Overview of GRI The Global Risk Institute in Financial Services (GRI) responds to the needs of the private and public sectors for better intelligence, information and training regarding risk in the financial services sector. Founded by the Canadian public and private sectors in 2011, GRI now has 19 private sector members working alongside its four founding members, Manulife Financial (Private Sector), TD Group (Private Sector), and the Governments of Ontario and Canada (public sector). The organization’s mandate is the provision of applied and integrative research and education programs in financial risk for organizations around the world. Through its research and education programs, GRI builds integrated risk management capacity for private and public sector risk professionals and acts as a hub, stimulating evidence-based debate between regulators, practitioners and academics engaged in risk. Research Guided by its member’s needs, GRI has created five research streams covering topics as diverse as the impact of a prolonged period of low interest rates, risk sharing challenges in insurance and pensions, risk management and market liquidity, Systemic Risk, and Extreme Risk Measures and Model Risk. Working in partnership with leading researchers in Europe and North America, GRI publishes research papers, presents at conferences and runs a workshop series from its base in Toronto. These workshops offer academic and industrial perspectives on issues related to financial risk, and provide members with the opportunity to engage in debate with their peers. In addition to these activities, GRI also sponsors and presents at conferences, such as the Society for Financial Econometrics (SoFiE) Conference 2014, which was held in Toronto with support from GRI and the Rotman Business School at the University of Toronto. Education Working closely with its academic partners, GRI has launched a number of education initiatives since 2011, including the world’s first risk oversight program for Board (Non-Executive) Directors, the Board Risk Oversight and Insight Program. This program, which is currently reserved for Board Directors at GRI’s members, provides attendees with the tools and approaches necessary to interrogate management’s strategy from the perspective of risk and opportunity. GRI has also launched Canada’s first post-Graduate Diploma in Risk Policy and Regulation in partnership with Queens’ University, Ontario, and runs a series of GRI forums designed to allow senior risk professionals from the public and private sectors to debate key topics in risk management in an informal session, which discussions facilitated by subject experts. Cutting across industry sub-sectors and the different vantage points of the private sector, regulators, central banks and academia, GRI creates new approaches to risk in the financial services sector, helping member organizations to build innovative and practical strategies that better manage the balance between risk and opportunity in financial services. This approach can be seen to best effect in their annual conference, to be held in Montreal in 2014, which devotes a day to an in-depth examination of a current issue in risk management, considering this from the perspectives of both practitioners, government, regulators and academic researchers. Michel Maila was named president and CEO in June 2012. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Global Risk Institute in Financial Services」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
