In today’s complex economic landscape and interconnected markets, volatility can bubble up in the blink of an eye. From geopolitical tensions to election jitters, shifting interest rates and policy U-turns, multiple factors can lead to turbulence or turmoil.

As the pace of change accelerates, financial firms must consider how best to adapt their volatility strategies to maximise opportunities and manage risk. This webinar explores the latest trends and tactics, offering insights from leading practitioners.

Key topics include:
