New York, NY (PRWEB) February 23, 2012
Regulation, transparency and organizational change will be key concerns for risk managers in buy-side institutions during 2012, according to a survey by SunGard and the Professional Risk Managers International Association (PRMIA). The survey, carried out in late 2011, polled 388 industry participants in 62 countries, including asset managers, private banks, hedge funds, insurance firms, pension funds and regulators. They gave their views on the challenges and trends they see shaping the industry in 2012, from asset class allocation to the role of risk management in successful fundraisings.
Robert Mackay, chief operating officer, hedge funds and risk solutions, in SunGards asset management business, said, 2012 looks to be a formative year for buy-side risk management. We believe demonstration of robust risk practices will increase in importance and influence raising assets. Risk managers stand to benefit from these developments if they have the tools to demonstrate their value and communicate meaningful risk insight to different audiences both inside and outside their organizations.
The ten trends in buy side risk management identified by the SunGard/PRMIA survey are:
1.????Despite the 2011 commodities flash crash, buy-side institutions are expecting to focus investment in energy and commodities.
????25% of respondents said they would be increasing their exposure to these asset classes in 2012. Along with fixed income, they represent the top three growth asset classes.
2.????Absolute return and emerging market equity are the two investment strategies that will see the greatest increase in assets over 2012.
????21% of participants expect absolute return strategies to see an influx of investment, compared to 19% for emerging market equity and 17% for liability driven investments.
3.????Risk management will take on greater prominence within buy side institutions in 2012.
????Over 85% of respondents agreed that it will play an increasingly important role in their organizations.
4.????Reflecting its greater importance to the buy side, risk management will become central to raising assets in 2012.
????Over 80% of respondents agreed that having transparent risk management practices is increasingly crucial in attracting new investments.
5.????The ability to demonstrate risk management across multiple asset classes will be a priority in 2012.
????Over 80% of respondents rated this as either important or very important.
6.????Faster and more flexible risk reporting with extended asset class coverage will help make significant positive contributions to risk management.
????28% of participants think faster and more flexible risk reporting would help improve risk management in their organization.
7.????There is a growing realization that, for risk management to be effective, organizational change needs to take place.
????50% of respondents said that the single most positive development for risk management would be changes in organizational cultures, including a better risk culture and a better defined risk appetite.
8.????Regular stress testing will become a key part of buy side firms portfolio management practices.
????90% of respondents rated stress tests as either important or very important in 2012.
9.????Firms are preparing for a new global regulatory environment, affecting the whole buy-side spectrum and shaping 2012 risk management practices, regardless of a firms location.
????Notably, 66% expect Dodd Frank and Solvency II to have the biggest impact, even though these regulations will not be implemented this year and have only regional reach.
10.????Despite increasing acceptance of the importance of risk management, the ability to demonstrate its value will be risk managers primary challenge in 2012.
????60% of respondents named this as their main concern. While increased investor demand for risk reporting will underline its potential positive impact on assets under management, buy-side firms will have to prove that their risk systems and processes are really going to help create value for the end investor.
Philip Lawton, senior analyst on Aite Group’s Institutional Securities & Investments team, commented: Regulators and senior management have recognized the value of sound risk management. The next step is for risk managers to make a clear connection between risk and return to influence front office investment decisions.

New York, New York (PRWEB) February 17, 2012
Four workers at the Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens fell into a freshly dug grave. One worker was injured in the fall, reported the New York Post (2/6/2012).
According to the New York Post, Raimundo Rodriguez was cleaning the grave site when he plunged 6 feet down into the open grave.
Rodriguez broke his ankle on the hard casket, said the tabloid. His three co-workers landed on top of him.
Every year, many people are seriously injured in a slip and fall accident in New York.
Employees who are injured in a slip and fall accident at work should immediately report the slip and fall accident to the owner or the nearest person of authority, recommend New York personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm. An accident report should then be completed if one is available.
In New York, the slip and fall accident report should include what happened, name and contact information of witnesses and the conditions that may have caused the fall such as weather and lighting.
“If an accident report is requested by the slip and fall victim, and none is provided, the slip and fall victim in New York should compile his or her own record of what happened,” advised New York personal injury lawyer David Perecman, founder of The Perecman Firm, and a personal injury lawyer in New York for over 30 years.
Photos of the area where the slip and fall accident took place should also be taken, if possible.
Any physical injuries from the slip and fall accident should be checked out by a health care provider as soon as possible to help substantiate any claims.
Individuals injured in a slip and fall accident in New York, may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, hospital and medical expenses and physical disability.
To speak with an experienced New York personal injury lawyer about a slip and fall in New York, please contact the New York personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm at http://www.perecman.com.
