Risk Management in the Financial
Services Sector Conference
Sponsored by Exness
20th May 2015
Carob Mill, Limassol, 09:30 - 14:30
The premier forum for providers Investment Services, Forex, and
Binary Options, offering a comprehensive presentation of the relevant
regulations regarding Risk Management in the sector, practical
advice on all relevant issues, and presentation of various solutions.
As the sector is settling after a few turbulent years due to the global financial crisis, firms within the
sector need to respond to large changes, both from a regulatory perspective and from the everincreasing strategic challenges to manage risk. Even though the post-crisis surge of regulatory
changes is diminishing, companies are constantly faced with market shocks, with latest being the
decision of the Swiss National Bank to abolish the exchange rate cap, sending new shockwaves
within the sector.
In light of these recent significant events, the Executive Training Department of the region’s largest
consultants of the financial services sector, the European Institute of Management & Finance
organises the ‘Risk Management in the Financial Services Sector’ Conference, a unique
international conference in Cyprus in the challenges the companies within the sector face.
Participants will have a unique opportunity to be updated by renowned professionals in the field,
to be presented with practical solutions, and exchange views and discuss issues pertaining to the
current affairs, both from a regulatory and from a practical perspective.
