The Canadian Investment Review, in partnership with the Bonham Centre for Finance, Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, is pleased to present the 4th Annual Risk Management Conference at the Fairmont Algonquin in New Brunswick.

The Risk Management Conference provides Canadian plan sponsors with an innovative and thought-provoking educational experience. Our mandate is to foster dialogue and debate between senior representatives from the plan sponsor, academic, custodial and money management communities.

Registration will take place on Wednesday August 21 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. and the sessions will run from Thursday to Friday. The conference will kick off with a golf day on Wednesday August 21 at 9:00 a.m.

 

The Canadian Investment Review is Canada's leading forum for academics, institutional investors and industry practitioners to exchange ideas on the capital markets, investment and economic theory, and the related sociology and demographics.

The magazine publishes articles that offer original ideas based on existing literature and brings new insight to relevant themes and practices within the institutional investment community. The Canadian Investment Review is a publication of Rogers Media Inc.

As well as the Risk Management Conference, the Canadian Investment Review also hosts the Global Investment Conference each spring and the Alternative Investments Conference in the fall. The Second Annual Alternative Investments Conference will be held in November in Ontario.

 

Established in March 1998, the Bonham Centre for Finance is a premier research and teaching centre at the Rotman School of Management, which has a long--standing reputation for its superior work in finance. Four key areas of activity form the basis of the Bonham Centre's role at Rotman:

Research
The Bonham Centre for Finance encourages and provides funding for innovative research projects related to financial engineering, financial economics, corporate financial management, investment management and financial institution management. These research projects are undertaken by the Centre's complement of renowned faculty members, who specialize in different fields within finance.

In addition to these traditional areas of finance research, the Centre also seeks to encourage research that involves faculty members in areas other than finance, including such issues as marketing of financial services and organizational strategy for financial institutions.

Courses
Renowned for its expertise in the finance field, the Rotman School of Management attracts many of North America's top students to its MBA program. Students are offered a choice of three areas of specialization within the finance field, including investment banking; risk management and financial engineering; and funds management. Over half of Rotman's MBA students major in finance, and as the program is widely recognized by employers as the finest finance-oriented MBA in Canada, many obtain jobs in the finance sector upon graduation.

Links With the Financial Community
The Bonham Centre for Finance is dedicated to fostering links with organizations that share its commitment to the continuing evolution of the finance field. In addition to its links with the Finance and Research Trading Laboratory and the TSE Capital Markets Institute at Rotman, the Centre is active in building relationships with the financial community in Toronto, bridging the gap between the academic and business worlds. Seminars, workshops and conferences are just some of the activities that bring together great minds working in finance to discuss the latest trends, issues and findings. And the influential network of MBA alumni working in the finance field is increasing in number every year.

FinanceLink
The Bonham Centre for Finance publishes a regular newsletter that reviews research and teaching activities in finance at Rotman, along with emerging issues in the field. This flagship publication of the Centre is available to alumni, donors and friends of the Bonham Centre for Finance.
