Alternative and derivative asset classes are a rapidly growing investment vehicle for insurers and investment managers who are looking for ways to hedge market volatility and maximise return at a time when margins are razor thin. However, these investment types come with their own accounting, reporting, and regulatory challenges. What might seem like a good strategy can turn into more operational headaches for you and your team.
Whether your organisation is currently invested in alternatives and derivatives or simply investigating the idea, you will find this webinar recording full of valuable best practices and tips for scaling your investment accounting and reporting operations. Listen as we discuss the current state of these asset classes in the market and how to prepare for upcoming trends and regulations.
This webinar recording is targeted at our EMEA audience. We previously ran a US version of this webinar during May 2020 and a link to that recording can be found on our website.
