In this highly anticipated program, Dr. Damodaran will argue that the days of stable equity risk premiums are behind us and that, after years of economic turmoil, equity risks must be related to events and fundamentals, and checked between markets to ensure their accuracy. This in-depth examination will focus on the connections between country-specific risks, historical equity risks, and related data, and what financial professionals must do to ensure accuracy when determining risk premiums in the new economy.

"We're thrilled to partner with Dr. Aswath Damodaran for what is sure to be a very insightful webinar," said Blake Lyman, Professional Program Manager at BVR. "Dr. Damodaran will cover a wealth of topics regarding risk premiums, including the approaches and methods best suited to determine country and equity risks as well the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches. You won't want to miss this session with one of the top minds in the world."

Webinar highlights include:

• The relationships between country and equity risks and measures of volatility, risk, and return
• Which approaches and methods are best suited to determine country and equity risks and the relative strengths and weaknesses of these approaches
• Why the days of static risk premiums are over and why dynamic, forward-looking estimates of risk are now imperative
• Why comparison of risk premiums across markets is now a necessity for checking consistency and pricing
