The 4-day web session assists actuaries in broadening their
knowledge about modern quantitative financial and actuarial
modelling; these topics form an essential part of the CERA
syllabus. At the beginning of the online training we give a brief
overview of the EAA-route to the CERA designation.
The core part of the web session begins with an introduction to
the modern theory of risk measures. Next, a number of statistical
techniques are discussed, that are highly relevant for the analysis
of actuarial and financial data and for the model-building process
in risk management. Among others, we will consider extreme value
theory, dependence modelling, copulas, and various aspects of
integrated risk management. The training continues with an
introduction to the modelling and the management of interest rates
and credit risks. In particular, participants will learn how to
price simple interest options or Credit Default Swaps, how to
account for counterparty risk and how to deal with credit portfolio
risk.
The web session consists of lectures and exercise sessions. In
fact, exercise sessions, where various exercises and supplementary
examples are discussed, form an integral part of the seminar: they
help the participants to understand the qualitative and
quantitative techniques introduced in the lectures, and they are a
key element in the preparation for the CERA exam.
Your early-bird registration fee for this CERA web session is €
975.00 plus 19% VAT for bookings by 2 January 2024. After this
date, the fee will be € 1080.00 plus 19% VAT.
