Sept. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- Vancouver, Canada - Sept 5th, 2012

FINCAD, the leading provider of OTC pricing and risk management solutions, announced today its participation in the Portfolio-Level Valuation and Risk Measurement event sponsored with Ascent Partners and Alpha Omega, to be held on September 7th.  Dr. Tony Webb, Directory of Analytics at FINCAD, will be one of the presenters discussing portfolio level valuation and risk measurement analysis for alternative investment fund managers.

"The evening will be an informative discussion for those wanting to learn more about getting accurate valuations, as well as obtaining a true understanding about risk exposure of their portfolio," commented Dr. Webb. "Companies need to get a better picture of their portfolio or they will make bad trading decisions, resulting in poor performance results relative to the risk taken."

"We're very pleased to be able to co-sponsor this event with Alpha Omega and Ascent Partners," stated Amar Budhiraja, Director of Strategic Business Development. "Consistently in our annual surveys risk is a critical topic and a challenge for financial professionals in the market and this event is a great opportunity for those in the region to get a more in-depth perspective of the best practices and approaches in managing their portfolio's risk."
