Course Overview

Models supporting risk-based portfolio diversification fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. Growth built on poorly controlled the financial and banking practice capability reverses faster than it accumulated. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the financial and banking practice discipline and under-invest in testing it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about risk-based portfolio diversification. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this aspect of financial and banking practice and prepares them for it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the practice within financial and banking practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place risk-based portfolio diversification among the areas with the widest performance spread. This programme builds this aspect of financial and banking practice from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this area of financial and banking practice sustainable.
