Risk Intrigue
Posted on November 17th, 2008 by Priya Ramesh »Permalink
Happy Monday, everybody. Have you been reading the lively debate between Risktical Ramblings’s Chris Hayes and Stuart King (whose risk management blog is at computerweekly.com)? It seems Stuart believes Chris’s strategies for risk assessment are impractical. Chris, in a response, takes a stab at explaining how he and Stuart differ on views of risk assessment. Feel free to weigh in in the comments on who’s making the stronger case. Could Team Stuart and Team Chris tees be far behind?
Meanwhile, Jim Kim has some tough questions at FierceSarbox — first for AIG’s board and also for NY hedge fund Peconic Partners, whose fired chief compliance officer is raising questions about just what precipitated his ouster, and whether it had anything to do with questions he raised about the head of the fund’s trading activity. Hmmm.
Speaking of lively and hedge funds, check out footnoted.org’s live-blog from last week’s Congressional hearing on hedge funds. Seriously, you should read it.
