Recorded Webinar: Adopting Entity Data Hierarchies to Address Holistic Risk Management
Firms across the board are struggling to gain a comprehensive view of their counterparty risk. In the wake of the Credit Crisis, regulators have increased their focus on pushing firms to not only better understand risk exposure, but also be able to provide evidence of the analysis they use to create their view of risk.
Entity identification has emerged as a key requirement for firms seeking to understand the links between investment securities, issuers, counterparties and risk measures. But creating entity hierarchies – which are required to link legal entities, counterparties and issuers with securities, thereby establishing beneficial ownership – remains a challenge.
Despite great strides, such as the adoption of the global legal entity identifier (LEI), firms continue to be hamstrung by data issues in their attempts to address credit and counterparty risk. The complexity of operations and reliance on multiple data sources have proven to be key factors that add layers of difficulty.
This webinar will examine the challenges associated with mapping, managing and visualizing the data sets needed to create a holistic view of market, country and counterparty risk. The panellists will discuss what data and technology are needed to address legal entity hierarchies and country of risk, using a proactive and robust approach to data mapping. This will include examples from both the buy and sell sides. Finally, the speakers will provide guidance on how to approach a top-down strategy for entity data management.
