“Investment decisions are no longer simply local – they increasingly involve assets from all around the globe. Understanding how to evaluate and control the risks involved in global investments is therefore a crucial aspect of modern asset management. These risks include the usual suspects, like currency risk. However, they also encompass more subtle but equally important risks like political risk and corporate governance risk.”
Dr. Tarun Ramadorai, Programme Director
As investment managers increasingly look to the growth prospects of the BRIC economies and emerging markets, it is imperative that they understand the additional risks they entail. The Oxford Global Investment Risk Management Programme builds expertise in identifying the most important risks in global investment and the techniques used to effectively monitor and manage them.
Led by the award winning Tarun Ramadorai, and other members of the Oxford finance faculty team, the programme provides access to the latest world class investment research. This is coupled with insight into the implementation experience of senior guest practitioners from KPMG, BlackRock and Allen & Overy.
Participants gain expertise in the issues confronting global investment managers and corporations, and develop frameworks for formulating strategic asset management decisions in a global context.
Key topics include:
• Currency Markets
• Exchange rate forecast theories and determination
• Carry trade
• Currency hedging using derivatives
• International asset allocation and portfolio strategies
• Sovereign risk, political risk and capital controls
• International corporate governance risk
• International tax planning
The Oxford Global Investment Risk Management Programme is offered in association with CFA Institute.
