Speaker: 

Emilian Belev (Northfield)

Location: 

RedOak Beer Cafe
201 Clarence St, Sydney

PLEASE NOTE THE NON-STANDARD DAY-OF-WEEK AND SHORT NOTICE.

Short bio: Emilian Belev has led the research and development of Northfield's Enterprise Risk Analytics at Northfield for about two decades. Emilian is an actively involved CFA charter holder, a recipient of the Certificate in Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management, and a member of the PRMIA expert advisory group for Market Risk. Emilian is a winner of the 2013 Professional Risk Management International Association Award “New Frontiers in Risk Management”, and recipient of the 2015 American Real Estate Society Award for Best Practitioner Research.

Additional notes: Money managers and banks typically have a different emphasis with regard to risk. While money managers focus on risk factors and mean-variance criterion, banks are interested in binary outcomes such as solvent/not solvent, or compliant/not compliant. The RAROC approach attempts to bridge this gap. Specifically, RAROC uses a preference function that incorporates all moments of risk-adjusted returns, while simultaneously appealing to the incentives of money-managers and banks.

As per usual, we will aim for a 20-minute presentation, followed by lunch and a (lightly) moderated discussion.
