Risk Management and Valuation Blog for $30 Trillion Institutional Investment Industry

TRUMBULL, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Recognizing the continued need for actionable information about institutional investment best practices, Dr. Susan Mangiero offers analysis of critical issues affecting the $30+ trillion global buy side industry. This unique investment risk management and valuation blog at www.goodriskgovernancepays.com serves as a resource for trustees, board members, attorneys, money managers and financial advisors with asset allocation, governance, risk management and fiduciary oversight responsibilities.

According to Dr. Mangiero, “Investment risk governance is more important than ever before. As billion dollar losses continue to make headlines, fiduciaries and their counsel continue to be challenged with volatile markets, a slew of new mandates and investment complexity that requires rigorous due diligence. Litigation is increasing at a fast clip and investment professionals must absolutely embrace and demonstrate an understanding of risk management and valuation issues. Post-Madoff and the credit crisis, there is no room for complacency.”
