A Decade of Crashes Ahead: A Conference on 21st Century Risk Management

NEW YORK, April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Legendary authorities in risk Dr. Jon Danielsson (London School of Economics), Barry Schachter (Woodbine Capital), and others will address problems in today's discredited methods of risk management at RiXtrema's Tail Risk Conference. The true levels of risk inherent in many asset classes around the world are likely to shock investors once again. "Market participants are grossly mispricing the risk in European Sovereign Bonds. The risk management is driven by headlines and is completely reactive, so investors have forgotten about Irish bonds and consider assets like Austrian bonds to be safe. This is a disaster waiting to happen, despite an apparent tranquility," says Sergey Guskov, CEO of RiXtrema, http://www.rixtrema.com.

Forbes.com mentioned RiXtrema alongside top universities, such as MIT and Stanford, as one of the innovators in the risk modeling field. Register for the conference in Boston (April 24, 2012) or New York (April 25, 2012) at http://www.rixtrema.com/tailrisk.html. Media passes are available.
