  • Attribution of investment risk
  • The pros and cons of traditional investment risk measures
  • Evaluating the performance of a superannuation fund’s equity managers

    “banker” for managing liquidity risk
  • Where might the next “left field” risk come from

  • Are larger funds better able to manage unexpected risks than smaller and perhaps more nimble smaller funds
